Name Authority Control is useful not only to manage author information but also to gather other names of authors in order to provide access points in libraries and other institutes. The purpose of this study is to find problems through comparing and analyzing Literature Translation Institute of Korea Author Database, Korean name authority records of national libraries in the U. S., Japan and Korea. The results of the study are as follows. First, Literature Translation Institute of Korea Author Database missed some useful information about Korean writers in translated books in other countries. Second, the name authority file of Library of Congress and National Diet Library did not include the variant names, dates of authors' birth and death date, and filled out incorrect variant names with some birth and death dates. Third, English and Chinese character variants of Korean authors were not found in the National Library of Korea. To solve these problems, revisions of Korean author database, open access to National Library of Korea name authority file, and a strong participation of VIAF were suggested.

1997년 1월 22일을 전후하여 전국의 주요 언론매체들은 정부의 ‘경쟁력 10% 이상 높이기’추진 방안을 일제히 보도하였다. 그에 의하면 정부 기능의 민간위탁 가능분야로 상하수도, 청사건물 경비.관리, 공공차량 운영 등과 함께 도서관경연을 예시하였다. 우리 도서관에서는 이같은 정부의 느닷없는 발표를 보고 놀라움과 함께 비상한 관심을 갖게 되었다. 그러나 정부가 구상하고 있는 이른바 ‘도서관의 민간위탁’에 관하여 정부 구상의 내용은 아직 아무것도 밝혀진 것이 없고, 따라서 도서관을 민간에 위탁한다는 것은 도대체 무엇을 어떻게 한다는 뜻인지, 궁금증과 의구심맞 증폭되고 있는 형편이다. 다만, 일본의 도서관계가 이와 유사한 것을 경험한 것으로 보이는 자료들이 여럿 있다. 이에 '도서관문화‘는 그자료 가운데 하나인 ‘국립도서관의 자료와해설’(도서관문제연구회 위탁문제연구회 편집, 도서관문제연구회 발행 1996)중에서 우선 두 건의 기사를 번역하여 지난 호(제38권 제2호)본란에 게재하였고, 이어서 이 번 호에는 ‘공립도서관의 위탁에 대하여’(일본도서관협력회도서관경영관에 관한 기분문제검토위원회)를 싣는다.
