Abstract

This study is to propose the philosophical direction of public library services based on human rights. To accomplish this purpose, this study comparatively analyzed key concepts from 13 statements related to IFLA as well as UDHR with the inductive approach for qualitative data analysis. The result shows that the most important concepts of human right emphasized from IFLA statements are 1) UDHR Article 19: Freedom of opinion and expression, and Freedom of information access, 2) Article 2: No distinction of any kind, Article 12: Privacy, and Article 26: Education, 3) Article 18: Freedom of thoughts, conscience and religion, and Article 27: Cultural life. From this result, this study finally suggests that the concept of human rights should be added to the Korean Library Law.

본 연구의 목적은 인권을 기저로 한 공공 도서관 서비스의 철학적 방향을 제안하는 것이다. 이 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 이 글에서는 세계인권선언서와 국제도서관연맹의 인권과 관련된 13개의 선언서의 주요개념을 질적 데이터 분석방법으로 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과, 국제도서관연맹의 선언서에서 강조하고 있는 가장 중요한 인권개념은 1) 세계인권선언서 제 19조의 의견 및 표현의 자유, 그리고 정보접근의 자유, 2) 제 2조의 어떠한 이유로든 차별받지 않을 권리, 제 12조의 사생활보호의 권리, 그리고 제 26조의 교육 받을 권리, 3) 제 18조의 사상, 양심, 종교의 자유, 그리고 제 27조의 문화적 삶의 권리 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로, 우리나라 도서관법에 추가해야할 인권의 개념을 제안하였다.
