본 연구의 목적은 사서와 이용자가 지닌 도서관 규범을 사서의 역할 규범을 중심으로 비교 분석하는 것이다. 분석 결과, 사서는 이용자 및 정보에 대한 전문성을 바탕으로 정보서비스를 제공해야 한다는 역할 규범을 지니고 있었다. 그러나 이는 실제로 지켜지기보다는 규정적인 차원으로 존재하고 있었다. 반면 이용자는 사서의 역할 규범에 대한 인식이 약했지만, 경험을 통해 '사서는 자료에 대한 전문성을 바탕으로 개인에게 정보서비스를 제공해야 한다'는 기술적 차원의 역할 규범을 지니고 있었다.

The value of the library has always been recognized positively. Economic valuation of libraries and their services uses a concrete methodology that enables the quantification of library value and communication of said value among library stakeholders. This paper presents a comprehensive review of literature on economic valuation of the library based on a total of 89 studies conducted over the last quarter-century. Research on library valuation began in the mid-1990's with the formal exploration of the value of public libraries from a theoretical point of view. In the 2000's, various theories and methodologies were reviewed and put into actual measurement studies. The comprehensive review and analysis point to the need for the development of consistent and reliable set of methods, which will facilitate further application of methods and comparison of results.
