This study aims to explore the status of next generation OPAC functionalities adopted by Korean academic libraries, and factors affecting their functionalities adoption. So 181 OPACs among 191 Korean academic libraries' OPACs are surveyed using a checklist consisting of 27 next generation OPAC functionalities. The relationships between the next generation OPAC functionalities adopted by academic libraries' OPAC and 6 factors of library, i.e., establishment, region of universities, volumes in library collection, total library expenditures, total target users, and automation solutions are analyzed by using SPSS Statistics 21. It is found that all factors except establishment of universities significantly affected the adoption of the next generation OPAC functionalities, and further detailed analysis for each factors is provided.

This study aims to explore the status and adoption pattern of next generation OPAC functionalities employed in Korean academic libraries. The paper is useful for future planning of next generation OPAC in academic libraries. This study firstly extracted major functionalities of next generation OPAC by reviewing literature and then the pilot test was conducted to validate them. The websites of 191 academic libraries in Korea were surveyed. For the accuracy of the data, the two researchers examined in redundant. The collected data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 18. 'Simple search box' was found to be the most popular function. The second popular function was 'search within results'. A few libraries used the 'clustering', 'open search plug-in', 'sort by relevance', and 'correct spelling error'.

빠르게 진화하는 상용 웹 사이트들의 검색 및 인터페이스 기술과 달리 도서관의 OPAC 시스템은 그 변화를 빨리 수용하지 못해 그 결과로 OPAC 사용에 있어 이용자들은 불편을 느끼고 있다. 이처럼 도서관 OPAC의 진보적인 개발이 시급한 실정에서 등장한 개념이 '차세대 OPAC'이다. 본 연구는 차세대 OPAC의 특성을 열거하여 핵심 항목으로 구성 된 체크리스트를 개발하고 향후 이를 이용하여 대학도서관에서의 차세대 OPAC 적용 현황을 평가 분석하는 도구로 사용하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서는 최종적인 연구의 초기단계로 차세대 OPAC에 관한 선행연구 분석을 통해 체크리스트 예비 항목을 작성하는 것으로 제한한다.

빠르게 진화하는 웹 검색엔진 및 기술은 도서관의 기존 OPAC 시스템에 대한 반성과 변화에 대한 요구를 가져왔다. 이렇게 등장한 '차세대 OPAC'의 개념을 사용하여 본 연구에서는 차세대 OPAC의 특징적인 기능 27개로 구성된 체크리스트를 개발하였고 우리나라 대학도서관의 차세대 OPAC 수용 정도를 파악하기 위한 도구로 사용하였다. 조사대상은 우리나라 4년제 일반대학교 도서관 191개관의 OPAC이었다. 본 논문에서는 우리나라 대학도서관별 차세대 OPAC의 수용 정도를 파악하고 이러한 혁신기술의 수용 요인을 모기관의 조직적 그리고 외부 요인 측면에서 살펴보고자 하였다. 기능 자체에 대한 요인 분석은 본 연구에서 제외되었다.

The purpose of this study is to provide an actual basic data and helps for arranging the next generation OPAC's interface and function through improving the existing OPAC's interface and improvement in the domestic library. In this study, factors to be importantly considered for improving the OPAC's interface and function were examined based on the preceding studies on OPAC concept & development process, user's library use style, user use style of OPAC, and recognition on library's crisis, and actual condition investigation result. Also, the case analysis on the existing OPAC's interface and function was focused on the search window, search item, search method, alignment function, search result display and search result feedback. Also, the search interface and search function of the next generation OPAC which is provided by the recently-developed domestic and foreign library utilization, and the detailed case were analyzed in the aspect of Library 2.0 service. Finally, the measures for improving the existing OPAC's interface and function in domestic library were suggested.

In the 21st knowledge society, libraries should consider OPAC redesign and functional performance improvement by using new web related technology. This paper studied and analyzed case studies of Web 2.0. Library 2.0, domestic and international web portals and libraries. Based on the research, this study implemented Open API and RSS reader and proposes its utilization plan as a next generation OPAC 2.0 service model which can improve OPAC search results and search service.

각종 시스템의 인터페이스에 대한 만족도와 문제 해결 방식은 개인의 다양한 내면적 속성이나 취향에 많은 영향을 받을 수 있기 때문에 이용자 친화형 차세대 OPAC 인터페이스 개발에 있어서 이용자 연구는 중요한 기초 토대가 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 과학적인 타당성과 신뢰성의 바탕위에 최근에는 이용자의 성격 유형 파악 도구로 학문적으로도 널리 사용되고 있는 에니어그램을 활용하여 에니어그램 성격 유형별 웹 기반 OPAC 검색에서의 성향과 만족도간의 차이를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 피실험자들에 대한 에니어그램 성격 유형 검사 및 몇 차례의 설문지와 실험을 통해 필요한 데이터들을 수집하였고 데이터 분석을 위해 PASW 18.0v를 사용하였다.

Search engines, web portal sites, online book stores are being the main stream of information network. Library and its catalog has not influenced as the way it had been to the information network any more. Thus, institutions leading the bibliographic network started to pay much attention to the web user service. This article firstly reviewed the development of the bibliographic network, next generation catalog interface and OPAC 2.0, and investigated the case of OCLC in detail. Based on the reviews, this study suggested the development plan of bibliographic network focusing on the web user service in terms of the three strategies. It is hoped that this article will be the basic study for the future of the bibliographic network and the reference for the changes and improvements of libraries and catalog services.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the functions and characteristics of search interfaces of Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System(KORCIS) and Korean History Online. The checklist of OPAC functionalities proposed by Breeding was used to examine eleven functions of these systems. Both system provide the following functions: Search by keywords; Boolean operators in queries; Order results chronologically; Modify search without re-keying the initial terms ; Search within result sets ; and Ability to limit results to an individual library or education. They do not provide such functions as Browse by author, title, subject and View and recall the search history for the current session. Adoption of standard OPAC and next-generation catalog functionalities, in-depth understanding of user needs and information seeking behaviors, and the improvement of subject access to these systems are suggested in this study.

Faceted navigation has brought a lot of changes to traditional library catalog and is one of the resource discovery interfaces in next-gen library catalog. Faceted navigation usually divides too much retrieved results into some relevant facets for user's convenient navigation. The faceted navigation of 9 libraries adopting resource discovery interfaces was analyzed in this article. The terms are much broader or different from the users' terms so that the users can't properly use the facets. It is essential to maintain consistency with using the terms to provide users with faceted navigation service and this study has found how exactly authority work was done in analysis of the author facets. Also, public libraries introducing faceted navigation need to consider including some facets for various users and university libraries need to consider detailed division of resource types.
