It is often said that collections of public library are too poor to meet user demands in terms of quantity as well as quality. It is also criticized that this situation is related to the lack of material budget and non-systematic purchasing process. Situated in such context, this study attempted to investigate current policies and regulations that control the material budget allocation and purchasing process in public libraries, because book purchasing process in public libraries is especially influenced by policies and regulations both in national and regional levels. Policies and regulations affecting material budget allocation and purchasing process were analyzed into 4 elements, namely about (1) financial foundation supporting collection development and material budget allocation, (2) the formation of material budget and discount rates, (3) prescribing characteristics of monographs public libraries purchase, and (4) acquisition process.

This study aims to propose methods for determining the minimum book purchase cost budget in university libraries in accordance with the "University Library Promotion Act" and efficiently allocating and executing the secured book purchase cost budget to each department. To achieve this, the current status of university libraries and legal standards were examined and strategies for securing the minimum book purchase cost budget in accordance with legal standards were suggested, and a method for efficiently distributing the secured budget to departments was proposed. First, we determined the material acquisition budget for university libraries by applying the average price of domestically published books to the standards set forth in the University Library Promotion Act. The allocated budget was distributed with 80% assigned to departments and 20% budget for librarians. The department's allocated budget of 80% was then recalculated to 100% and distributed by applying three criteria: book prices by topic, student enrollment, and utilization rates.

This paper strives to examine the acquisition process in public libraries. It specifically attempts to survey the budget allocation, duties and organizational structures of acquisition departments in public libraries, and the overall process of book selection and acquisition. Data was drawn from a survey of 545 public libraries in the country. Specific statistics were gathered through literature and interviews to be analyzed, even though they were not very detailed in nature. In looking at the actual acquisition process, a thorough comparison on the backgrounds, outlines and characteristics of current projects and an analysis on the specifics of each project was also conducted.

The purpose of this study is to analyze variables affecting the number of circulated books which is one of the indicators representing the library use behavior. For the analysis, 2015-2019 data for public libraries was acquired from the National Library Statistics System. The Latent Growth Model estimating a latent intercept and a latent slop based on the individual library trajectories was applied. The results are as followed; first, the circulation rate tends to be decreased. Second, the most affecting factor on the library circulation decrease was the collection budget. This study suggests increasing a collection budget in order to prevent the library circulation decrease while the library is operating in a daily routine.

본 연구는 공공도서관의 지식정보취약계층 서비스 이용에 미치는 영향요인을 분석한 것이다. 연구대상은 서울, 인천 경기지역의 공공도서관 382곳이며, 자료는 국가도서관통계시스템을 통해 2016년도 통계자료를 수집하였다. 분석결과, 지식정보취약계층 서비스 이용은 총 15개의 변수 중 9개가 유의하지 않았으며, 지식취약계층관련 예산, 사서 수, 문화프로그램 실시횟수, 자원봉사자 수, 자료구입비 예산, 노인 및 장애인 열람석 수의 총 6개 변수가 종속변수인 지식정보취약계층서비스 이용자 수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 회귀모형의 전체적인 설명력은 43.2%이며, 자료구입비 예산은 유일하게 부(-)의 영향을 미치고 있다. 이를 제외한 5개의 변수는 종속변수와 정(+)의 관계가 있고, 특히, 지식취약계층관련 예산이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과는 추후 공공도서관에서 지식정보취약계층 서비스 활성화를 위한 방안을 수립할 때 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

점자 다양화되어 가는 시중 유통 특수란에 대한 소비자들의 인지도와 소비형태 등을 조사하여 특수란 소비에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시한 본 조사에서는 총 347명의 설문조사 결과를 분석하였으며 연령, 직업, 소득, 가족수 등의 일반적인 조사와 특수란에 대한 기초도 조사를 중심으로 한 결과 분석에서 계란은 상가나 수퍼에서 구입하였으며 주로 일반란의 구입이 많았으며 특수란 구입경험은 80.1%로 나타나 대부분의 주부가 특수란 구입 경험이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 특수란에 대하여는 비싸다는 의견이 다수를 차지했다. 품질 좋은 특수란의 재구매에 대한 의향은 69.7%가동의하여 특수란 구매의제일 우선은 품질이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 직업, 학력에 다른 특수란 구입과의 관계 분석에서는 접업 주부가 직장인에 비해 식품구매횟수와 주당 소비량이 더 높게 나타났으며 초대졸 이상의 집단에서는 특수란에 대해 구입 경향이 고졸 이하에서 보다 더 높게 나타났다.

The study aimed to identify current situations of Korean church libraries. The results from 22 church libraries are investigated in terms of some factors such as material organization, quantity of materials, facilities, staffs, budgets, public services, users and classification systems. Current libraries are very small in its facility, quantity of the materials and the budget, and lack of the full-time librarian. Recently, children's libraries are established among small churches, and their budgets and public services are stable. Suggestions for revitalizing the church libraries are made: the pastor's understanding of the significance of church library for missions' sake, establishment of more church libraries, acquisitions of various non-book materials, budget security, necessity for a full-time librarian, provision of various types of services and cooperations among church libraries.
