Abstract

This paper evaluated the collection development of the Korean collection at the A university over the several decade. Compared against the ACRL standard Formula A, the result demonstrated that the Korean library collection is still needed to increase Korean collection to support Korean-related program and Korean community in the area. When we share western language materials in the library as the same area studies resources, we can evaluate Korean studies collection as Level B. Comparison with similar institutions (ARL comparisons) shows that the collection is the middle among 15 universities which provide Korean programs. The situation for Korean resources at the A university is needed to get more support from Korean institutes and Korean societies to keep up with the Korean collection for academics and regional community users as well.

본 논문은 북미 대학에서 한국학 장서 구축의 역사가 오래된 대학을 대상으로 그동안 구축된 한국학장서의 현황 규모에 대한 적정성을 현장을 중심으로 객관적으로 조사 분석한 것이다. 장서와 이용자 그룹에 근거하여 ACRL 표준공식을 적용하여 분석하였고, ARL 중앙값을 산출하여 비교하였다. ACRL 기준에 따른 평가결과, 이 대학의 한국학 장서는 B 등급으로 평가되었고, ARL 비교치 결과에서도 비교 대상교 15개 중에서 중간정도에 그치는 것으로 나타나서, 한국학 장서의 꾸준한 증가를 통해 한국학교육과정 지원을 보다 충실히 해야 한다는 결론을 도출하게 되었다.
