도서관정책을 총괄하고 있는 문화관광부는 2월 5일 「도서관 발전 종합계획」수립계획(안)을 발표하고 금년 상반기 중 관계부처와의 협의를 거쳐 동 계획을 확정할 예정이라고 밝혔다. 이러한 계획이 수립되면 도서관 육성과 진흥에 대한 도서관계, 시민단체, 언론 등의 여망을 기반으로 각 부문에서 산발적으로 추진되어 온 도서관 진흥 정책을 종합하여 관계부처간 협력을 통해 효과적으로 추진해 나가는 계기가 될 것으로 기대된다. 그 동안 문화관광부는 1991년부터 지난해까지 도서관 건립지원에 769억원, 공공도서관의 콘텐츠 확충에 228억원(1995~2001)을 투입하는 등 도서관 육성 및 진흥을 위해 지속적으로 지원해 왔으며, 그 결과 1991년 267관이던 공공도서관이 2001년에 485관(건립중 포함)으로 2배 가까이 증가하였다. 이처럼 절대 부족한 도서관의 확충과 함께 지식정보화시대 도서관을 지식정보유통의 핵심기관으로 확성화시키고자 2000년부터 관계부처와의 역할 분담을 통해 공공 및 학교도서관 정보화기반 조성 및 도서관 소장자료의 디지털화(콘텐츠 확충) 등 '도서관정보화 종합계획'을 추진하고 있다. 계획수립은 한국문화정책개발원이 주도하여 도서관계 전문인사와 공동연구로 추진하고 자문위원단을 구성하여 계획의 기본방향 및 내용에 대한 각계의 의견을 수렴하게 되며, 문화관광부, 국립중앙도서관, 한국도서관협회 등이 지원기관으로 참여하여 정부정책으로 연계되어 그 활용성을 높이는데 주력할 계획이다. 이번 계획에서는 기본적으로 국립중앙도서관 및 공공도서관의 발전방안을 중심으로 학교 및 대학 도서관 부분에 대해서는 관계부처간 효과적인 정책협의체계 구축을 통한 정책적 지원부분에 초점을 두고 정보화 시대에 부응하는 도서관의 역할과 기능 재정립, 도서관 관종 간의 협력 프로그램 개발을 통한 도서관 운영활성화 등 도서관의 조직ㆍ기능ㆍ인력ㆍ프로그램 등의 측면에서 현황분석을 통한 문제점 도출과 개선방안을 마련, 궁극적으로는 도서관및독서진흥법 개정 등 도서관발전의 법ㆍ제도적 지원 토대를 마련할 방침이다. 한편 도서관정보화 부문에 대해서는 2003년부터 2단계 도서관정보화사업 추진을 위해 관계부처와 협력하여 현재 민간 컨설팅업체를 통해 추진중인「도서관 정보화전략계획(ISP)」을 종합계획에 반영할 계획이다. 또한 교육인적자원부를 중심으로 정부 6개 부처가 '학교도서관 활성화대책 기획단'을 구성하고 학교 및 대학도서관 발전 계획을 수립 중에 있다. 그리고 대통령자문 교육인적자원정책위원회에서 4월 3일 '도서관 정보인프라 활성화 방안'을 대통령에게 보고한 바 있다. 우리 「도서관문화」에서는 도서관 및 관련 부문의 각계 인사들에게 정부 「도서관 발전 종합계획」등 계획 수립에 바라는 바를 알아보았다.

Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. This study clarified if there is Pareto principle in Korean universities' academic information resource sharing network and calculates the Gini efficient about inequality in sharing academic resources. As a result, top 20% libraries led 80% of performance and inequality degree showed 0.8 as very serious condition. Relative Gini efficient which is recalculated considering scale of each libraries stay 0.7 that is adjusted slightly down. It means that such phenomenon is not caused by the difference of each universities scale with high contribution of big university and low contribution of small university. And in comparison of inequality between university's types, inequality between community colleges and private universities is more serious than four-year-course college and national university respectfully. Finally, as a result of visualizing the distribution of participating libraries, there were libraries with overwhelming contributions, and libraries with small but relatively high contribution levels were also distributed.

