Abstract

Libraries are public institutions in charge of information distribution. Libraries need to secure sustainability in providing services so that they can contribute to social integration even in disaster situations. The recent spread of the Corona 19 virus has negatively affected the operation of libraries and libraries have suspended services and users' visits to prevent possible infections. This study intends to examine responses of domestic and foreign libraries to the unexpected disasters, and also presents measures to ensure sustainability and considerations in establishing these measures.

도서관은 정보유통을 담당하는 사회적 공기이다. 도서관은 재난상황에서도 사회 통합에 기여할 수 있도록 서비스 제공의 지속가능성을 확보할 필요가 있다. 최근 발생한 코로나 19 바이러스의 확산에 따라 감염을 예방하기 위해 도서관을 폐쇄하고 이용자의 방문을 중단시킨 바 있다. 본고는 예상치 못한 재난 상황에서의 국내외 도서관계의 대응을 살펴보고 지속가능성을 확보할 수 있는 서비스 방안과 방안 수립시의 고려해야할 기본원칙을 제시하였다.
