This study is to present improvement plans by examining how Korean literature house websites provide information services. Seventy-nine Korean literature houses out of eighty-eight members of the Korean Literature House Association were studied, except nine that did not construct websites. Three core elements, including website style, literary works information and writer information, together with thirteen sub-elements, were derived from precedent studies. As a result, it was found that 90% of the literature houses were operating websites, but the classification criteria for the literary works and cataloguing rules were not unified, and literature information was not provided sufficiently. Thus, this study suggested improvement plans such as support to build a website, developing cataloging guidelines for literature houses, providing more full-text literature and providing information about literary works and writer.

Archives provide users with easier and more convenient access to and use of archival data through their Internet websites. Now, archival websites function not only as a tool of information provision or marketing, or as a gateway of Internet-based materials, but also as cyber space for all services of archives, providing users with information and knowledge and direct accessibility to the services in the archives. At present, Korean archives are proceeding with establishing websites or upgrading existing websites, and the use rates and reliability of web services by users are becoming higher. However, although there have been various studies for the evaluation of general websites, few are found with regard to the evaluation of archival websites. It is necessary for archival websites that provide information service to users of every stripe to make more efforts and have more interest in user-centered convenience, right to know, and information provision-centered service. Accordingly, needless to say, it is necessary to study evaluation criteria of websites so that high quality archival websites can be established. With this background, this study establishes evaluation criteria for archival websites, which are appropriate to their objectives and functions and directly evaluates archives, presenting ways to establish and redevelop archival websites. More detailed purposes are as follows: First, analyzes existing theories of evaluation through reviews on previous literature and elicits evaluation criteria for websites, which are appropriate to archives; Second, based on the elicited evaluation criteria for archival websites, examines the current state of domestic archival websites through analytic evaluation; and Third, presents ways to improve archival websites that may be helpful in establishing or improving them in the future. The expectancy effects of this study are as follows: First, it will be helpful when one wishes to identify the current state of archival websites and to improve or redevelop existing websites, or to develop online service through website; Second, it will function as a checklist when a developer who is to establish an archival website wishes to develop evaluation criteria; and Third, it may be used as an inspection tool when an archives contracts out the establishment of its website.

As technology develops, U.S. state archives are using their websites to provide more and more information to state government agencies and the public, and more remote users are accessing and utilizing these websites. This study is the first to investigate how U.S. state archives collect information on their users and use of their archives and how they employ their websites to publicize these activities and their results for their own advocacy. Data was collected by examining and analyzing websites of all U.S. state archives, and the collected data was analyzed by content analysis and NVivo8 software. This study indicates that the websites of most state archives present little information on their users and usage of their archives and that U.S. state archive websites need to employ their websites for advocacy more effectively.

This study investigated whether search terms analysis of archival Web sites could be utilized effectively for archival information services. The focus was on designing a methodology which brings the search terms analysis and development of archival information services closer, especially for the contents services. The data were collected from the Presidential Archives because it can be characterized as a public archives as well as subject archives. It also tends to draw interests from a broad range of general public. The analysis was conducted with respect to three dimensions: (1) general search terms; (2) names of individual president; (3) subject categories of search terms. The results of search terms analysis have a number of practical implications for developing archival information services including contents services, decision on the menu of the Web sites, exhibition, and education.

웹사이트의 품질 평가는 기본적으로 품질과 관련한 개별 평가요소들에 대한 측정을 필요로 한다. 또 이러한 요소들은 웹사이트 유형에 따라 그 상대적 중요도가 다르기 때문에, 개별 웹사이트 유형에 따라 요소들의 중요도를 정확히 산출하는 것이 성공적 평가의 관건이다. 그러나 웹사이트 평가요소들의 가중치에 대한 합리적 산출방법에 관한 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 평가요소들에 대한 가중치를 AHP기법을 이용하여 합리적으로 도출하기 위하여 인터넷뱅킹 이용자들을 대상으로 개별 평가요소들의 중요도에 대한 인식을 조사하여 분석하였다.

The effect of knowledge sharing and its importance have been reported in the information systems literature. However, little has been learned about the impact of knowledgeexchange web sites. This study explores relationships between individual characteristics such as personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology (PIIT), computer selfefficacy (CSE), and computer anxiety (CA), user involvement (UI), and knowledge sharing in a knowledge.exchange website. In order to examine our research model, we adopted a survey research design based on the Structural Equation Modeling method. By analyzing 241 samples collected, we conclude that UI and CA are valuable to discuss in terms of their theoretical and practical implications. This study not only extends the research on personal innovativeness and knowledge sharing, but also suggests a need for focused research efforts to investigate real practices on knowledge sharing. This study initiates this kind of efforts to make a relevant tie between design of knowledge sharing applications and the success case in the commercial field to encourage users to share their knowledge.

웹표준 준수가 미비한 국내 모바일 인터넷 환경에서는 자유로운 인터넷 서핑이 어렵고, 국내 웹사이트의 대부분이 사용성이나 접근성 보다는 다양한 기능과 화려한 디자인에 주력하여 개발하고 있기 때문에 스마트폰이나 태블릿 PC에서 접속시 사용성 및 접근성을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 이에 본 연구는 모바일 환경에서 사용성과 접근성을 고려한 웹 인터페이스를 제안함으로써 기업과 사용자들에게 모바일 환경에서도 쉽게 웹사이트 접근할 수 있도록 개선 하고자 한다. 이를 통해 연구대상인 (주)링크소프트의 웹사이트에 적용하여 향후 기업 모바일 웹사이트를 개발하고자 하는 개발자들에게 유저 인터페이스(UI) 디자인 적용방향관한 지침을 제공한다.

This study is a cross cultural examination of interactivity, comparative advertising, and technology use in Korean and U.S. corporate websites. Utilizing cultural analysis criteria of high vs. low context, power distance and individualism-collectivism, we compared interactivity in U.S. and Korean websites. Our findings indicate that U.S. corporate websites tend to emphasize customer-message and customer-advertiser interactivity, while Korean websites highlight customer-customer interactivity. Findings on comparative advertising strategy indicate that cultural bias represented in U.S. individualism and Korean collectivism leads U.S. web advertisers to utilize direct and indirect comparative advertising more frequently than their Korean counterparts. The results of our technology analysis unexpectedly show that there is no significant difference between the two countries.
