Abstract

Research has taken priority of many activities in universities and it has eventually brought the heat on research support services of libraries to meet high expectation of university researchers. To identify the major content areas and service methods of research guides serviced through digital libraries of universities, this study investigated research guides of 60 university libraries in North America and Korea. As a result, 13 categories for research guide contents were identified and 5 crucial areas for the contents development were suggested. It also analyzed providing methods of online research guides and communicating methods between librarians and users. Librarians were identified as the prime human resource to develope and manage research guides, which will play an important role in expanding diversity of librarians' roles in the future.

대학에서 연구가 중요한 활동으로 주목을 받게 되면서 대학도서관에서도 연구지원 역할이 강조되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 북미 및 국내 60개 대학의 디지털도서관 홈페이지에서 온라인상으로 연구지원 가이드를 제공하는 현황을 조사하여 13개의 주요 내용유형을 분석하였고 이를 기반으로 하여 대학도서관이 연구지원 가이드 내용을 구성하는데 고려해야 할 5개의 주요 영역을 제시하였다. 또한 연구지원 가이드가 온라인상으로 제공되는 방식과 가이드를 통해 사서와 이용자가 소통하는 방식을 분석하였다. 연구지원 가이드를 제작, 제공하는 주체는 사서이며 대학도서관의 사서 역할은 향후 정보를 제공하는 역할에서 이용자를 위한 정보를 생산하는 역할로 확장될 것으로 예측된다.
