Contingent self-esteem can be maintained by meeting the standards of social or introjected values. This study investigated whether social media-related contingent self-esteem was associated with depression in Instagram users; in a sample of 319 Instagram users, we examined the effect of contingent self-esteem on depression and the mediating effect of upward social comparison on this theorized relationship. The study findings indicated that higher contingent self-esteem predicted higher levels of depression for a week in Instagram users, which could be explained by the upward social comparisons made on this application, and showed that Instagram users with higher contingent self-esteem tended to compare themselves with other users they considered superior, thereby increasing their depression. This study provided evidence for the mechanism underlying the association between using social media and psychological well-being and indicated the vulnerability of contingent self-esteem within the social media context. Other implications and future research directions were also discussed.

Courier services users' experience of violating privacy affects psychology and behavior of protecting personal privacy. Depending on what privacy infringement experience (PIE) of courier services users, learning about perceived privacy infringement incidents is made, recognition is formed, affection is formed, and behavior is appeared. This paradigm of changing in privacy psychologies of courier services users has an important impact on predicting responses of privacy protective action (PPA). In this study, a theoretical research framework are developed to explain the privacy protective action (PPA) of courier services users by applying attitude theory. Based on this framework, the relationships among past privacy infringement experience (PIE), perceived privacy risk (PPR), privacy concerns (i.e., concerns in unlicensed secondary use (CIUSU), concerns in information error (CIE), concerns in improper access (CIA), and concern in information collection (CIC), and privacy protective action (PPA) are analyzed. In this study, the proposed research model was surveyed by people with experience in using courier services and was analyzed for finding relationships among research variables using structured an equation modeling software, SMART-PLS. The empirical results show the causal relationships among PIE, PPR, privacy concerns (CIUSU, CIE, CIA, and CIC), and PPA. The results of this study provide useful theoretical implications for privacy management research in courier services, and practical implications for the development of courier services business model.

인터넷 발달로 인한 정보격차는 장애인들의 문화지체현상을 가속화 시키고 있다. 이에 웹사이트의 원스톱 서비스에 있어 경험에 기초한 디자인과 보편적 디자인을 기반으로 접근성을 확장해 나가야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 문헌을 통해 장애인을 위한 접근성 필수항목 7가지, 즉 콘텐츠구성, 키보드접근, 마우스접근, 이미지처리, 텍스트처리, 색, 코드를 선정하고 이를 근거로 장애인 자료실이 있는 공공도서관과 그렇지 못한 공공도서관, 해외 공공도서관의 웹사이트를 대상으로 평가하였다. 이를 토대로 접근성 확장을 위해 메인페이지 개선, 사용자 경험을 기초한 콘텐츠 구성, 콘텐츠의 접근성, 의미 있는 마크업, 이용자를 위한 맞춤형 콘텐츠, 제작 권장사항 등을 제안하였다. 앞으로 장애인을 포함한 모든 이용자를 위한 웹 접근성 지침은 경험적 데이터와 보편적 디자인에서 이루어져야 할 것이다.

본 논문에서는 쇼핑몰과 같은 사이트에서의 제품이해도가 낮은 이용자를 고려한 웹 인터페이스 설계를 제안한다. 기존의 쇼핑몰의 웹 인터페이스는 제품의 설명은 적고, 특장점을 내세우는 판매 위주의 인터페이스인 것에 반해, 제안하고 있는 설계는 제품자체에 대한 설명을 사용자 경험(UX) 설계에 따라 배치하여 이용자에게 제품에 대한 경험을 제공하는 점을 차별성으로 한다. 그리고 이러한 설계를 바탕으로 CSS와 자바스크립트를 활용하여 반응형 웹 사이트를 구축하였다.

협력추천은 이용자가 가지고 있던 지식과 경험 또는 정보를 활용하는데 사용하였던 지식을 토대로 다른 이용자들이 효율적으로 정보를 획득할 수 있도록 지원하는 것을 목적으로 하는 서비스이다. 이 연구에서는 음원 서비스의 기존 이용자들이 구축해놓은 공개앨범에 나타난 정보를 분석하는 과정에 동시인용분석기법을 적용하여 음원을 찾고자 하는 이용자들에게 선호할 만한 음악을 추천해주는 방안을 제시하였다. 동시출현한 정보를 기반으로 구축된 가수 네트워크에서는 연관 가수 집단이 폭 넓게 표현될 수 있었고, 동시출현한 빈도가 높은 상위 곡은 이용자에게 직접적으로 유사정보를 추천하는 방안으로 활용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to examine how the specialty of librarians links between users' library experience and their resulting perception of the library in public libraries. After reviewing theoretical background studies, a questionnaire survey was conducted at six public libraries in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The analysis of the survey results showed that the perception of librarians' specialty had a mediation effect on the relationship between cultural, educational activity and library perception. However, information activity was not linked by the perception of librarians' specialty and only directly influenced on the library perception. Accordingly, the result raised a question of a discrepancy between the areas where the users gain the value of the library and where the librarians' specialty is perceived and some implications were suggested. This research is meaningful in integrating the users' library experience, librarians' specialty, and the library performance by external point of view on the specialty, traditionally regarded as an internal characteristic of the librarianship.

This research is a study designed to identify the needs for information literacy instruction for the U.S. public library Internet service users. The levels and needs of Internet service users as well as the development and effectiveness of the Internet services at the U.S. public libraries were investigated. The survey was administered to the Internet service users at four public libraries in the upper Midwest region of the U.S.A total of 386 surveys were collected and analyzed. The result showed that as the years of Internet use experience and the level of expertise increases, user satisfaction decreases. However, the users who had taken any Internet class showed more satisfaction than who had not. This research offers a new direction and need for information literacy instruction for public library Internet service users.
