| Abstract |
| The research aimed to analyze the user experience with ubiquitous library furniture, and accordingly, develop design guidelines & concept for the near-future furniture in ubiquitous environment. The research consisted of literature review and field study including observation and in-depth interview. The analysis was focused on RFID cabinet, bookshelf with stepladder, general carrel, laptop carrel, circular carrel, and service desk/book truck.
The finding showed that current ubiquitous library furniture was in the early ubiquitous environmental stage providing only communication service focusing on network, instant access to digital information, and convergence of computing system.
Therefore, for the successful near-future ubiquitous library furniture design, critical design guidelines were developed and suggested in the study as follows: intelligent system to automatically perceive diverse context and react supportively for communication, customized service design and flexible furniture layout for flexibility, reliable network environment and connection between relevant function for simultaneity, and privacy protection design for security. It is expected that the design guidelines would work as a key principles for near-future high-level and user-centered ubiquitous library furniture design. |
