Abstract

This study conducted a survey on the current status and satisfaction of libraries participating in the opening hours support project in order to continue it to meet the purpose of improving information access and life welfare. To this end, a questionnaire and interview survey were conducted for those in charge of opening hours for each library, and the results are as follows. First, the opening hours support project is a project that needs a strategy that fits the characteristics of the region and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to consider operating independently rather than relying on national support in the future through the preparation of regional-oriented operation plans. Second, it is necessary to establish a flexible operating model for opening hours that both employees and users can understand. Third, it is necessary to prepare an organizational operation plan that requires both duties and responsibilities along with the rights equivalent to existing regular employees. Fourth, in order for national public libraries in Korea to develop and implement a consistent policy for specific policies and projects, it is necessary to unify the separate public library operating system in the future. Fifth, it is necessary to prepare education and guidelines for the continuity and stable operation of the project, and to activate services other than labor costs, such as support for improving the space for the user's pleasant use.

본 연구에서는 개관시간 연장지원 사업이 가진 정보 접근성 향상, 생활복지 구현 등의 목적에 맞는 지속적인 운영을 위해 개관시간 연장지원 사업에 참여하고 있는 도서관 현황 및 만족도 조사를 실시하였다. 이를 위해 도서관별 개관시간 연장지원 사업담당자를 대상으로 설문과 면담조사를 실시하였으며, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 개관시간 연장지원 사업은 지역의 특성과 환경에 맞는 전략이 필요한 사업으로써 지역 중심의 운영계획을 마련을 통해 향후 국가지원에 의존하기 보다는 독립적으로 운영하는 방안을 고려해야 한다. 둘째, 직원과 이용자 모두가 납득할 수 있는 유연한 개관시간 연장 운영 모델을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 셋째, 소기존 정규직에 준하는 권리와 함께 의무와 책임을 함께 요구하는 조직 운영 방안을 마련하는 것이 필요하다. 넷째, 우리나라 전국 공공도서관이 특정 정책 및 사업에 대해 일관된 정책을 마련하고 시행하기 위해서는 향후 분리되어 있는 공공도서관 운영체계를 일원화 할 필요성이 있다. 다섯째, 사업의 지속성과 안정적인 운영을 위한 교육 및 지침 마련이 필요하고, 이용자의 쾌적한 이용을 위한 공간 개선 지원 등 인건비 외의 서비스 활성화를 위한 지원이 필요하다.
