Abstract

In order to appreciate the varied activities of university libraries, this study assesses their efficiencies in the process of production and utilization of their services for two consecutive years, 1999 and 2000. Using a Data Envelopment Analysis with exogenously fixed factors, this study analyses separately efficiencies identified. The results show that efficiencies of libraries appear differently according to the year of evaluation, the dimension of evaluation as well as the difference of statute. The specialized libraries as CADIST are definitely higher in terms of use of services. In addition, inefficiency is mainly due to deficits of production of outputs rather than excesses of utilisation of inputs. For example, time devoted to user's training constitutes the most significant potentiality of increase in the production of services.

본 연구의 목적은 대학도서관의 다양한 활동을 평가하기 위하여 정보서비스의 생산 및 이용의 과정 속에서 2년(1999-2000) 동안의 효율성을 평가하고자 하였다. 효율성 평가에 있어서는 자료포락분석(Data Envelopment Analysis)기법을 사용하였으며, 프랑스의 대학도서관이 가진 환경적 요소는 외생변수로 고려되었다. 실증분석은 서비스의 생산과 이용의 두 측면에서 독립적으로 실시하였으며, 도서관의 효율성 정도는 평가 년도에 따라, 평가 영역에 따라 그리고 도서관의 특성에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 특히, 주제화된 도서관이라 할 수 있는 CADSIT 대학도서관이 일반대학도서관에 비해 서비스의 이용측면에서 보다 효율적으로 나타났다. 그리고 비효율적인 도서관의 비효율성은 투입량의 비효율적 사용보다는 산출량의 생산 부족에서 비롯된 것으로 나타났다.
