Abstract

This study focused on the domestic hospital libraries, the policies and support projects for them, and the current operation status of them. To this end, a list of hospital libraries was established and the operation status was investigated by conducting telephone interviews with 73 libraries collected. As a result, it was found that hospital libraries were established through support projects of other institutions (foundations, enterprises, etc.) rather than by the parent institutions, most of which were barely maintained except for certain actively operated ones. In terms of space, hospital libraries equipped with independent space were mostly operated on a small scale, and bookshelves were deployed in space for other purposes such as lounge and hallway. In terms of operation, a dedicated department or personnel for the library operation hardly existed, and more than half of them did not purchase additional books, simply maintaining the donated books at the time of the establishment. It was also shown that for services and programs, only booklending services are provided, except for a few libraries. Therefore, national policies and support will be needed to revitalize hospital libraries in the future, and the government needs to seek ways to continuously operate them through links with local representative libraries and public libraries.

본 연구는 국내 병원도서관에 초점을 맞추어 이와 관련한 국내 병원도서관의 정책 및 병원도서관 지원사업을 면밀히 조사하고, 국내 병원도서관의 현 운영실태를 파악하고자 하였다. 이에 병원도서관 리스트 구축을 통해 수집된 73개의 도서관을 대상으로 전화면담을 실시하여 운영실태를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 현재 병원도서관은 모기관에 의해 설립되기 보다는 타 기관(재단, 기업 등)의 지원사업을 통해 다수 설립되고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 그 중 활발하게 운영되는 특정 도서관을 제외하고는 모두 유지만 하고 있는 실정이었다. 공간의 경우, 단독공간을 갖춘 도서관은 대부분 소규모로 운영되고 있었으며, 타 목적 공간 내 서가 배치 및 개방형 휴게실, 복도 벽면 등에 서가를 배치하여 운영하고 있었다. 운영과 관련하여 도서관 운영을 위한 전담 부서 및 담당 인력이 없는 곳이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 장서의 경우 설립 당시 지원 받은 도서를 유지할 뿐 추가로 구입하지 않고 있는 곳이 과반수 이상으로 나타났다. 또한 서비스 및 프로그램의 경우, 특정 도서관을 제외하고는 대출서비스만 제공하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 향후 병원도서관 활성화를 위해서는 국가적차원에서의 정책 및 지원이 이루어져야 할 것으로 보이며, 병원도서관이 지속적으로 운영되기 위해서는 모기관과의 연계와 더불어 지역 대표도서관 및 공공도서관과의 연계를 통한 운영방안도 모색할 필요가 있다.
