The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between users' preferences of personality types and their attitude towards patterns of Web OPAC use mainly focus on their search behaviour and their preferences for the interface. Data was collected through the MBTI test and self-designed online questionnaire. The original MBTI personality types were re-coded into 4 categories of preferences of personality types, that is, E(Extraversion)- I(Introversion), S(Sensing)-N(iNtuition), T(Thinking)-F(Feeling), and J(Judging)-P(Perception) and then analysed their correlation with patterns of Web OPAC use by Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) in SPSS Windows Ver. 11.0. It is noteworthy that 9 out of 28 factors of Web OPAC search behaviour and preferences for interfaces show statistically significant correlations with users' MBTI preferences of personality types.

As the number of university libraries which adopt subject divisional plan in Korea is increasing, lots of problems are coming out, which results from a lack of close examination and analysis before adopting, and the lack of continuous checking and evaluation after adopting. Therefore, this article will do the following. First, study the example of the U.S. university libraries which have a longer history of subject division adoption than Korea. It covers going through the situation at the moment of adopting, the phase of development and decline. Second, analyse the differences between the libraries in U.S. and Korea on the basis of first study. Finally, study the resonable adoption method considering the changing circumstances around libraries and forecast the future movement in adopting the subject division plan in the university libraries in Korea.
