Abstract

Libraries have a responsibility to purchase information materials that will be helpful to many users within budget, it is very important to know what intention to purchase. This study is a preliminary study that explores and analyzes the factors influencing school library purchase intentions, focusing on the works of Nobel Prize-winning author Han Kang. To achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted with teacher librarians(librarians) to determine the effect on purchase intention through prior research consisting of categories or factors such as ‘library type’, ‘subjective knowledge’, ‘library possession’, and ‘purchase intention’. The results are as follows. First, 98.5% of teacher librarians(librarians) knew author Han Kang before she won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and 97.1% of school libraries already had her works. Nevertheless, 95.6% intend to purchase her works, and her most preferred work, ‘Human Acts’. Also, the most important factors when purchasing books at the school library were ‘whether the book is recommended(36%)’, ‘whether it is related to the curriculum(22.1%)’, ‘whether it is a bestseller(12.5%)’, ‘whether it is an award-winning work(10.9%)’, ‘Author’s reputation’(6.6%), and ‘User’s request for desired book’(5.9%).
