AB - This study aims to derive strategies for the sustainable operation of the Foreign Research Information Center (FRIC) by analyzing the perceptions of users and operational staff. Through a comprehensive analysis consisting of a status review, a user survey, and in-depth interviews with center managers, the study identifies differences in perceptions of FRIC services and derives key operational challenges. The findings indicate that although FRIC holds significant academic value as a core infrastructure supporting researchers’ scholarly activities, it faces various challenges to its long-term sustainability. Based on this analysis, the study proposes four major strategies to enhance FRIC’s sustainability: (1) redefining FRIC’s institutional identity and subject-domain framework; (2) improving the evaluation system; (3) strengthening the academic journal preservation system; and (4) enhancing user-centered service accessibility and optimizing the search and use environment. These strategies are expected to contribute to reinforcing FRIC’s role as a national-level infrastructure for the collaborative use and preservation of scholarly information and to establishing a solid foundation for its sustainable operation.
