다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to identify the degree to which the card catalog in a university serves its users and to provide useful information for the design of conversion from card catalog to online catalog. From August 19th to September 16th 1995, 278 users of Duksung Women's University Library were randomley selected and surveyed in terms of card catalog use, success rate of card searching, and catalog use training received. Major findings are as follows; 1. Taking into considerations the fact that Library users tended to use more heavily oriental card catalog(61.8%) than western card catalog(8.3%) or classification card catalog(26.3%), oriental card catalog should be designed to improve its search function of the catalog. 2. It was found that the university library card catalog was not easy to use by 49.3% of the users of Duksung University Library. 3. One of main reasons why the card catalog is hard to use is that there is no subject card to which users can access for subject searching. Besides, users have difficulties in locating appropriate classification numbers for subjects which users are interested in. 4. When success rate is defined as finding appropriate cards in catalog boxes, the success rate was reported to be 87.0%. 5. The major access points of known items which library users utilized mostly were author(18.3%) and title(74.5%). 6. In case of translated versions of foreign materials, original author name cards instead of pronounced original name card written in Korean were given to them as access points. 79.9% of library users of Duksung Women's University insisted that both original and pronounced author name written in Korean should be given as access points to foreign authors for the sake of user's convenience. 7. Formal training programs for card catalog use were found not to be sufficient. Small group informal training courses should be offered to users who need to get information for catalog use by library staffs. 8. Considering the trend orders of access points have been changed from title, author and subject in card catalog to title, keyword, and author in online catalog, the existing card catalog of Duksung Women's University is expected not to meet future users' needs for subject searching unless the functions of subject searching of catalog is improved
