Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the current status of university library operation through the five laws of library science and suggest ways to improve it. To this end, the operation status of four national and public university libraries was analyzed with the scope of the study as the Busan area. Furthermore, for an in-depth investigation, the P University library in Busan was examined as a case. The operation status of national and public university libraries in the Busan region was analyzed by dividing them into the categories of university library collection materials, facilities, staff, material purchase costs, and users from 2018 to 2022. In particular, there was a decrease in users and a shortage of librarians due to COVID-19. In the case study, the operation status of P University library was investigated focusing on the first and fifth laws of Ranganathan's five laws of library science. In the first law, the study was conducted on the aspects of access to and use of the collection, library location, usage time and book lending, and staff. In the fifth law, the investigation was divided into service improvement aspects according to changes in digital technology of P University library and library environment improvement aspects according to changes in user characteristics. As a result of the study, 'establishment of library space composition strategy', 'establishment of blue ocean strategy', and 'expansion of recruitment and deployment of librarians' were suggested as improvement plans.

이 연구의 목적은 도서관학 5법칙을 통하여 대학도서관 운영의 현황을 살펴보고 그 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 연구의 범위를 부산지역으로 하여 국·공립대학 도서관 4곳의 운영 현황을 분석하였고, 또한 심층조사를 위하여 부산의 P대학도서관을 사례로 살펴보았다. 부산지역 국·공립 대학도서관 운영 현황은 2018~2022년 동안의 대학도서관 소장 및 구독자료, 시설, 인력자원, 자료 구입비, 이용 및 이용자의 범주로 구분하여 분석하였다. 특히 코로나19로 인한 이용자 감소와 사서의 부족 문제가 나타났다. 사례연구에서는 랑가나단의 도서관학 5법칙 중 제1법칙과 제5법칙을 중심으로 P대학도서관 운영 현황을 조사하였다. 제1법칙에서는 장서에 대한 접근 방식 및 이용 활성화, 도서관 입지, 이용 시간 및 도서대출, 직원의 측면으로 구분하여 조사하였고, 제5법칙에서는 P대학도서관의 디지털 기술 변화에 따른 서비스 개선 측면과 이용자 특성 변화에 따른 도서관 환경 개선 측면으로 나누어 조사하였다. 연구의 결과, 개선방안으로 '도서관 공간구성 전략 수립', '블루오션 전략 수립', '사서의 채용과 배치 확대'를 제시하였다.
