Abstract

This study investigated research data-related services offered by North American university libraries, focusing on service names, hierarchical relationships, job titles of service managers, and job descriptions. The study analyzed the homepages of 50 university libraries and found a clear hierarchical relationship between research data-related service names, indicating a clear structure for these services. The title of 'librarian' was most commonly used for the position in charge of research data-related services, and the job content of this position was found to be quite wide. Other job titles such as 'specialist' and 'analyst' were also used for experts in various research data-related fields. The existence of these job titles was seen as a way for university libraries to strengthen the expertise of their research data-related services. Based on the findings, the authors propose a service composition system for research data-related services in domestic university libraries. This system includes 'research data service' as the highest-level service name, with 'research data management service', 'GIS service', and 'data visualization service' as sub-service names. The authors also suggest that research data-related services should be provided through collaboration between existing university librarians in the early stages of service provision, and that new recruitment of research data-related professionals could be considered gradually.

본 연구는 북미 지역 50개 대학도서관 홈페이지를 대상으로 연구데이터 관련 서비스명과 서비스명 간의 계층 관계, 연구데이터 서비스 담당자의 직책명과 직무내용을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 북미 지역 대학도서관의 경우 연구데이터 관련 서비스명 간에는 분명한 계층 관계가 존재하였고 이를 통해 연구데이터 관련 서비스명들의 계층 구조를 파악할 수 있었다. 연구데이터 관련 서비스 담당자의 직책명으로는 'Librarian'이 가장 많이 사용되고 있었고 'Librarian'이 담당하는 직무내용이 가장 폭넓은 것으로 나타났다. 'Librarian' 외에 'Specialist', 'Analyst' 등의 다양한 연구데이터 관련 전문인력의 직책명이 사용되고 있음이 발견되었다. 다양한 직책명의 존재는 대학도서관이 연구데이터 관련 서비스의 전문성을 강화하려는 의도로 파악되었다. 국내 대학도서관의 연구데이터 서비스 구성체계는 '연구데이터 서비스'를 최상위 서비스명으로 하고 '연구데이터 관리 서비스', 'GIS 서비스', '데이터 시각화 서비스'를 하위 서비스명으로 할 것을 제안하였다. 그리고 연구데이터 관련 서비스를 제공하는 초기에는 기존 대학도서관 사서 간에 업무조정을 통해 연구데이터 관련 서비스를 제공하는 것이 필요하며 점진적으로 연구데이터 관련 전문 인력의 신규 채용을 고려할 수 있음을 제안하였다.
