This study strives to perform a pilot collection assessment study with the political science collection in a university library. Employing the basic list-checking analysis method, the study scrutinized the collection statistics and the circulation statistics, and check the current library holdings with a standard list which was composed of cited works extracted from course syllabi, theses, dissertations and faculty research papers. Although the study is a pilot case study that a particular model was applied to a collection in the field of political science, the result and procedures of the assessment will provide some implications regarding collection assessment in university libraries.

본 연구는 전자정보원의 도입으로 도서관 장서의 구성이 다양화되고, 도서관 장서에 대한 이용자 중심의 가치평가에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있는 도서관 환경을 배경으로 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 도서관의 장서의 가치와 경제성 평가 사례를 분석하여 이를 토대로 도서관 장서에 대한 이용자 중심의 가치 평가 모형의 기초자료를 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 국내외의 문헌 연구를 통해 도서관 장서의 평가가 어떠한 방향으로 변화하고 있는지 동향 파악과 국내외에서 이루어진 도서관 장서의 가치연구사례를 분석하였다.

This study was implemented to suggest various indicators of collection evaluation for collection development policy in public libraries. For the sake of the exploratory research, this study tried to show the usability of indicators of collection evaluation through actual data of a case study. Also to analyze indicators of collection evaluation, this study used the ten years circulation records of the Gwangjin District Public Library in Seoul. Majors indicators of collection evaluation were the rate of use and use factor of purchasing books by annual, the rate of use and use factor of librarian's recommended books by annual, the rate of non circulating books by annual, and the rate of use by residence annually.

The modern society is one of knowledge and information, and the library is one of the important routes through which they are obtained. But the collection in the library, from the onset of its creation and the process of accumulation, could only be bent and biased due to the prejudice and distortion, inevitably acting as an agent that mires the essence of the library as a distribution channel for knowledge and information of modern society. This study is the discussion about the necessity, main assignment and the methodology of library collection study. The collection study needs to focus on the process of accumulating the collection in the library to track down the Process of becoming biased.

The purpose of this study is to propose established factors and a model of collection development policies for the libraries of theological universities in Korea. To achieve purpose of the study, we analyzed of elements and details of collection development policies at libraries of theological universities in overseas. The study then conducted a survey to understand the current status of collection development policies at libraries of theological universities in Korea. Based on the above results, reflecting both the external and the internal factors, the investigator presented a model of collection development policies by identifying seven elements that should be included when developing the policy: prefaces, collection selection, collection gathering, budget, collection maintenance, mutual cooperation and intellectual freedom, and revision of collection development policies.

최근 대학도서관뿐만 아니라 대부분의 도서관에서 인터넷과 웹의 영향으로 전자정보원이 급증하고 이를 관리하는 예산의 비중이 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위하여 장서개발정책 수립이 불가피하다. 특히 외국의 경우 장서정책개발, 장서분석 등의 분야에서 그 연구가 활발한 데에 비해 국내의 장서개발정책은 현실을 반영하는 것조차 힘든 상황이다. 이것은 이용자나 다른 도서관에서 활용하기 어렵다는 문제점을 안고 있으며, 변화하는 시대에 맞춘 장서개발 및 관리 역시 어렵다는 점을 보여주고 있다. 특히 대학도서관의 의무를 다 하기 위해서는, 장서의 효율적인 관리와 공간 활용뿐만 아니라 대학의 교육 및 연구에 얼마나 이바지 할 수 있을 것인가에 더욱 주안점을 둔 장서개발정책이 필요할 것이다. 본 내용은 영국의 리즈대학교와 국내의 A대학교의 장서개발정책을 비교분석함으로서 장서개발정책의 필요성과 문제점을 확인하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine 5 writing guidelines of reference collection development policy(RCDP) and to identify major elements of RCDP through the comparison and analysis of 24 RCDP in academic libraries in the U.S. As a result of this study, a total of 9 elements(5 core elements and 4 selective elements) were identified. Five core elements were (1) introduction, (2) scope, size, and level, (3) format, (4) types, and (5) management(i.e., selection, weeding, evaluation, and responsibilities) of reference collection. The results of this study would be helpful to those academic libraries which are planning to write RCDP in academic libraries in the near future.

This study aims to quantitatively assess collection and circulation data of one small library in an area where multicultural users are concentrated and draw policy implications on improving multicultural services for public libraries. The Ansan Multicultural Small Library was selected for examining the library's collection and circulation usages from 2016 to 2022. The numbers of collection and circulation, collection turnover rates and use factors were calculated by year, language, and KDC subject. The result of this study presents the empirical evidence drawn from users' circulation usage, which can be a basis for leading to valid collection development and multicultural service policies.

The purpose of this study is to measure the saturation of the collection in public library and to propose a solution to this problem. In order to conduct this study, one local government was selected to measure the collection saturation status of each library and to clarify the cause of collection saturation. Based on the research results derived from this study, the public library in Korea measures the degree of collection saturation and recognizes the seriousness of collection saturation, and suggests the task of identifying the cause of collection saturation and solving it.
