A small library can be used as a place of cultural communication and educational experience for members of the local community that can fill the gaps of public libraries. In this study, the motives of users of small libraries were investigated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 45 users of small libraries, and their perceptions from their experiences were classified into four categories, 'attention', 'relevance', 'confidence', and 'satisfaction', and each factor was investigated. Small libraries showed that effective analysis, management, and design of factors related to the four motive classifications could further improve the opportunities of local community residents to find small libraries.

The purpose of this study was to explore the direction of librarianship by analyzing differences in Librarian and User perceptions of Librarianship Professionalism. Literature research was used to derive the components of librarianship Professionalism and to conduct surveys on librarians and users. As a result, librarians recognized expert knowledge as the most important factor, while users recognized service attitude as the most important factor. Users recognized that librarians have low social recognition due to their lack of enjoyment, enthusiasm, and challenging spirit and their ability to develop and provide services by understanding user needs and the flow of knowledge. On the other hand, librarians did not actively engage in communication or exchange with users due to their lack of expert knowledge.

이 글은 1959년 도미 이후 현재까지 10여년간 미국에 체재하면서 미국 도서관계에서 많은 활약을 하고 계신 우리나라의 유일한 도서관학 박사이신 김중한 박사께서 지난 5월 국제회의에 참석차 잠시 귀국하여 고국의 관계를 보고 돌아 가신 후 고국의 도서관계가 보다 더 바람직한 내일이 건설되기를 염원하는 뜻으로 집필해 주신 글이다. 다만 현실적으로 아직 실현 시키기에 어려운 것도 없지 않다. 그러나 근대화의 걸음을 재촉하여 총력적인 작업을 추진하고 있는 우리 나라가 급진적으로 사회현상이 발전해 가고 전문화되어 감에 따라 사회가 도서관에 대한 인식이 성열되고 보다 더 적극적인 요구가 부원간 도래할 것이라고 하는 신념을 갖고 있는 우리들에게 새로운 진로가 될 수 있는 좋은 제언이라고 생각한다. 따라서 이 글이 팔자인 김박사께서도 서두에서 밝힌 바와 같이 한국의 도서관 발전 장기계획을 수립하는 데 있어서 대화의 테마와 한 아이디어로 제시하고 있는 만큼 충분하고 객관적인 분석 비판 검토와 연구가 있어야 할 것으로 믿으며, 항상 고국의 관계 발전과 성장을 위해 염려와 격려를 아끼지 않으시는 필자에게 애심으로 감사를 드리는 바이다.

이 연구는 대구광역시의 공공도서관 자원봉사자 112명의 행동요인들을 조사하가 위해, 사회복지분야에서 연구된 자원봉사의 여러 가지 행동 모델들이 공공도서관에서도 적용될 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 선행연구의 환경적 요인, 역할모델 요인, 보상요인, 인지 요인 등이 자원봉사의 참여지속과 강도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 선정된 독립변수들이 종속변수에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 이 연구에서 새롭게 투입된 공공도서관에 대한 충성도는 공공도서관 자원봉사자의 행동요인을 설명하는 중요한 요인이 될 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.
