At the time of operating and studying the subject special librarians of university libraries, an aim of this study is to seek the ways for the users to be aware and make the best use of them, and to receive the necessary assistance from them. To achieve this, I examined carefully the operation and management states, and surveyed and analyzed the actual users' awareness of these operations. Furthermore, I investigated the way to improve the required qualifications to be subject-special librarians and the users' awareness of them. Therefore, I finally examined the way how they reconsidered the actual users in the university libraries.

Innovation in university library spaces is challenging to effectively support the education of the university's future learning and innovation capabilities, including creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception and need of library space from the perspective of users and librarians, and to suggest the direction of space innovation through this. For this study, we designed each questionnaire for users and librarians, and collected responses from 363 users and 186 librarians in the university library to analyze their needs and perceptions about their library space. The librarian's need for the space was analyzed by the size of the library and the demographic factors of the librarian. The user's need was analyzed by the user's attributes. In addition, we analyzed the differences between librarians and users for the need for space and space services. The results of this paper may be useful for reference when planning a new library or building a space based on user.

This study analyzed the respective teaching and learning-related services offered by the Centers for Teaching and Learning and the academic libraries to find the proper roles of libraries regarding this type of service. We interviewed librarians to collect the data. The content analysis of the qualitative interview data enabled us to identify the librarians' perceptions of teaching and learning support, service provision method, strengthening relationships with other academic units, recognition of libraries' roles within the universities, and generating more investment for the libraries. Finally, the analysis led to six suggestions for libraries' teaching and learning support functions, such as advertising the availability of specific academic discipline or unit-oriented library services, strengthening librarian's capabilities as educators, bolstering digital information literacy of the faculty members and students, injecting libraries' views into the development and maintaining fundamental knowledge-related programs, emphasizing the notion of human-centered libraries, and finding new ways to utilize library space.

대학도서관 사서는 이용자에게 신속한 지식정보를 제공하고 변화하는 교육환경에 신속하게 적용하고 정보욕구를 충족시키고 조직을 발전시키기 위하여 도서관의 기본요소 항목인 사서확보와 장서확충 및 예산과 시설이 잘 갖추어 지도록 노려해야 할 것이다. 그 중에서 대학도서관이 가지는 다양한 기능과 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 도서관에 근무하는 사서의 역할이 중요하다. 왜냐하면 사서의 직무수행이 이용자에 대한 정보서비스의 품질과 밀접하기 때문이다. 특히 전문대학은 설립기관이나 교육목표에 따라 차이는 있을 수 있지만 전문인력을 양성하는 기관으로 인식되는 것은 같다. 하지만 4년제 대학에 비하여 봉사대상은 비슷한 수준임에도 불구하고 상대적으로 기준, 시설, 예산면에서 열악한 전문대학 사서의 현실과 현황을 비교해 보고 사서 구성원을 검토함으로써 전문대학만이 가지는 문제점을 파악하고 전문대학 도서관 사서도 전문직으로서 자부심을 가짐으로써 열악한 전문대학 현실에 대응할 수 있는 대처방안을 모색해 보고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the librarians' perceptions towards the changes in university library space in order to derive the future direction of improving the effectiveness of the renovation or new building construction and the efficiency of space reorganization of university libraries from the professional librarian perspective. For this, the study conducted a field survey of university librarians and further performed in-depth face-to-face or phone interviews with university librarians who are currently involved in the renovation or new building construction. The analysis results revealed that the changes in university library space were made for three major purposes: the securement of the space for diverse library objectives, the expansion of the latest IT facilities, and the securement of preservation space. Also the importance of the library space change considering pragmatic functions and utilization fit with the library's purposes, the creative space change reflecting the university characteristics, and the proactive and visionary roles of the librarians in such changes was brought up.

The study aims to investigate the perception of RDA by domestic university library librarians, the current status and plan of RDA application in university libraries, and propose considerations for establishing RDA in domestic university libraries. Through literature review, questionnaire items were prepared to investigate librarians' perception of RDA and the status of RDA in university libraries, and the application status of cataloging rules and education status of cataloging rules in Korea were investigated. Based on the results of the survey, the conversion of the cataloging rules from AACR2 to RDA requires expansion of RDA education and development of curriculum for librarians, and efforts and support such as preparing RDA format and application guidelines at the library level. At the level of national institutions such as the National Library of Korea, implications such as the necessity of enacting RDA application guidelines were presented.

문헌정보학 전공자에게 있어 취업의 꽃은 대학도서관 사서로의 진출이 아닐까 싶다. 왜냐하면 대학 도서관은 다른 관종의 도서관에 비해 외형적으로 규모가 크고, 업무는 다양할 뿐만 아니라 영역별로 전문화되어 있어 다양한 경험을 쌓을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 게다가 근무시간이나 급여, 복지 등과 같은 근무조건 및 환경 역시 타 관종에 비하여 비교적 우위에 있다고 하겠다. 때문에 전공자들 사이에는 기회가 된다면 누구나 대학도서관 사서로의 꿈을 꾸는 것이다. 하지만 최근 대학을 둘러싼 내외적인 상황이 그리 만만하지가 않다. 대학 외적으로는 대학 간 무한경쟁 체제의 확산 및 심화, 입학자원의 절대적 감소, 정부 및 각종 기관의 지원시 엄격한 평가 적용 등의 영향과 내적으로는 대학내 도서관 위상의 점진적 약화, 사서적인 수의 감소, 사서직에 대한 전통적 인식 약화로 인한 입지 위협 등으로 인하여 대하교직원 채용에 있어 도서관 사서는 대개 후순위이거나 고려대상에서 점점 더 멀어지고 있는 실정이다. 또한 최근에는 긍적적 측면과 부정적 측면이 상존하는 사서직원의 본부부서 이동 역시 늘어나고 있다고 하겠다. 한편 1987년 사서자격증 발급자가 2,000여명을 돌파한 이래 최근에는 매년 2,400여명 내외의 자격증 소지자를 배출하고 있는데, 본 글은 이 정도의 공급에 미루어 볼 때 전체 관종 대비 대학도서관 사서의 모집현황은 어느 정도인지? <사서e마을> 정규직, 비정규직 코너에 2007~2010년간 게재된 모집 공고 중심으로 월별, 지역별, 대학 설립주체별 현황 분석 및 전망을 해보고자 한다.
