Abstract

This study aims to quantitatively assess collection and circulation data of one small library in an area where multicultural users are concentrated and draw policy implications on improving multicultural services for public libraries. The Ansan Multicultural Small Library was selected for examining the library's collection and circulation usages from 2016 to 2022. The numbers of collection and circulation, collection turnover rates and use factors were calculated by year, language, and KDC subject. The result of this study presents the empirical evidence drawn from users' circulation usage, which can be a basis for leading to valid collection development and multicultural service policies.

본 연구의 목적은 다문화 이용자 밀집지역에 있는 도서관의 장서와 대출데이터를 정량적으로 분석하여 이용자들의 소장장서에 대한 장서활용도를 살펴보고 이를 토대로 다문화 도서관을 위한 정책적 시사점을 제시하는데 있다. 안산다문화작은도서관을 대상으로 2016년부터 2022년까지 장서·대출 이용 데이터를 분석하였다. 연도별, 언어별, 주제별로 소장도서수, 대출수, 비중, 장서회전율과 이용계수를 산출하여 장서이용도를 파악하였다. 개별도서별 누적대출수를 기준으로 누적 합계를 산출하여 대출 분포와 장서이용율 추이를 살펴보았다. 다문화 장서의 평가와 장서활용도를 기반으로 증거 기반의 장서개발 지침에 활용할 근거를 제공하고 다문화 도서관을 위한 정책을 제안하였다.
