정보화사회에서 사서직이 전문직으로서 인정받고 그 영역을 확대하기 위해서는 격변하고 있는 정보환경과 교육환경에 맞는 새로운 패러다임의 연구와 보완이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이러한 시각에서 본고에서는 전문직성을 규명하고, 이를 확고히 하고자하는 하나의 대안으로서 사서자격증의 국가고시 제도의 도입을 주장하면서 그 해결책을 하나의 시안으로 제시하고있다.

This study focuses on the fact that the awareness of problems concerning self-reflection has not been sufficiently addressed in the realm of Library and Information Science, although it has an important effect on the professional development and individual maturity of librarians. Recent research on self-reflection, which is only at the beginning stages of study, has brought up the need for additional and more in-depth analyses of factors that influence self-reflection. This study on the progress of overall research will show the current status and definition of librarians' self-reflection. The study will also illuminate and make suggestions to help direct future research along the lines of librarians' self-reflection and corresponding educational requirements.

The purposes of this research are to find out why the Korean librarianship has not been fully recognized as a profession and how its recognition can be improved. This research also tries to investigate what the librarians are actually doing at libraries and if their works reflect the criteria of professional works. The research was done through the questionnaires sent to the graduates of the Department of Library Science, Daegu Catholic University working at various types of libraries. Based on the results of the survey, some efforts to improve the professionalism of librarianship are suggested.

This study aims to examine how the specialty of librarians links between users' library experience and their resulting perception of the library in public libraries. After reviewing theoretical background studies, a questionnaire survey was conducted at six public libraries in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The analysis of the survey results showed that the perception of librarians' specialty had a mediation effect on the relationship between cultural, educational activity and library perception. However, information activity was not linked by the perception of librarians' specialty and only directly influenced on the library perception. Accordingly, the result raised a question of a discrepancy between the areas where the users gain the value of the library and where the librarians' specialty is perceived and some implications were suggested. This research is meaningful in integrating the users' library experience, librarians' specialty, and the library performance by external point of view on the specialty, traditionally regarded as an internal characteristic of the librarianship.

Outsourcing has been around a long time in libraries. Card catalogs of LC, and approvalplans, subscription agents and binding of journal are all forms of outsourcing that librarieshave come to accept as normal procedures. Nevertheless. outsourcing is one of the mostcontroversial topics discussed in library management today. It carries meanings ranging fromtraditionally outsourced activities to more recent outsourcing of entire functions anddepartments. This study will provide background and context for the issue of outsourcing.suggest several useful guidelines for the entities of library outsourcing in Korea. One of thecommon rationales for outsourcing is that the activity being outsourced is a "noncore"functions to the mission of the libraries. The best approach to outsourcing is probably a'middle-ground' objective approache-ground' objective approach.

Using Spradley's ethnographic method, the study was designed to describe and understand the factors contributing to the occupational socialization of librarians. Three in-depth interviews and one observation were conducted with each of the sixteen participants who have practiced for longer than 5 years in libraries and were selected by theoretical sampling. Eight factors emerged from the data: education in universities, social changes, work, human relationships, users, the library organizational climate, social perception, and striving to enhance the professional. 'Overcoming a lack of understanding about the profession' was the cultural theme for describing and integrating the factors contributing to the occupational socialization of librarians.

본 연구는 한국 여성사서들의 전반적인 직업실태 및 직업관을 조사 분석함으로 여성사서들이 향후 한국 사서직의 전문성 제고에 기여할 수 있는 방안을 모색해 봄에 그 목적을 두었다. 조사 대상은 전국의 공공, 대학, 전문도서관의 정사서자격증을 소지한 여성사서들이며 자기보고식 질문지를 통하여 자료를 수집, SPSS통계 팩케지에 의해 처리하였다. 여성사서들의 인구학적 특성 (연령별 분포; 결혼여부; 교육수준), 직업적 특성(관종별 분포; 직위; 재직연한; 업무지속성;전문직적 활동), 직업에 대한 태도(결혼후의 계속근무의사; 직업계속동기; 성차별요인; 직업만족도) 등이 분석되었으며 결론을 통하여 한국사서직의 전문성제고와 발전을 위한 구체적인 방안이 제안되었다. (본 연구는 연구자의 박사학위논문(1991) 내용의 일부를 발췌한 것으로 통계수치는 기존의 연구결과에 ‘한국도서관총계’(한국도서관협회, 1993)상의 수치를 반영한 것임.)

The purpose of this study was to identify and understand the meaning and structure of librarians' experience of occupational socialization. Two in-depth interviews were conducted with each of the sixteen participants, practiced above 5 years in libraries and selected by theoretical sampling. Colaizzi's method of phenomenological interpretation was used to arrive at themes that represent what the experience of being a librarian meant to participants. Five thematic categories emerged from the data: 1) growing through deepening work and extending ability, 2) adapting the organization culture, 3) come to maturity along with users, 3) having double consciousness of the profession, 4) seeking self-realization as a librarian. Thus, librarians' experience means to orient toward the becoming a librarian with the professional situated the practice, and is the process librarian concretizes and realizes the ideal type of librarianship in the practice through adjustable interactive-process with environments.

이 연구는 '우리 문헌정보학은 현장의 요구와 필요에 충실히 부응하고 있는가?'에 대한 기본 의문에서 출발하였다. 특히, 공공도서관 현장의 요구를 문헌정보학 교과과정이 얼마나 충실히 반영하고 있는지를 조사하기위해 공공도서관 사서들이 업무수행을 위해 필요로 하고 있는 지식(knowledge), 기술(skill)과 태도(attitude)는 무엇인가를 파악하였다. 이를 통해 공공도서관 현장의 관점을 중시하며 공공도서관 사서직의 전문성을 제고하기 위해 문헌정보학 교과과정이 보완${\cdot}$강화해 나가야 할 부분을 짚어보았다.

A public librarian is an occupation, which requires long-term. continuous training and difficult study to acquire and cultivate professional knowledge and skills. It is a necessity to achieve new knowledge, information and skills via appropriate retraining. A training system is the method which gives chances of retraining to public librarians. After examining some of the problems with the existing training system, it is apparent that the direction of training system needs to be decentralized. That is each local branch should be autonomous in terms of new training for librarians. For the method of training system, each autonomous unit would integrate the different theories to apply to the community-at-large and invite practical specialists from the local community to lecture. The training classes would be elective in that the each librarian could choose the classes he/she wants to take and give them credits for that, but the certificate for the class would also go towards completion for the required technical training. Finally, the utilization of cyber-education should be introduced, and the library association's role strengthened, to help public librarians cultivate their specialties.
