‘도서관탐방’팀은 가급적 모든 관종의 도서관을 골고루 소개하려고 한다. 그런데 지난 1월 이 지면이 신설된 이후 아직 가보지 못한 관종이 특수도서관이었다. 병영도서관 또는 점자도서관은 언론 등에서도 자주 다루어지고 있어 우선 순위를 교도소도서관 또는 환자도서관에 두었는데 알고 보니 교도소도서관은 여러 여건상 일반인이 접근하기 어려웠다. 관종 구분을 하는 경우 병원(의학)도서관은 전문도서관으로 분류된다. 하지만 병원 입원 환자들에게도 일부 서비스를 제공하고 있는 경우에는 특수도서관의 목적을 조금이나마 수행하고 있는 곳이라 할 수 있다. 전문이용자용 ‘맞춤형 교육’ 제공에서 환자용 ‘병실이동문고’ 운영에 이르기까지 병원 모든 가족들의 정보 ‧ 문화 ‧ 복지의 종합센터 역할을 책임지고 있는 삼성의학정보센터를 이번에 다녀왔다.

This study attempted to analyze the collection management process and its requirements for public libraries. The survey was designed to examine the detailed collection management guidelines and to grasp its requirements varying across different types of public libraries. The respondents to the survey were librarians who are responsible for managing collections in public libraries which achieved excellence in the 2008 nationwide library management assessment. The study results indicated that most public libraries do not have organized collection management guidelines covering the whole collection management area. In addition, small libraries such as those in hospitals, armies, and prisons have difficulties in managing collections since they do not have proper collection management guidelines.

The contents of the service operation of the external correctional facility library were explored and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, where correctional facility libraries are relatively well operated, are practically operating social rehabilitation programs while reducing recidivism of inmates, and library associations or local governments in each country are promoting the vitalization of correctional facility libraries. It helps and organizes committees or organizations involving related experts to discuss policy support, issue checks, research, report publication, drafting and revising guide guidelines, cooperation between libraries, and reflect them in actual operation. In addition, it maintains steady support and interest through public-private cooperation, and makes good use of the linkage system with local public libraries. As a result, it contributes to reducing the recidivism of prisoners. Through this study, the following three areas were suggested for the administrative improvement direction for correctional facility library services. First, the production and distribution of guidelines or guidebooks for correctional facility libraries, second, the establishment of a specialized correctional facility library organization within the correctional headquarters or library association, and third, the strengthening of activities and the operation of law libraries in correctional facilities.