This study uses Gini coefficient to index the inequality of academic information resource among universities to identify the areas where the gap is extremely severe, and analyzes the Gini coefficient over time for 10 years to show how the gap is changing. In addition, the degree and characteristics of the gap appearing by type of universities such as metropolitan universities, local national universities, private universities, and colleges were also compared. As a result, first, the university library academic information infrastructure showed a severe level of disparity (0.6 - 0.9), and the inequality was more severe in serials, electronic resources, and reference service. Even when the relative Gini coefficient was calculated considering the number of students, the inequality was over 0.4 in serial etc. Second, the Gini coefficient trend over the last decade shows that the inequality has decreased toward equality in the re-education time of employees and electronic information resources, but not in other sectors. Third, it was found that special universities and universities in the metropolitan area showed a large gap between universities of the same kind, and local national universities showed the best gap level as well as the best academic information infrastructure.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of space use in university library and draw up considerations for enhancing space utilization based on the analysis results. For this purpose, the utilization rate of each space was analyzed by categorizing the user's space of the university library, and secondly, the preferences of the major user groups were analyzed according to the characteristics of the users' space. For empirical analysis, we collected and refined users' space usage data (98,282 people's data 433,769 cases) accumulated for one year for the central library of "J" National University. Then we analyzed the usage pattern according to space and period(monthly, hourly). In addition, preferences for each major group of users (undergraduates, graduate students and graduates) in the library were analyzed through the library visitors' data (2,426,553 cases) over the same period. The results of this study can be used as preliminary research for the composition and arrangement of users' space in future university libraries.

This study is to evaluate whether economies of scale exist in four categories of university libraries in the Korea. Regression analysis is used to fit a log-log equation to the total budget-output (total circulation, interlibrary lending and borrowing, reference transactions, hours opened, volumes added, automation and information indicator) for all the types of libraries. In results of the analysis, returns to scale are almost constant in the national and public libraries and larger libraries. But there is presence of economics of scale in private libraries and all of the libraries. Except for hours opened, economies of scale decrease more rapidly.

The National Library for the Disabled was upgraded to a primary affiliated organization of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on June 4, 2020, in accordance with Article 24 (1) of the Library Act (Law No. 16685). The National Library for the Disabled is currently preparing to build an independent library building. Now that the National Library for the Disabled has secured its independent legal status, it must become a specialized national library by comprehensively collecting not only alternative materials for the disabled, but also domestic and foreign materials useful to researchers related to the disabled. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to conduct basic research for comprehensive and strategic collection of library materials for people with disabilities, which is an essential part of the statutory work of the National Library for the Disabled. To this end, the concept and category of library materials for the disabled that are expected to be useful for satisfying the intellectual needs of the disabled and for education and research related to the disabled were established targeting knowledge information resources produced and distributed domestically and internationally. Next, based on the current collection development policy of the National Library for the Disabled, an implementation strategy and mid to long term roadmap for comprehensively collecting library materials were presented.

The purpose of this study is to suggest ways to improve development plans of academic libraries in Korea, comparing development plans of academic libraries in Korea and strategic plans of academic libraries in advanced countries. For this purpose, development plans and strategic plans of academic libraries in and out of Korea were collected and analyzed. And a rubric evaluation was applied to the case plans. The findings indicate that development plans of academic libraries in Korea are written for present problems and individual work, and lack mission and vision statement. On the other hand, strategic plans of academic libraries in advanced countries present distinct mission and vision statement, and set up goals, objectives, concrete activities in the framework. As a conclusion, this study suggests that academic libraries in Korea need mission statement and vision statement, task force of librarians, links among mission and vision and concrete activities. This study can contribute for librarians of academic libraries to develop strategic plans in Korea. This study can be used as a basic consideration for the establishment and evaluation of strategic plans at academic libraries in Korea. As follow-up studies, further case study about academic library which develops and activates strategic plan in Korea, comparative study on development plans and strategic plans of national libraries and public libraries in Korea and overseas are needed.

This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of records related to Korea shown in the cataloging records of major 10 Asia-Pacific university libraries. The results are as follows. To begin with, Korea-related records in most university libraries are very poor except for some libraries and are generally 2 times less than Japan related records. There are even 6 times less in 2 libraries. Second, most libraries organize records in MARC 21 format rather than UNIMARC, and apply subject headings of the national library, or go together with LCSH. Third, Korean materials usually write Korean in Roman characters, but 5 libraries are marked with the original Korean language and available Hangeul search. Forth, on investigation of the subject distribution in sub criteria of Korea-related records, subject related to 'history', 'economy', and 'politics' is largely shown in the highest rate. Fifth, Among the Korea-related subject heading, the terms such as 'Taekwondo', 'Kimchi', 'Dokdo', 'Donghae', 'Duman-gang', 'Baekdu-san' have different meanings in different libraries. However, these terms agree to LCSH in most libraries except for neighboring countries's libraries.

For this article, we conducted frequency analysis, topic modeling, and network analysis on eleven texts related to collection development policy found in the National Library of Korea. We deduced the main keywords related to collection development policies and analyzed the relationship between them. We subsequently conducted a pie coefficient analysis to identify the characteristics of collection development policies of university libraries and public libraries by category. The results showed that keywords such as "material," "library," "collection development," "user," and "collection" were the main keywords in frequency analysis and network centrality. Meanwhile, the pie coefficient analysis revealed that keywords such as "university," "construction," "student," "target," and "cost" were prevalent in university libraries, indicating that the academic needs of users and the discussion of digital resources were primary issues, while keywords related to the information needs of various user groups-including "adults," "survey," "feature," and "religion" -appeared in public libraries.
