ABSTRACT

In this study, we tried to analyze the relative importance of features for various functions provided by Discovery. We identified a total of 36 assessment items in five categories including contents, search function, serendipity, interactivity, and ease of use based on literature review. In order to objectively evaluate the relative importance of each evaluation element, an AHP technique was adopted. As a result, ‘Easy of use’ received the highest weighted value among the five categories, followed by ‘contents’, ‘search function’, ‘interactivity’, and ‘serendipity’. In addition, among all the 36 assessment items, ‘Quality of data for central index’ had higher weighted value. These findings can be used as basic data to adopt a discovery tool for libraries.
