AB - This study aims to compare the results of correlation analysis between resource acquisition, resource usage, and faculty research performance of Seoul National University and national universities, and to suggest development strategy in national university libraries. The budget for electronic resource has similarly increased in both groups, but the number of commercial DBs uses have only increased in national universities. SCI/SCOPUS publication output has only increased in national universities, and top 1% most-cited publication output has showed a upward trend in national universities than in Seoul National University. The number of commercial DBs uses of national universities have showed a significant positive correlation between the budget for electronic resource and the number of electronic service uses, and the SCI/SCOPUS publication output has showed a significant positive correlation between international publication output and the top 1% most-cited publication. The study recommends that national universities enhance their libraries support by adopting electronic resources and international publication output-based allocation strategies and funding government budget, introducing electronic resource mutual subscriptions and constructing of linkage system with overseas universities or academic information centers, constructing resource division collection and sharing system, introducing data-based research support services.
