Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of the military library services and the factors for promoting the reading of the soldiers and the activation of the use of the library by investigating the perception, use behavior and satisfaction of the library users, and the usefulness of 'JinJung' library collection. For this purpose, we surveyed the users of the Army, Navy, and Air Force military libraries. As a result of the survey, they responded that they were reading to acquire new knowledge and information and to cultivate the education. The favorite reading areas were general fiction, poetry, comic books, martial arts and fantasy novels. In order to encourage the soldiers to read in the military, diversity and quantitative expansion of collections are most needed, and soldiers said they most desire to expand the books on novels, poetry, admissions and employment preparation books. In addition, in order to increase the utilization rate of the military library and the interest in reading, it was necessary to increase the accessibility of the soldiers' library and books to the military, and to increase the library use time.

본 연구는 병영도서관 이용자의 인식 및 이용 행태, 만족도, 그리고 '진중문고'의 활용성 등을 조사함으로서 병영도서관 서비스의 현황과 장병들의 독서 증진 및 병영도서관 이용 활성화 방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 육군, 해군, 공군 병영도서관 이용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과, 장병들은 새로운 지식 및 정보를 얻고 교양을 쌓기 위하여 독서를 한다는 응답이 가장 높았으며, 선호하는 독서 분야는 일반소설, 시, 만화, 무협지 및 판타지 소설 등의 순으로 나타났다. 군부대 내에서 장병들의 독서를 장려하기 위해서는 병영도서관 장서의 다양함과 양적 확충이 가장 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 장병들은 소설, 시, 입시 및 취업 대비서 등에 대한 도서의 확충을 가장 희망하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 병영도서관의 이용률과 독서에 대한 관심을 높이기 위해서는 장병들의 병영도서관 및 도서에 대한 접근성 및 도서관 이용 시간 확대 방안 등의 필요성이 제기되었다.
