| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊學院碩士在職專班數位圖書資訊組 === 97 === This thesis attempts to propose the user interface functionality for institutional repository(IR) systems in army. The proposed functions are drawn from related literature, those of several famous IR systems (DSpace, Eprints, Bepress etc.) and several foreign military IR systems.
All of the proposed functions can be divided into ten primary aspects, including (1) types of items stored in the system, (2) brief introduction and explanation of the system, (3) item browsing, (4) item searching, (5) search results, (6) value added services, (7) digital rights management (DRM), (8) personalized information management, (9) user feedback, and (10) system lists and statistics. These 10 aspects comprise 69 detailed functions in total.
In order to know the essentiality and importance of those functions, this thesis conducts a questionnaire and interview to find out the army officers’ opinions. A total of 403 questionnaire responses is collected, and these responses are analyzed via descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, and so on.
The following conclusions are drawn:
1、 According to the army officers’ opinions, among the 10 aspects with 69 detail functions in the user interface for IR systems in army, the analysis results show: 4 functions (μ>4.2) are ‘very important’, 61 functions (3.4<μ<4.2) are ‘important’, and 4 functions (2.6<μ<3.4) are ‘moderate important’. All 69 functions are above 3 points and the average value reaches 3.88 points, which shows that every user interface function proposed in this thesis is in accordance with the user requirements of IR systems in army.
2、 Among the 69 functions, 14 do not show significant differences in the nine background variables. On the other hand, other 55 are with one or more significant differences in the 9 background variables, including 9 in gender, 15 in current class, 15 in serving seniority, 14 in highest civil education level, 11 in highest military education level, 16 in current unit characteristic, 12 in current job position characteristic, 21 in the experience of using military network, and 21 in the frequency of using military network.
The thesis proposes three suggestions as the reference for future construction or revision of IR systems in army.
1. All the proposed 10 aspects with 69 detailed functions of the user interface can be built into the IR system.
2. The background variables with significant differences can be used as the references for designing the presentation of user interface functionality.
3. A E-learning system should be integrated into the IR system for improving the study efficiency of military officers.
Key words：institutional repository, user interface functionality, institutional repository systems in army.
