This study aims to identify and analyze the Twitter use of domestic public libraries. In order to identify the detailed patterns of Twitter use in library and information services, a content analysis was conducted for the 3,038 tweet data from the top 14 public libraries' accounts on Twitter use. Inductive approach was adopted to develop a coding scheme and open coding was conducted with the entire tweet. Additionally, correspondence analysis was conducted for the result of content analysis to identify how library accounts correspond to specific types. As a result, 3 main categories and 9 sub-categories of public libraries' Twitter use were developed. And the 37 detailed patterns of public libraries' use of Twitter were identified. The identified patterns can provide the libraries interested in Twitter use with guidelines.

Twitter users use 'Following', 'Retweet' and so on to find tweets that they are interested in. However, it is difficult for users to find tweets that are of interest to them on Twitter, which has more than 300 million users. In this paper, we developed a customized tweet recommendation system to resolve it. First, we gather current trends to collect tweets that are worth recommending to users and popular tweets that talk about trends. Later, to analyze users and recommend customized tweets, the users' tweets and the collected tweets are categorized. Finally, using Web service, we recommend tweets that match with user categorization and users whose interests match. Consequentially, we recommended 67.2% of proper tweet.

최근 SNS 사용자가 급증하면서 매우 다양하고 방대한 양의 글이 여러 종류의 SNS를 통해 생성되고 있다. 그중 트위터는 정보의 전달 및 확산에 상당히 유용한 도구로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 트위터의 사용자 트윗은 뉴스, 음악, 사진, 여행 등 다양한 형태로 등장한다. 또한 트위터는 해시태그라는 사용자 정의 태그를 사용하는데 이는 트윗의 키워드 및 핵심을 쉽게 표현할 수 있도록 해주는 효과적인 수단이다. 최근 상당히 많은 양의 트윗의 생성에도 불구하고 이를 다양한 카테고리별로 분류할 수 있는 연구가 많이 진행되지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해시태그를 이용해 트윗의 핵심을 파악하고 수많은 트윗을 다양한 토픽별로 분류할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 우선 다양한 카테고리의 인기 해시태그가 포함된 트윗을 수집하고 수집한 트윗에서 해시태그별 키워드를 추출한다. 그리고 코사인 유사도를 통해 해시태그별 내용 유사도를 파악하여 각 카테고리 내의 해시태그가 얼마나 유사한 내용을 지니고 있는지 파악한다. 마지막으로 사용자 트윗이 입력되면 모든 카테고리와 유사도를 비교하여 가장 유사도가 높은 카테고리를 찾아 추천해준다. 제안된 기법을 바탕으로 프로토타입을 구현하고 실험을 통해 성능을 평가한다.

Given the context that users are actively using social media with multimedia embedded information, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate how images are used within Twitter messages, especially in influential and favorited messages. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the top 200 influential and favorited messages with images were selected out of 1,589 tweets related to "Boston bombing" in April 2013. The characteristics of the message, image use, and user are analyzed and compared. Two phases of the analysis were conducted on three data sets containing the top 200 influential messages, top 200 favorited messages, and general messages. In the first phase, coding schemes have been developed for conducting three categorical analyses: (1) categorization of tweets, (2) categorization of image use, and (3) categorization of users. The three data sets were then coded using the coding schemes. In the second phase, comparison analyses were conducted among influential, favorited, and general tweets in terms of tweet type, image use, and user. While messages expressing opinion were found to be most favorited, the messages that shared information were recognized as most influential to users. On the other hand, as only four image uses - information dissemination, illustration, emotive/persuasive, and information processing - were found in this data set, the primary image use is likely to be data-driven rather than object-driven. From the perspective of users, the user types such as government, celebrity, and photo-sharing sites were found to be favorited and influential. An improved understanding of how users' image needs, in the context of social media, contribute to the body of knowledge of image needs. This study will also provide valuable insight into practical designs and implications of image retrieval systems or services.
