Public library users' perception of librarians can be an important aspect in improving the public library uses and the quality of informn services. Thus it is necessary to identify what factors affect users' perceptions of librarians. This research empirically investigated users' general perceptions of librarians and the factors affecting them through a survey. As a result, it was found that the use of library collections, library facilities, and participation in club activities through the library affect the formation of a positive perception of librarians. In addition, the roles of the librarian are expanding from informational activities to supporting social activities. In contrast, the factors of direct interaction with the librarian, including participation in public library programs, circulating library collections, and communication with librarian, do not have a significant effect on the formation of the perception of librarian. Thus librarians need to consider library users more substantially and to support them in various ways.

대학도서관에서 근로학생은 '근로자'와 '이용자'의 두 가지 신분을 동시에 가지는 인적자원으로, 본 연구에서는 도서관마케팅 관점에서 본 근로학생의 새로운 역할과 가치를 파악하고자 하였다. 심층면담 결과, 이들은 근로를 경험한 이용자로서 개인의 도서관 이용행태에 변화를 나타내어, 충성도 높은 잠재고객으로의 가능성이 확인되었다. 뿐만 아니라 근로학생은 내부와 외부의 관점을 동시에 가져, 도서관 내부에는 이용자의 관점으로 피드백을 제공하고, 외부 학생에게는 구전마케터로서 영향을 미친다. 이에 도출된 결과는 근로학생이 도서관의 중요한 마케팅대상이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

도서관은 사회적 변화와 요구에 따라 그 역할이 점점 확대되고 있으며, 특히 어린이도서관에서 실시하는 문화프로그램에 대한 관심 또한 높아지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 어린이도서관의 가치, 기능구현에 문화프로그램이 어떤 역할을 수행하고 있는지 살펴보기 위해 국립어린이청소년도서관과 서울특별시교육청 어린이도서관 웹 사이트를 조사하여 현재 실시하고 있는 문화프로그램의 현황을 주제별, 이용대상별로 내용 분석하였다. 분석 결과 어린이도서관은 독서교육과 문화적 매개공간의 기능을 하고 있으며 향후 공공도서관에서 문화프로그램을 기획하고 운영하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

한국도서관협회는 매년 4월중 1주일간을 "도서관주간"으로 정하여 도서관의 가치와 중요성을 알림으로써 도서관의 사회적 역할을 확대하고 국민들의 인식을 제고하기 위하여 노력해 왔다. 1964년 처음 시작된 "도서관주간"은 지금까지 지식정보사회를 열어가는 동반자인 도서관과 국민들의 상호이해 증진의 장으로 자리매김해오고 있다. 도서관주간은 매년 4월 12일부터 18일까지이며, 이 기간동안 공공 대학 학교 전문 도서관 등 모든 관종의 도서관에서는 다양하고 창의적인 프로그램을 통해 이용자들과 만나고 있다.

As a research method, in-depth interviews were conducted with IT experts of university libraries in North America, and conclusions and discussion were drawn from interview results and related documents. Research results revealed that university libraries in North America were trying to build an infrastructure that facilitates information access and retrieval based on artificial intelligence systems and to provide new services in collaboration with AI research institutes in universities. This study raised issues regarding the expansion of the role of libraries and librarians, privacy, and data quality. It was also discussed that the need for re-education of university librarians to become software engineers who play a role in disseminating knowledge. In addition, this study suggested the investment for the establishment of the information system and an artificial intelligence research center in the library.
