초록

공공도서관의 이용 및 정보서비스의 질을 제고하는데 있어 이용자들의 사서에 대한 인식이 중요한 측면이 될 수 있으며, 따라서 이용자들의 사서에 대한 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 무엇인지에 대한 확인이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 공공도서관을 중심으로 이용자들의 사서에 대한 일반적인 인식 및 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 설문조사를 통해 실증적으로 확인하였다. 분석 결과, 도서관 소장자료와 설비의 이용, 도서관을 통한 동아리 활동 참여는 사서에 대한 긍정적인 인식 형성에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 사서의 역할은 정보적 활동에서 사회적 활동을 지원해 주는 방향으로 확대되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 공공도서관 프로그램 참여나 소장자료의 대출, 사서와의 커뮤니케이션 등 사서와의 직접적인 교류가 이루어지는 요인들이 사서에 대한 인식 형성에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않고 있으며, 따라서 사서의 이용자에 대한 고려가 보다 실제적으로 반영될 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Public library users' perception of librarians can be an important aspect in improving the public library uses and the quality of informn services. Thus it is necessary to identify what factors affect users' perceptions of librarians. This research empirically investigated users' general perceptions of librarians and the factors affecting them through a survey. As a result, it was found that the use of library collections, library facilities, and participation in club activities through the library affect the formation of a positive perception of librarians. In addition, the roles of the librarian are expanding from informational activities to supporting social activities. In contrast, the factors of direct interaction with the librarian, including participation in public library programs, circulating library collections, and communication with librarian, do not have a significant effect on the formation of the perception of librarian. Thus librarians need to consider library users more substantially and to support them in various ways.
