Abstract

Book recommendations in libraries can be used as a tool to help users with vague needs browse and select books. Therefore, libraries spend a lot of time and effort to introduce various materials to their users and recommend suitable books. Meanwhile, various organizations other than libraries also publish recommended reading lists, and these lists reflect the intentions of the entity that selects the recommended books. The purpose of this study is finding out how the recommended book lists of libraries differ from the recommended reading lists of non-library organizations. To achieve this, the study limited the scope to 'teenagers', who are the main target audience for book recommendations in many organizations, and compared the recommended book lists of libraries and non-library organizations in terms of (1) the selection criteria for recommended books, (2) the characteristics of recommended books, and (3) the way of providing recommended book lists. Through this analysis, the study identified the characteristics and limitations of library recommended book lists and discussed areas for improvement.

도서관의 도서 추천은 막연한 요구를 가진 이용자들의 도서 탐색 및 선택을 지원하기 위한 하나의 도구로 활용될 수 있다. 이에 도서관은 이용자들에게 다양한 자료를 소개하고 적합한 도서를 추천하기 위해 많은 시간과 노력을 기울이고 있다. 한편 도서관 이외의 다양한 기관에서도 추천도서 목록을 발간하고 있으며, 이러한 목록에는 추천도서를 선정하는 주체의 의도가 반영된다. 이에 이 연구에서는 도서관의 추천도서 목록이 도서관 이외 기관에서 발간하는 추천도서 목록과 어떤 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 그리하여 많은 기관에서 도서 추천의 주요 타겟층으로 삼는 '청소년'으로 범위를 한정하여 ① 추천도서의 선정 기준, ② 추천된 도서의 특징, ③ 추천도서 목록의 제공방식의 측면에서 도서관과 도서관 이외 기관의 추천도서 목록을 상호 비교하였다. 이를 통해 도서관 추천도서 목록이 갖는 특징과 한계를 도출하고, 개선이 필요한 부면에 대해 논의하였다.
