Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the culture of an academic library, fictitiously titled the New Millennium Library(NML). The study employed various research methods: pilot interviews with academic library workers, field observation at NML, a value survey conducted among NML workers and structured interviews with selected volunteers fromthe pool of survey respondents. Information gathered on the NML's culture is presented in a chart of five cultural dimensions and three organizational layers. The study is expected to inform library culture research as well as organizational culture research through a utilization of mixed methodology.

이 연구는 한 미국의 대학도서관을 사례로 그 조직문화를 연구한 내용을 연구방법론을 중심으로 보고한 것이다. 우선 조직문화의 개념과 도서관 조직문화연구의 필요성, 그리고 연구주제로서의 조직문화에 대한 고찰을 서론에서 다루었다. 연구질문과 연구설계의 세부사항은 각 단계별로 기술하였다. 사례도서관 조직문화의 대표적인 특질인 대결기피적인 문화가 이 조직의 운영의 여러 측면을 채색하는 방식을 보고하였다. 조직문화의 연구는 도서관 경영 개선의 의미 이외에도 도서관과 정보전문직의 정체성 연구에 중요한 단서를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
