Abstract

Since 1988, the librarian standards prescribed in the "Enforcement Decree of the Library Act" have not been revised at all and they have many weaknesses and limitations. This study proposed revision of librarian standard and legislation based on legal and application issues. It is desirable to revise the structure of 1988 prospectively and to establish new standards for local representative library. In the case of basic personnel, it is desirable to have three librarians in all public libraries or considering the fact that the library's non-professional work is about 30-40%, it is also necessary to consider a plan consisting of two librarians (professional + para-professional) and one non-professional. The local representative library should apply the librarian standard of the public library serving a community of 300,000 people and establish a standard to add non-librarian equivalent to one-third of librarians. In the case of additional personnel, it is desirable for public libraries to increase one librarian whenever the service target population exceeds 10,000, and the local representative library to increase one librarian whenever the service target population exceeds 100,000. And each library needs to add a other full-time staff equivalent to one-third of the librarian.

1988년 이래로 "도서관법 시행령"의 사서배치기준은 전혀 개정되지 않아 많은 약점과 한계를 내포하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 법리적 및 적용상 쟁점을 바탕으로 공공도서관 사서배치기준의 개정 및 법제화 방안을 제시하였다. 1988년의 구조를 전향적으로 개편하되, 지역대표도서관 기준을 신설하는 것이 바람직하다. 기본인력의 경우, 모든 공공도서관에 사서 3명을 배치하거나, 약 30-40%에 달하는 비전문직 업무를 감안하여 '사서 2명(전문직+준전문직) + 기타 상근직 1명(비전문직)'으로 구성하는 방안을 고민해야 한다. 지역대표도서관은 인구 30만명인 공공도서관 사서기준을 기본인력으로 책정하고 그것의 1/3에 상당하는 비사서직을 추가하는 기준을 신설해야 한다. 증원인력의 경우, 공공도서관은 초과하는 인구 1만명당 사서 1명, 지역대표도서관은 초과하는 인구 10만명당 사서 1명을 증원하는 것이 바람직하다. 그리고 공립공공도서관 및 지역대표도서관은 사서의 1/3에 상당하는 기타 상근직원을 배치하는 기준을 추가할 필요가 있다.
