Abstract
According to the library act, the regional central library is not only a public library but also a library representing the metropolitan municipalities in Korea. But the status and role of current representative libraries are so weak that they are nothing more than large public libraries. Focusing on realistic vulnerability, this study analyzed the major weaknesses and limitations of regional central libraries and suggested ways to normalize legal positions and operations in terms of revising and supplementing the library act, restructuring and strengthening the tasks to be performed, and expanding the manpower and operating organization directly connected with core competencies.
