Performance indicators for academic libraries in Korea suggested in this research cover three areas, that is, collection, budget, and human resources, which consists of three subdivisions, respectively. Performance indicators and action plans in this research were prepared, based on the official documents which universities in Korea formally submitted to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, and the data published by the related institutions. Performance indicators and action plans are intended to draw attentions of university administrators and headquarters, but do not require librarians to prepare for evaluation. The better results would be expected with the development and application of both quantitative and qualitative indicators for information services by standardizing and unifying the process of collecting statistics. It is also expected that periodic and continuing evaluation of academic libraries could help government and universities have a better understanding of and appreciate the significance of academic libraries.

연구자들이 연구 및 학술활동을 위해서 필연적으로 기존 연구를 검토하고 참조하고 인용하고 있으며, 특히 학술연구물의 하나인 해외 학술저널 및 논문의 활용도가 매우 높은 편이다. 그러나 해외 학술정보 시장은 대형 출판사의 주도로 시장이 형성되고 독과점 형태로 운영됨에 따라 그 비용이 계속 상승하고 있고 이와 반대로 국내에서의 해외 저널에 대한 예산은 계속해서 줄어들고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점 해결을 위해 국가 차원의 KESLI 컨소시엄(전자정보 공동구매 및 활용 체제)을 구성하여 전자정보 공동구매의 장을 구축하였다. 본 연구에서는 대학교육협의회, 전문도서관 등 컨소시엄 운영주체의 다변화에 대한 대응과 구매의사결정 지원을 강화하고 대체 정보자원의 제공 등 기존의 KESLI 시스템을 개선하여 대학도서관, 전문도서관, 연구소, 기업 그리고 학술정보 출판사 및 공급사의 전자정보 공동구매 활성화 및 이용자 만족도를 제고하였다.

국내 대학도서관 및 연구기관에서는 컨소시엄에 가입해 전자정보를 구독하고 있다. 저렴한 비용으로 많은 자료를 구독해 예산 절감효과는 있으나 이용 및 활용면에서는 극히 미비한 실정이다. 지역간 전자정보를 공동 활용하는 방안으로는 전자정보를 공동 수서해 근거리에 위치해 있는 대학도서관에서는 상호대차 및 정보공유 협정을 맺어 이용시키는 것이 효율적이며, 이용성활화 방안에 대해서는 천안의 C대학교 홈페이지를 사례로 하여 살펴보았다. 전자정보의 이용활성화는 이용자 편의형 통합 인터페이스를 추축하여 전자정보 원문에 대한 다양한 접근점을 이용할 수 있는 홈페이지를 구현하는 것이 효과적인 방안인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The purpose of this study is to describe the problems. which academic libraries in the V.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada have faced since the 1990s. These problems are mostly caused by environmental changes in higher education. In this study, only discussed are the problems that academic libraries in various countries have commonly experienced. but not unique ones libraries in each country has due to its own national, societal, cultural, academic or informational situations. Major problems include continuing decrease in library expenditures, changing role of libraries themselves. changing nature of library collections, development of information technology and technological Infrastructure on campus, steep increase in prices of scholarly journals, and relative decrease in purchasing powers of libraries. These Problems are all closely inter-related, and seem to require more comprehensive and systematic strategic solutions carried out by the national or government intervention, rather than individual libraries.

The purpose of this study is to select a specialized topic that meets the needs of the local contents and the local people, based on this, the study develops practical guidelines for operating specialized libraries. For this purpose, forty-three libraries in domestic and foreign were selected to derive their implications by surveying the specialized libraries building process, regional characteristics, specialized books, budget, personnel, network, facilities, environment, programs, and publicity. Based on the suggestions reached, we proposed four stages of operation guidelines: the preparation stage for establishing a system to support specialized services and selecting regional specific topics, the stage for the establishment of the library environment in order to serve the selected specialized subjects, the operational stage of planning and providing information complex cultural services related to specialized subjects, and the diffusion stage that communicates with external institutions of the library for upgrading and expanding services.

The directions of recent library construction and operation reflect people's changed lifestyle and suggest innovative spaces specialized on the basis of the local environment. Hence, as the goals of the operation of (tentatively named) Songdaeso Library to be constructed within the Hantangang River UNESCO Global Geopark, this study proposes 'acting as complex cultural facilities,' 'operating stay-type reading culture space which is a shrine for workcation,' and 'acting as the landmark of A-gun (郡, county).' And this study works out strategies for its operation, which includes 'securing the validity of the construction of (tentatively named) Songdaeso Library,' 'linking to library policy as the driving force behind its operation,' and 'demonstrating the necessity for the existence of the library arising from the operation of the geological specialized library through landscape architecture.' It also presents concomitant operating plans, which are categorized into plans for manpower, library books, services, and budget.
