The U-library service is a user-oriented library service through which users, after browsing and making reservations using the Internet and smartphones, can borrow and return library materials at an unmanned circulation system located in places, such as subway stations, without visiting the library. However, the U-library service is still in the early stages both quantitatively and qualitatively. In that, this study, in order to enhance our understanding of the U-library service, conceptualizes the unmanned circulation system, investigates current situation by examining and analyzing some U-library service cases, and pinpoints some problems while making some suggestions for improvement.

1997년 1월 22일을 전후하여 전국의 주요 언론매체들은 정부의 ‘경쟁력 10% 이상 높이기’추진 방안을 일제히 보도하였다. 그에 의하면 정부 기능의 민간위탁 가능분야로 상하수도, 청사건물 경비.관리, 공공차량 운영 등과 함께 도서관경영을 예시하였다. 우리 도서관계에서는 이같은 정부의 느닷없는 발표를 보고 놀라움과 함께 비사한 관심을 갖게 되었다. 그러나 정부가 구상하고 있는 이른바 ‘도서관의 민간위탁’에 관하여 정부 구상의 내용은 아직 아무것도 밝혀진 것이 없고, 따라서 도서관을 민간에 위탁한다는 것은 도대체 무엇을 어떻게 한다는 뜻인지, 궁금증과 의구심맞 증폭되고 있는 형편이다. 다만, 일본의 도서관계가 이와 유사한 것을 경험한 것으로 보이는 자료들이 여럿 있다. 이에 ‘도서관문화’는 그 자료 가운데 하나인 ‘도서관의 자료와 해설’(도서관문제연구회 위탁문제연구회 편집, 도서관문제연구회 발행 1996)중에서 우선 두 건의 기사를 번역하여 이번 호에 싣는다. ‘도서관문화’는 앞으로도 관련 자료를 이 지면에 게재할 예정이다. 참고가 되기를 바란다. (이 기사의 번역 게재는 발행자의 동의를 얻었으며, 번역 작업에는 이번에도 국립중앙도서관 조재순 사서의 협력이 있었다.)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance and validity of the unified policy of the administrative system for the public library through the analysis and evaluation of the outcomes and plans about the policy on the first and second Comprehensive Library Advancement Plan. In addition, this study seeks to the strategies for the public library administrative system unification by reviewing the issue details of the unification strategies. The first Comprehensive Library Advancement Plan was found to be just proclamatory without concrete and practical results through its performance analysis. The policy tasks were evaluated to lack in feasibility and specificity in the second Comprehensive Library Advancement Plan which was performed on a group of library professionals. Policy decision to determine who would be responsible for the unification into the local government was found to be valid by the results of previous research findings, policy evaluation by experts and in-depth interview survey for field practitioners. Substantial and detailed action-oriented strategy rather than bluffing and macro policy is necessary for the unification of the library administrative system. It is because we have found there exist significant issues in terms of unified approach, structure of the organization, personnel transfer and grade adjustment, property transfer, etc. through the analysis.

The specialized textbook library provides resources for textbook publishers and textbook development professionals as well as others in related fields who are committed to the educational development of our country. The textbook library also supports research and education among the faculty and students. But, when examining the reality of the textbook specialized library, analysis concludes that it faces various problems such as state-supported operating budget shortfalls, weakness of public infrastructure, difficulty in collection of textbook-related data, and lack of inter-linked library systems. Thus, this study determined the development direction of the textbook specialized library through the process of literature analysis, case studies, and reflection of expert opinions. In this study, a long-term policy direction of the building and operating of textbook specialized libraries has been proposed as follows: organizing and operating a textbook specialized library, collecting and creating a list of textbook-related information resources, creating information strategy, and constructing specialized content for the textbook specialized library.
