ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyze the research trends on the digital libraries in Korea. To achieve this objective, a total of 578 author-assigned English keywords were collected from the 272 major LIS journal articles published in Korea during last ten years-period, i.e., 2007-2016. The collected data were analyzed using NetMiner V.4 to discover their ‘degree centrality’ and ‘betweenness centrality’. As the results, ‘Academic Library’, ‘Reference Service’, ‘Public Library’, ‘E Resource’, and ‘E Book’ showed the most frequently conducted research topics, and ‘Academic Library’, ‘Reference Service’, ‘Information Behavior’, and ‘E Resource’ were the most influencing research topics. Finally, ‘Academic Library’, ‘Metadata’, ‘Information Behavior’, ‘E Resource’, and ‘Librarian’ seemed the most widely intervening research topics in this research.
