ABSTRACT

This study examines users’ search behaviors for Korean diaspora literary works and proposes strategies to improve access to these materials. The classification practices of the National Library of Korea were reviewed, the OPAC bibliographic structures of RISS and C University Library were compared, and a user survey was conducted at C University Library. The findings indicate the need for systematic relational bibliographic information between original works and their translations, along with enhanced linking functions through KORMARC related-record fields. National authority data should be used to ensure accurate author identification, and subject headings should incorporate not only existing bibliographic elements but also user-oriented topics that reflect actual search interests. Improving the visibility of link information, providing intuitive and visually oriented OPAC guidance, and strengthening online and offline book curation services are also essential for enhancing users’ search effectiveness.
