Abstract

We conducted a survey in collaboration with the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education to assess the current status of collections in public libraries affiliated with the Office of Education. The objective of this survey was to identify the current challenges and determine when these libraries are expected to reach a state of collection saturation. Libraries under the jurisdiction of the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education are currently facing significant challenges due to severe collection saturation. This underscores the pressing need for the systematic expansion and operation of a collaborative preservation library for a swift response. In the future, it appears that the focus during the transfer process will primarily be on transferring collection-oriented materials. Given the difficulty in providing preservation facilities at individual library levels, materials with preservation value, such as rare books and specialized resources, will need to be transferred to the collaborative preservation library. Additionally, the development of policies and regulations related to material preservation seems necessary. Furthermore, when transferring materials to the collaborative preservation library in the future, it appears that criteria for material transfer will be needed, particularly concerning issues such as a decrease in usage rates for less frequently accessed materials. Subsequent research should consider conducting a survey on the collection saturation status of public libraries under local governments in order to assess the overall need for collection expansion in all public libraries within Chungcheongbuk-do.

충청북도교육청 소속 공공도서관의 장서 소장 및 보존현황, 장서관리의 어려움, 장서 포화에 대한 예측에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 충청북도교육청 소속 공공도서관은 극심한 장서 포화로 인한 어려움을 겪고 있어 신속한 공동보존자료관의 체계적인 운영 증대 필요성을 절감하고 있었다. 향후 공동보존자료관으로 이관 시 도서 위주 자료 이관이 주를 이룰 것으로 보인다. 단위 도서관에 보존을 위한 시설을 갖추기 어려운 상황으로 희귀서, 특화자료 등 보존가치가 있는 자료는 공동보존자료관으로 이관이 필요하며, 자료보존 관련 정책 및 규정마련이 필요한 상황이며, 특히 공동보존자료관으로 자료 이관 시 단순한 이용률 저하 자료 등에 대한 이관 기준이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 향후 연구에서는 지자체 소속 공공도서관들의 장서 포화 상태도 조사함으로써 충청북도 전체 공공도서관 자료의 공동보존 방안 모색을 논의할 필요가 있을 것이다.
