Abstract

This study is to demonstrate that public libraries help community to become an active 'Community of Practice(CoP)'. In order to prove this hypothesis, 'Libraries Transforming Communities(LTC)' initiative of American Library Association is analyzed. Public libraries participating in LTC program solved problems of communities through making CoPs by librarians as a catalyst. People's recognition about public libraries is altered by the problem-solving practice. The followings are 4-level transforming relationship model of public library and community: Leadership Development for Librarian CoPs; Librarian CoPs for improving library services; Community CoPs with library for solving problems; Community as CoP.

이 연구는 공공도서관이 지역사회를 실행공동체로 변화시키는데 기여함을 밝히고자 했다. 이를 위해 미국도서관협회의 '지역사회를 변화시키는 도서관(LTC)' 사례를 분석하였다. LTC 프로그램에 참여한 공공도서관들은 사서들이 매개자가 되어 실행공동체를 형성하여 지역사회의 문제를 해결하였다. 이러한 실천을 바탕으로 공공도서관은 도서관에 대한 사람들의 인식도 변화시켰다. 따라서 이 사례들을 통해 공공도서관과 지역사회의 관계가 변화하는 모습을 4단계로 모델링하였고,그 단계는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도서관 조직 내 구성원의 역량 강화, 둘째, 도서관 서비스 개선을 위한 사서들의 실행공동체, 셋째, 지역사회 문제의 해결을 위해 협업하는 사서와 지역주민 실행공동체, 넷째, 실행공동체로서의 지역사회이다.
