Abstract

As our society enters an aged society, it is becoming increasingly important to resolve digital divide of older adults. However, the digital divide of the older adults are generally neglected compared to other information poor. The aim of this study is to propose considerations for library policy development in order to resolve the digital divide of the older adults. The study examined regulation of the Framework Act on National Informatization and the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Also it investigated guidelines and current status of services to older adults in the library. The study suggested that public libraries should be used as a basic base for the services to resolve the digital divide to older adults across the country, and the services should be organized systematically and sustainably through public libraries.

우리사회가 고령사회로 진입하면서 노인의 정보격차 해소는 점점 더 중요하지만, 현실적으로 다른 정보취약계층에 비해 소외되고 있다. 본 연구는 노인의 정보격차 해소를 위한 도서관 정책수립에 고려하여야 할 사항들을 제안하기위해 "국가정보기본법"과 과학기술정보통신부, 문화체육관광부, 보건복지부, 고용노동부의 소속직제를 통해 관련 규정을 살펴본 다음 도서관분야에서는 노인 서비스 지침과 현황을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 노인의 정보격차 해소를 위한 서비스는 전국의 공공도서관을 기본거점기관으로 활용하는 것이 바람직하며, 국가적 차원에서 노인의 정보격차 해소를 위한 서비스가 공공도서관을 통해 체계적이고 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다고 제안하였다.
