Abstract

This study investigates on emergent process of the library in Republic of Indonesia through historical review. Under the Dutch and Japanese colonial control for around 350 years, library played a role as information control center. After independence of Republic of Indonesia, library was built as a result of government literacy project, but it has not been settled down as a public information center. Therefore, as an alternative activity, community libraries have been constructed to give a books and programs with its local community users in a private sectors. This situation represents that it is urgent to discuss with all society sectors to improve library role as a lifelong learning center and give a way to have a cultural sprit the citizens. The study suggests several policy agendas to improve library's public role in Indonesia society.

이 연구는 인도네시아의 도서관 생성과정과 현황을 역사적인 고찰을 통해서 살펴보았다. 350여년의 서구와 일본의 식민통치 기간 동안 도서관은 정보를 통제하는 역할을 하였고, 독립 후에 국민의 문해 진흥을 위한 노력 중 하나로 도서관을 설립하였지만, 아직도 체계적으로 자리 잡고 있지 못한 상황이다. 그 대안적인 활동으로 자생적으로 생겨난 지역별 커뮤니티 도서관이 개인 및 민간단체 차원에서 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 현재 인도네시아 사회에서 도서관이 시민사회에서 평생교육 및 문화의 통로가 될 수 있는 실질적인 방안에 대한 논의가 시급한 실정임을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있도록 인도네시아 도서관의 공공성 증진을 위한 정책적 제안을 제시하였다.
