The purpose of this study is to develop an approach to teaching qualitative research methods (TQRM) for Library and Information Science. To draw trend of TQRM, 76 course syllabi collected in the research oriented universities' master and doctoral programs, were analyzed using content analysis. The study proposes both common topics and essential strategies for TQRM in terms of the paradigm of qualitative research, research design, wide range of approaches to QR, diversity of collecting and analyzing data, writing, and evaluation criteria. It is very important to identify qualitative stance and to understand paradigms and philosophical and theoretical frameworks of QR for conducting QR reiteratively, creatively, reflectively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the trends of qualitative research in four representative journals in Korean LIS from 1970 to 2016. 73 papers(1.4%) were analyzed focusing on publication year, subject areas, research purposes, authors, qualitative methods, research participants, data collection methods, data analysis methods, and methods of validation. The findings are as follows: 1) Information behaviour(39.7%) was the most researched topics, followed by librarians work(20.5%), and bibliotherapy & reading education(13.6%). 2) The most frequently used research purpose was for understanding experiences(60.2%) and for improving current state(30.1%). 3) 'Grounded theory'(13.6%) and 'phenomenology'(10.9%), 'case study'(10.9%), were used frequently, while 'non-specified qualitative method' was 26.0% and 'not indicated' was 21.9%. 4) Librarians (41.0%) were the most researched participants, followed by professionals(13.6%). To collect qualitative data, in-depth interview(20.5%), interview(13.6%), and in-depth interview & internal documents(9.5%) were frequently used. There are 'loose qualitative research' group and 'scientific qualitative research' group. LIS researchers using qualitative research methods should consistently make efforts to increase qualitative theory and the philosophical assumptions, and to apply rigorous research method (data collection, analysis and interpretation, sampling, data saturation, validity and reliability). Institutionally, It is to provide 'qualitative research methods' course and to develop guidelines and standards for LIS qualitative research authors and reviewers.

The purpose of this research is to study the meanings and characteristics of qualitative research method in LIS. As the philosophy and epistemology of qualitative research are widely different from those of quantitative research, the meaning of validity and reliability must be interpreted in its ow9 structure and dimension. Essentially qualitative researchers seek to understand and interpret the world of others from their own viewpoints which basically tend to be subjective. Accordingly, qualitative researchers‘ understandings and interpretations are met with readers' subjectivity. By carefully analyzing the nature of qualitative research in LIS, I tried to point out some problems in terms of validity and reliability and practical strategies. Six problems issued in the qualitative research method are presented.

This study explores the factors that determine the quality of private information and how the subsequent consumption behavior is driven. The aim of the study is to discuss how the firms' collection of private information should be conducted and which factors are crucial to raising firm performances. The empirical test conducted with a sample of 331 online consumers suggest that credibility and skepticism were strongly influenced by website reputation and massive information collection, accordingly. Then, the established credibility and skepticism determined the quality of the provided information, ultimately influencing the subsequent consumption behaviors, which are revisit intention and switching intention. Especially, the falsity of provided information was a strong driver of the consumption behavior, highlighting the importance of the quality of provided information on firm performances.

Online firms collect consumers' private information, which serves as a valuable database for marketing activities. In order to encourage consumers to provide their private information, online firms offer high quality websites for consumers who provide private information. However, identity theft, phishing, and pharming, become critical social issues, consumers started to avoid providing their private information to online firms. Thus, consumers often provide false or limited information, which lacks value for practical use for the online firms. The main issue raised in this study is to discuss how online marketing activities has influence on consumers attitude and information providing behavior. From the result, this paper found that websites reputation had greatest impact on willingness of providing information. Also this study revealed that unauthorized use is the key factor for increasing distrust and avoidance of providing information.

