Most web portals provide a web directory service which selects and classifies web sites according to their subject matter. In order to investigate the directory access behavior of general Korean web users, this study analyzes directory access logs of NAVER, a major Korean web search engine. This study suggests a methodology to classify the total sessions into six different session types. This study also discusses directory access behaviors of the NAVER users by examining the distribution of sessions according to session types, the lengths of navigation within a session, and the most frequently visited categories. It is expected that this study could contribute to the development of more effective web directory services.

Abstract The Internet has rapidly become a global publishing platform, and electronic scholarly journals covering a wide range of subject areas are now available via WWW. The purpose of this study is to investigate the production and delivery of electronic scholarly journals between national information circulation institutions, the degree of overlap in services between these institutions, and the degree of differences in terms of the amount of electronic scholarly journals between subjects in science and technology(S&T) areas. For the study, Registered and Register-Candidate scholarly journals designated by Korea Research Foundation in S&T areas are used. This study also provided some considerations for the services of domestic electronic scholarly journals between national information circulation institutions.
