본 연구의 목적은 도서관 현직 사서들의 전문성을 성장 발전시킬 수 있는 체계적이고 효율적인 계속교육 방안을 모색하는데 있다. 이를 위해 설문지를 통하여 현직사서의 직력, 계속교육에 대한 경험, 현황, 의견, 요구, 제언 등을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 계속교육의 참여도는 전체적으로 부진하며 도서관 유형과 직무에 따라 차이가 있다. 둘째, 계속교육 주관처의 평가는 부진하였고 유용성은 대체로 긍정적이었다. 셋째, 계속교육을 위한 개인적인 노력은 부족하며 도서관의 유형에 따라 차이가 있다. 넷째, 비정규 계속교육은 컴퓨터와 관련된 주제로 근무시간과 방학을 이용하여 실시하기를 원하고 있다. 끝으로 계속교육 발전을 위해서 전담기구의 설치, 주관부처별 평가제도의 확립, 특성화한 프로그램의 운영, 교육과 연구에 대한 성과급 제도의 도입, 해외연수의 적극적인 주진$\cdot$새로운 계속교육 방식의 도입, 정규 계속교육의 확대 등을 제언한다.
