This study suggests a method for collection evaluation with other cases analyzing ILL (interlibrary loan) data, which is especially heavy in Small libraries in addition to the holdings and circulation data that are traditionally used in collection development. Collecting and analyzing materials proceeded from 14 Small libraries which operate ILL in a city and tried to figure out features of each library comparing collection statistics with usage statistics including circulation and interlibrary loans. It also identified subject areas heavily used in a Small library, based on the analysis of collection and usage statistics, for the purpose of formulating future policy.

당신에게도 도서관은 어떤 의미인가? 당신의 기억 속 그곳은 입시나 취업준비의 중압감을 안고 공부했던 곳, 혹은 보고 싶은 책은 항상 대출 중인 휑한 곳이 아니었던가. 현재 상황도 별반 다르지는 않다. 작은 도서관 운동등 변화를 시도하는 움직임이 늘곤 있지만, 아직까지 우리의 공공 도서관은 멀고, 협소하고, 자료도 별로 없는 초라한 형색이다. 하지만 도서관의 궁핍한 처지를 탓하기 전에 자신에게 한번 물어보라. 바쁜 일상과 먼 거리를 핑계 삼아 '도서관은 나와 상관없는 곳'으로 치부하지는 않았는지 말이다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest strategies to improve and revitalize public small libraries established and operated by local governments among small libraries in Yangpyeong-gun. For this purpose, basic factors to be considered for the analysis of the current situation were derived by examining the policies and prior studies of small libraries. Based on these factors, the operation status of the public small libraries were analyzed, and interviews were conducted with the itinerant libertarians and staffs. As a result of the analysis, the main problems were the deterioration of a building, the lack of manpower and expertise, and the collection and program that did not reflect regional characteristics.

This study suggests problems with analyzing the contents of ordinances which support establishment and management of small libraries. This study analyzed the provisions which comprise the ordinances, targeting 25 ordinances that a local government enacted. The analysis targets the name of the ordinances, functions of the small libraries, guidelines of establishment, the duties of the local government, manpower in management, management rules of libraries, a steering committee etc. As a result, the provisions of the ordinances were not very different, and it was difficult to find ordinances which reflect regional characteristics. Also, in the provisions, it was pointed out as a restriction that the scale of establishment and management can be altered because there are free provisions more than compulsory ones. Thus, the ordinances of small libraries have to be regarded in local libraries' infrastructure, and supporting guidelines with efforts to assure publicity.