선호구조의 논리를 결정모델에 적용시킬 때 선호구조는 일반적으로 특정 수치적 순서화 조건을 만족하게끔 표현된다. 그래야 주어진 선택지들을 둘러싼 개인 혹은 집단의 선호구조에 관한 정보가 형식적으로 표출될 수 있다고 여겨져 왔다. 그러나 선호구조의 수치적 순서화에 의해서만 선호관계의 정보가 형식적으로 표출될 수 있다는 성각은 일종의 독단이다. 더욱이 다양한 선택지의 결합에 의한 선호구조의 정보 이동은 기존의 수치적 순서화 속에서 제대로 다루어질 수 없다. 하나의 대안으로서 선형대수의 그래프이론에 바탕을 둔 선호구조의 질적 순서화 방식을 제안한다. 개인 혹은 집단의 선호구조에 관한 정보는 제안될 질적 순서화에 의해 보다 포괄적으로 다루어질 수 있다.

Due to the settlement of the ICT environment and the widespread dissemination of Net media, the quantitative digital divide based on access to information has evolved into the formation of a qualitative digital divide. In the current information environment where enormous amounts of information exist on the Internet, there is a deeper intellectual digital divide that is different from the existing quantitative and qualitative digital divide. This study identified the changes in digital divide resulted from the evolution of information environment and empirically verified the formation of the intellectual digital divide. It also demonstrated that the intellectual digital divide is not distinct from the existing quantitative and qualitative digital divide, but from differences in the intellectual capacity of the information based on the factors of the existing digital divide. In particular, it was confirmed that the educational and economic levels, which have been the key factors of the traditional digital divide, still form the quantitative and qualitative digital divide, and also act as the key factors in the formation of the intellectual digital divide.

매체의 소유와 이용이 특정 계층의 전유물이던 예전과는 달리, 요즈음의 어린이들은 태어남과 동시에 자연스럽게 여러 종류의 매체들에 접하게 된다. 그 중 컴퓨터가 보급되면서 정보시대가 열리게 되었고, 인터넷이 급속도로 확산되면서 인터넷은 생활 속에서 커다란 자리를 차지하게 되었다. 인터넷은 전 세계를 동일한 공간과 시간으로 연결하면서 이전의 매체가 제공하지 못했던 즉각적 정보의 확산 인간관계의 확장과 의사소통 속도가 증가, 새로운 범세계적 커뮤니티의 형성을 가능하게 하는 등 긍정적인 영향뿐만 아니라 부정적인 영향에 대한 우려의 목소리가 높아지고 있는 가운데 'PC중독' 그리고 최근 들어 'PC방 중독' 현상에 대한 관심이 또한 고조되고 있다. 이에 중 고등 학생들을 대상으로 한 컴퓨터 중독 관련 연구는 상당수 이루어졌으나 초등학생을 대상으로 한 질적 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 초등학생들 대상으로 PC중독에 대한 질적 사례연구로 아동들의 PC중독의 문제와 상담방법을 질적 사례 연구방법으로 접근 하였다.

본 논문에서는 민감한 양적 정보를 얻기 위한 조사에서 응답자들이 정직하게 응답하기를 꺼리는 질문들에 대하여 응답자의 비밀을 노출시키기 않고서 양적 정보에 대한 보다 정확한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 양적 확률화응답기법을 인터넷 상에서 사용할 수 있도록 구현하고자 한다. 본 시스템에 DB 환경에 바탕을 두어 기존의 온라인 설문조사 시스템 및 질적 확률화응답기법과 연계하여 자료를 공유할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 독립된 스팟 서베이(spot survey)가 가능하도록 구현하고자 한다.

As past paradigm discussion was restricted to the political issues and related antagonistic ideologies, there are desires to reignite discussion from the concrete theological practices and differences in methodological variations. Interactive Study does not require mere antithesis phase but requires interactive study creation as phase itself. The purpose of this study is to analyze quality methodology cases, and to provide basic data for the application of the methodology. For this purpose, current Journalism and Mass communication discussions will be examined and characteristics of quality study and traditional methodology types will be scrutinized. In further, researches in the scientific journals of Korean Association for Communication and Information Studies will be analyzed to point out trend of quality methodology. The scope of analysis includes theological background and methodology, sampling method, data collecting method, reliability analysis. Appliance of quality research method requires more rigid and detailed methodological discussions and applications.
