Abstract

This study describes the introduction, growth, current practices and future plans of research evaluation services performed in domestic academic libraries, with a view to informing other libraries considering similar endeavours. To that end, in-depth interviews were conducted with four librarians from academic libraries leading in research evaluation services. The contents of the interviews were grouped into five categories including growth, management, and services. The study found that their research evaluation services were launched around 2010 by demands of members of a university or as a library's initiative to expand the existing services for the purpose of enhancing the university's research competitiveness. The research evaluation services have been strengthened by extending the service scope and improving related systems. Also, the study suggests a comprehensive model that can guide the development and operation of research evaluation services.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 대학도서관에서 수행하고 있는 연구성과 서비스의 도입, 성장, 현재 운영 내용 및 향후 계획을 구체적으로 살펴봄으로써 향후 서비스 도입을 고려하는 도서관이 참고할 수 있도록 하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 연구성과 서비스를 선도적으로 제공하고 있는 4개의 대학도서관을 대상으로 서비스 담당자와의 심층면담을 수행하였다. 심층면담의 내용은 성장, 운영, 서비스를 포함하는 5개의 범주로 구성되었다. 연구 결과, 연구성과 서비스는 대학 연구경쟁력 강화를 지원하려는 목적으로 학내 구성원의 요구 또는 서비스 확대를 위한 도서관 내부의 기획으로 2010년 전후로 시작되었고, 시스템의 개선과 서비스 내용의 확대를 통하여 지속적으로 서비스가 강화되어온 것으로 나타났다. 또한 연구성과 서비스의 개발과 운영을 위해 참조할 수 있는 연구성과 서비스의 종합적인 모형을 제시하였다.
