지난해 연말 일간지에 한 퇴임 교수의 공공도서관 장서 기증 소식이 소개되었다. 주인공은 리영희 전 한양대 교수로 그는 1970-80년대 청년학생들에겐 '사상의 은인'이었고, 맹목적 반공권력자들에겐 '의식화의 원흉'이었다. 한국의 대표적인 진보 지식인으로 손꼽혀 온 리영희 교수를 경기도 산본 자택에서 만나보았다.

In this study, the service image of the public library was investigated to the users of the public library, and basic data to improve the service image of the public library was also analyzed. In order to analyze public library service image, survey was conducted to 143 users of regional central library in Daejeon Metropolitan City. The results are as followed. First, reliability and publicity was the most highly rated and service satisfaction was the least highly rated. Second, when it was expressed with service quality image, there was no large difference. Third, reliability-providing useful information, publicity-fair treatment, and tangibles-convenient facility had positive images. On the other hand, access-good traffic condition, responsiveness-providing prompt new information, and tangibles-comfortable facility had negative images. Fourth, higher age group had lower mean value from teens to sixties.

In this study, we investigate the usefulness of the measures of the 2008 Korean Public Library Operation Assessment as perceived by librarians in practice using a survey. The survey was answered by librarians in large, medium, and small-sized libraries managed by local autonomous bodies and in large-sized libraries that belong to local education authorities. The survey results show that whereas the usefulness of items was higher in planning area and those items that can be easily counted, and usefulness of items in human resources and facilities was lower. There are no significant results in differences by library size and by the characteristics of librarians. Based on the results, we suggest a direction for the improvement of the Korean Public Library Operation Assessment.

Public Libraries should be open at times when the community can make the most effective and convenient use of library collections and services. In other words, public library must provide adequate open hours for local residents. In this respect, this study analyzed the minimum opening hours per week in public library standards of international organizations(IFLA/UNESCO) and major countries (USA, Canada, UK, France, Australia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea) and suggested a desirable minimum standards(under 10,000 population-45 hours ; over 10,000~20,000 population-50 hours ; over 20,000~50,000 population-55 hours ; over 50,000~100,000 population-60 hours ; over 100,000~300,000 population-65 hours ; over 300,000 population-70 hours) for opening hours per week of public library based on population size in Korea.

Public libraries have been facing new challenges as the number of channels providing information resources has been increasing due to information and communication technology development. The perception of public libraries of the general public is that they should continue to play a substantial role in information services. However, the libraries' environments are changing, and the public's needs are diversifying, so public libraries also need to differentiate themselves from other organizations that provide similar services. This paper proposes branding as a solution to create differentiation. The study conducted a questionnaire survey with Koreans in their 20s. A series of statistical tests with the survey data showed the impact of the brand association elements on customer satisfaction and brand loyalty and identified unique factors in public libraries. For example, Brand associations such as material-based services, benefits, and attitude affected both dependent variables. On the other hand, the non-product association such as space/place images did not. Based on these findings, we provided implications for introducing branding in public libraries.

Recently, public libraries have increased in quantity, while various problems have arisen regarding the operation of public libraries, such as lack of librarian manpower and facilities. Additionally, an increase in the number of public libraries does not correlate to an increase in the utilization of public libraries, and thus developing various services is needed to maintain the continued use of public libraries. This study examined which types of use motivations affect the intention of knowledge exchange in public libraries when using public libraries based on the self-determination theory. It also looked at how the use motivations and the intention of knowledge exchange vary depending on the frequency of public library use. According to an online survey of 230 users of public libraries, extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, autonomy, competence, and relatedness as independent variables had a positive impact on the level of knowledge exchange. In addition, the higher the frequency of public library use, the higher the needs for autonomy and relatedness were. Based on the results, it was suggested that the knowledge exchange needs to be established as a new service of public libraries by offsetting extrinsic motivation that emerged from by negative influences and promoting intrinsic motivation, autonomy and competence.

첨단정보실, 영상자료와 컴퓨터 검색대 등 최근의 도서관 변화가 외형적인 데 그쳐서는 안된다는 지적이 많다. 공공도서관 운영에 근본적인 문제가 해결되지 않는 한 이용자 중심의 도서관은 요원하다.

본 연구는 공공도서관 이용자들을 대상으로 실제 도서관 이용과 관련한 구전행위가 어떤 내용으로 어떻게 이루어지고 있는지 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울 소재 공공도서관 한 곳을 주 1회 이상 정기적으로 이용하는 20-40대 이용자들을 대상으로 심층 면접을 통해 자료를 수집하고, 근거 이론 방법을 적용해 데이터를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 총 130개 개념과 58개의 하위범주, 그리고 17개의 범주가 도출되었고, 도서관 서비스 이용에서 구전으로 이어지는 일련의 과정은 '도서관 인지-도서관 서비스 이용 및 경험-도서관에 대한 구전 행위-구전 행위에 따른 결과'의 네 단계로 정리해 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 핵심범주는 '나에게는 가깝지만 같이 소통하기에는 어려운 도서관'으로써, 평소 도서관과 관련된 것들에 관심이 많은 이용자들에게는 도서관이 가깝고 친근한 시설이지만 대다수의 일반인들에게는 구전을 통한 소통과 이해가 어려운 장소로 인식되는 것으로 나타났다.
