Abstract

This study is a case study in which collection performance evaluation was attempted using key performance indicators presented by EBSM or collectionHQ, taking three public libraries located in Geumjeong-gu, Busan as examples. Focusing on the collection performance evaluation, which evaluates the performance of the collection, not only the evaluation of individual libraries, but also the differences in the evaluation results of libraries were reviewed. The key performance indicators used are grubby items, dead items, popular author provision, popular subject provision, overstocked subject areas and understocked subject areas. The main analysis results are as follows. First, in the evaluation of the grubby items, the ratio of grubby items out of all items in all three libraries was low. Second, in the case of all dead items, the ratio was high in all three libraries, It exceeded the base value suggested by collectionHQ. Third, the Top 10 popular authors were identified, and there were differences among libraries. Fourth, in the evaluation of provision of popular subject areas, all three libraries had almost no popular subject areas. Fifth, in the evaluation of overstocked subject areas, there was no overstock at Geumsaem Library, but many at Geumjeong Library and Seodong Library. Sixth, in the subject area evaluation of understocked inventory, only Geumsaem Library showed a lack of inventory.

이 연구는 부산광역시 금정구 소재 3개 공공도서관을 사례로 하여, EBSM과 collectionHQ에서 제시하는 핵심성과 지표를 적용하여 장서성과평가를 시도한 사례연구이다. 장서의 성과를 중심으로 평가하는 장서성과평가에 집중하며, 개별 도서관 평가뿐만 아니라 평가결과에 나타난 도서관별 차이를 검토하였다. 연구에서 선정한 핵심성과지표는 누더기 아이템, 사망 아이템, 인기저자 공급, 인기주제 공급, 과잉재고 주제분야와 재고부족 주제분야이다. 주요한 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 누더기 아이템 평가에서 3개 도서관 모두 전체 아이템에서 누더기 아이템의 비율이 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 사망 아이템의 경우, 3개 도서관 모두 높은 비율로 나타나, collectionHQ에서 제안한 기준값을 초과하였다. 셋째, 인기저자 상위 10명을 확인하였으며, 도서관마다 차이가 났다. 넷째, 인기주제 공급 평가에서는 3개 도서관 모두 기준값에 미치는 인기주제가 없는 것으로 나타나, 도서관별로 상위 10개의 인기주제를 식별하였다. 다섯째, 과잉재고 주제분야 평가에서는 금샘도서관은 과잉재고 주제분야가 하나도 없었지만, 금정도서관과 서동도서관에서는 다수의 주제분야가 과잉재고 상태인 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 재고부족 주제분야 평가에서는 금샘도서관에서만 재고부족 주제분야가 나타났다.
