This paper examined the structure of internet bookstore users' subjectivity by focusing on their beliefs, values and attitudes.0 methodology was utilized for the study. After constituting 36 Q sample and 28 P sample, data were collect from April 15, 2005 to April 22 2005. The analyses showed 3 types of subjectivity structures. The first one was 'the economic benefit-seeking type.' Those in this type were motivated to use internet bookstores to achieve economic benefits. They paid more attention to the Prices discounted than the web site contents provided by internet bookstores. This type was conspicuously found among college students. The second one was the 'information-seeking type.' People in this category made visits to internet bookstores in order to obtain new information or professional materials. This type was dominantly found among women. The third one was the 'convenience-seeking type.' Those in this type were concerned not only with the accessibility and convenience, but also with such practical issues as delivery, price, applicability, payment, and bonus. This type was conspicuously observed among white collar workers. These findings suggests that in order to make internet bookstores more attractive to users, it is demanded to understand various needs held by users and map out sophisticated marketing strategies on the basis of such a knowledge.

Internet lowers the search cost to acquire information about products and sellers price information. Because consumers can easily compare prices among different Internet retailers, the price competition among merchants in Internet has been intensified. For online retailers, it is important to differentiate their sites from competitors based upon services rather than prices. This study investigates which factors influence on consumers price sensitivity in Internet book markets and examines whether consumers price sensitivity has any effect on the type of preferred Internet bookstore (hybrid or pure online book stores). Survey is conducted to empirically investigate the relationship among the various consumer attitudes and price sensitivity. The result shows that price search and price importance have effect on the choice of Internet bookstore. Consumers with higher price sensitivity preferred to purchase books from pure Internet bookstores rather than hybrid (click-and-mortar) bookstores. This study provides an exploratory framework that tries to understand consumer behavior about price sensitivity that might provide some marketing implications to lessen the price competition of Internet retailers.

도서관에서 수서업무를 위한 도구로 가상서점이 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 그동안 수서업무에서 인터넷을 사용한다 함은 단순히 온라인 상에서 DB화된 자료에 액세스 하여 자료의 유무를 파악하거나 서지사항을 조사하여 필요한 자료를 일정한 양식에 따라 주문하는 정도에 그쳤다. 이 논문은 그 범위를 확대하여 인터넷 웹의 새로운 환경에서 운영되는 전자상거래를 통해 도서관 장서개발의 새로운 도구로 활용되고 있는 가상서점을 이용하여 수서업무를 좀더 효과적으로 수행하기 위한 방법을 연구하였다.

최근 국내 최대 인터넷서점, 예스24가 5년만에 흑자를 달성했다는 보도자료를 유포, 화제가 됐다. 실상을 알아보면, 지난해 전체 적은 적자였으나 12월부터 올 2월까지 3개월 연속 흑자를 냈다는 것이다. 산업계 전반에서 보면‘3개월 흑자 낸 게 뭐 대수냐’ 싶겠지만 인터넷서점에서는 처음 있는 일이라 하니 관심이 갔다. 예스24를 방문해 봤다.

Discovery is an emerging concept to enhance the search capabilities of library resources with the Next Generation Library Catalog. This paper defined the Discovery feature based on the information search behavior, and then derived the elements that make up its function. After that, the 11 regional representatives libraries' OPACs and 3 Internet bookstores are evaluated and compared against Search & Discovery capabilities. As a result, the Internet bookstores were superior to the libraries' OPACs for all the elements that make up the Discovery functions. This study verified that the public libraries OPACs are still concentrating on known item search, and it is hard for the users to meet a serendipity which is gained through the Discovery functions.

인터넷은 단순한 하나의 테크놀로지가 아닌 생활의 전 분야에 걸쳐 새로운 패러다임을 창출하고 있다. 전 세계로 연결된 인터넷은 정보 전달의 통신수단으로 대체되고 있으며, 최근 푸시기술을 응용한 새로운 형식의 소프트웨어가 솔루션으로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이론적인 배경으로 푸시기술의 전반적인 개념 및 응용을 살펴보았고, 실제적으로 어떻게 응용되고 있는지, 특히 가상서점에서의 응용 사례를 들어보면서 앞으로 이 기술이 어떻게 발전해 가야 할지 도서관에서의 활용 방안을 모색해 보았다.

This study tries to compare the classification systems of major internet portals and their sub-portals specialized for the children and of major online book stores. It compares and analyzes the major directories of them and suggests recommendations not only to improve their own systems but also to apply to the development for the classification systems for children's library. Some of them are: (1) The system should reflect information requests and use behaviors of the children netizen. (2) It should select the terms reflecting the children's viewpoints and expressions and suggest the guidelines by ages. (3) It should maintain the clear hierarchies and grouping for the accessability and convenience of the users. (4) It will be helpful to establish the categories to mix the subject- or concept-based categories and the activities and objects of the children. (5) It will also be helpful to establish the categories based on the curricula added by those creating the imagination and interest and to subdivide by subject.
