Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the academic librarians' perception of the current status and establishment of the development plans of domestic university libraries to suggest ways to increase usefulness of development plans. And this study sought ways to establish the academic library development plan that reflected the key components of the development plan. To this end, a survey was conducted on academic library librarians, and in-depth interviews were conducted with the persons in charge of the academic library development plan to supplement the limitations of survey. The results are as follows. First, the establishment of academic library development plans tend to be formal and passive, and has limitation in eliciting cooperation between external organizations and academic libraries. Second, most academic libraries do not disclose their development plans on their websites. Third, the awareness of the leaders of the academic library organization needs to be preceded, and a task force needs to be formed to establish development plan. As a result of the study, it is suggested that 'active changes in the perceptions and operation method within academic libraries', 'external disclosure of development plans and strengthening cooperation', and 'strengthening the initiative and role of librarians' are needed as improvement measures.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 대학도서관의 발전계획 현황과 수립에 관한 대학도서관 사서들의 인식을 조사하여 발전계획의 유용성을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 또한 본 연구는 발전계획의 핵심 구성요소를 반영하는 대학도서관 발전계획 수립 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 대학도서관 사서들을 대상으로 설문을 수행하고, 설문의 한계를 보완하기 위해 대학도서관 발전계획 담당자들과 심층인터뷰를 실시하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학도서관 발전계획 수립은 형식적이고 수동적인 면에 치우치고, 외부기관과 대학도서관의 협력을 이끌어내는 데 한계가 있다. 둘째, 대다수 대학도서관이 홈페이지에 발전계획을 공개하고 있지 않다. 셋째, 대학도서관 조직의 지도자들의 자각이 선행될 필요가 있고, 발전계획 수립을 위한 테스크포스 구성이 필요하다는 것이다. 연구결과, 개선방안으로 '대학도서관 내부의 인식과 운영방식의 적극적인 변화', '발전계획의 외부 공개 및 협력 강화', '사서의 주도성과 역할 강화'를 제안하였다.
