일본도서관협회도 매년 12월 그 해의 주요한 사건을 정리하며 기관지에 발표하고 있다. 이 내용을 통해 일본 도서관계의 당해연도 고민의 수준을 짐작해 볼 수 있을 것으로 생각하여, 2003년도의 주요 토픽 내용을 요약하여 소개한다. 다만, 일본과 우리나라는 지방자치제도의 수준과 내용이 다르고, 이에 따라 도서관 정책과 제도, 운영수준 등 또한 다르다. 따라서 이 내용을 그대로 우리의 현실에 대입하거나 적용하는 일은 경계되어야 할 것이다.

This study aims to analyze and compare the components of school library laws of Korea and Japan. The laws of two nations were legislated by the members of the National Assembly, and NGO contributed significantly to the legislative process. The common parts of the two laws are objectives, definitions, responsibilities of nations, establishments, tasks, human resources, collaborative networks, and education, etc. For the task of school libraries, Korean law emphasizes the function of education, while the Japan law focuses on the basic duties of school libraries. In terms of human resources, school libraries in Korea can have a teacher librarian, a practice teacher, or a librarian, but in Japan, they can have either a teacher librarian or a school librarian. The Korea law specifies the aspects of facilities and materials, but the Japan law does not. Finally, for the educational role, the Korean libraries have reading and information literacy training that are parts of school curriculum, while the Japan libraries have only a library use guidance program and does not include reading education.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meanings of school libraries in Japanese reading education. An emphasis was on analyzing both strength and weakness of Japanese school library policies and reading education programs from the viewpoints of Japanese students. Employed to collect the data were a comprehensive literature survey, focus interviews with 23 school librarians, and a survey with 404 Japanese students. The major finding of this study is that the current Japanese school library policy is not adequate enough to make its reading education be successful, and in particular, it has serious flaws with the educational system of school librarians as well as the school library staffing system itself.

필자는 현재 미국 일리노이 대학 도서관장인 동시에 동 대학 도서관학과 교장의 직에 있다. 그는 미국 도서관협회에 의하여 ‘일본’과 ‘토이기’ 양 도서관 학교를 설치하는 임무를 띠고 다년간에 걸쳐 일본과 토이기에 가 있던 분이다. 본 논문은 그가 그의 임무를 수행하는 동안에 얻은 경험에 의하여 작성된 것으로서 이 두 나라의 도서관 사정이 우리나라의 그것과 흡사함으로 우리나라 도서관 교육에 관심을 가지고 있는 분에게 큰 도움이 되리라 믿는다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the concept of information commons and learning commons that has emerged in recent years, and point out the difference between the two concepts, as well as its implications for public libraries, which get lessons learned from learning commons at Japanese public libraries. To track its evolution to learning commons, the theoretical component of learning commons was analyzed. Based on the reference, a research framework for the case study of learning commons was developed. With IT technology diffusion, libraries have become information commons. However, the main mission of libraries should basically remain as learning. Because of this, libraries which function as information commons should go back to being learning commons, which are primarily places of learning. This research shows that libraries should stress its original basic mission which is learning, beyond being information commons in the Japanese library.

By amending the Japanese School Library Law in 1997, teacher librarians were legally designated for school libraries in Japan. The most important problem of implementing the amended law is how to assigning tasks between teacher librarians and school librarians. It is because that the teacher librarian has not been full time librarian, and school librarian has actually contributed for activation of school library as a professional while there were no teacher librarian. This paper investigates issues and problems related to the amendment of the law, conflicts caused by juxstaposition of teacher librarian and the possibilities of new school librarianship in Japan.
