Abstract

This study searched for the status of medical Systematic Review(SR) publications in Korea and elsewhere for last 10 years, closely analyzing SR research papers by co-authors of Korean librarians. Through interviews with Korean librarians participating in SR, the activities, roles, and difficulties of these librarians were identified, and the results of the interviews helped explore new ways to promote collaboration in SR research. The result of the studied showed that the number of domestic and foreign SR studies has recently increased, and the number of cases where Korean librarians participated in SR research being officially credited as a co-author or acknowledgment source was also grow. The SR librarians in the Korean medical libraries were not only search experts, data collectors, and reference writers, but also did various activities such as designing search strategies, SR search records with complete reproducibility, and DB search tutorship. To promote SR support librarians participated in the interview suggested recruiting new librarians, retraining current librarians, and reformation courses in library and information science. As it is expected that the level of information demand of users and expectations for librarians would also increase in near future, SR librarians' activities and contributions seem to offer a guideline for academic library services that the others should pursue.

이 연구는 최근 10년간 국내외 의학 Systematic Review(SR) 연구 현황을 살피고, 국내 사서가 공저자로 참여한 SR 연구논문을 면밀하게 분석하였다. SR 참여 사서와의 인터뷰를 통해 참여 사서의 활동, 역할, 애로사항을 파악하였고, SR 연구 참여 활성화 방안도 모색하였다. 연구결과 국내외 SR 연구건수는 최근 증가세이고, SR 연구에 참여한 사서를 공저자로 등재하거나 사사표기함으로써 사서의 기여를 공식적으로 인정한 사례도 더불어 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 국내 의학도서관의 SR 참여 사서는 탐색 전문가, 자료 수집가, 참고문헌 작성자, 뿐만 아니라 탐색전략 설계, 완전한 SR 탐색 기록, 일대일 DB탐색 교육 등 다양한 활동을 하고 있었다. 인터뷰 참여 사서는 SR 참여 활성화 정책으로 사서 인력 충원, 재교육, 문헌정보학 교과목 개편 등을 제시하였다. 날이 갈수록 이용자의 정보요구 수준은 높아지고, 사서에 대한 기대 또한 커지고 있음을 감안할 때, 의학도서관 SR 참여 사서의 활동과 기여는 사서의 서비스를 심화하고 확장하려는 타도서관에게도 좋은 가이드라인이 될 것으로 판단된다.
