The purpose of this study is to analyze the user satisfaction, royalty and compliant of a children’s library Website. To achieve the aim of this study a modified Kim and Park’s model of the user satisfaction index which consists of information quality, service quality, and system quality dimension is adopted. A total of 130 valid responses to the questionnaire were analysed using SPSS 18. It is found that the higher the user satisfaction gives the higher the royalty and the lower the compliant. For the contents quality dimension, the items of Usability, Accuracy, Easy of understand, Reliability and Up-to-date; for the service quality dimension, the items of Interface design, Reliability, Responsiveness, and Empathy; for the system quality dimension, the items of Response time, Interactive, Easy to access, and Easy to use show a significant relationships to the users’ satisfaction.

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of information service failure severity within existing framework of service recovery justice research and analyse the effects of the attribution of service recoveries on recovered user satisfaction and revisit. For empirical analysis, A total of 452 valid questionnaires were used to analyse the data gathered from university students who experienced the information service failures of university library. Some findings of the research are as follows: First, service failure severity has negative effect on service recovery justice. Second, procedural and interactional recovery justice has positive effect on recovered user satisfaction. Third, service recovery justice has significant influence on procedural and interactional justice. Finally, recovered user satisfaction has positive effect on user revisit and mouth of word.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cultural and demographic factors (age and gender) on the perception of product information. The theoretical frameworks of interest in the current study are two cultural models: Hofstede’s individualism (IND) and Hall’s context. In examining the research questions, this research discovers that the cultural changes are occurring for the Korean young generation, even though Korean students are still within collectivistic culture. The correlation results suggest that the younger students have the higher individualism values compared to the older students. Using two multiple regression analyses (one set for high-context condition and one set for low-context condition), the study finds that cultural value and age significantly predicts the perception of product information in high-context (visual) condition. However, there is no significant difference in the perception of product information between male and female.
