This study examines public libraries being built using the BTL (Build-Transfer-Lease) method, which is one type of Private Finance Initiative, in order to investigate effective ways of building public libraries in Korea. A literature search, field research and interviews were the methods used for the study. One library was built and eight other libraries are in the process of construction using the BTL method in six cities in Korea in 2008. The study revealed that the bigger libraries are being built using the BTL method. The study suggests that in order to effectively increase the public library infrastructure within a short period of time in Korea, smaller libraries should be built using the BTL method.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the integrated search services for integrated libraries operated by local governments in Korea. The target of analysis was integrated libraries operated by 25 local governments in Seoul, and the analysis elements were selected from service functions in 12 areas related to integrated search. The results of the study are as follows. First, the integrated library is an association of public libraries and small libraries in autonomous districts and provides integrated search services. The provided integrated search service function, types of bibliographic information, and facets are not diverse. Second, the records in the search results were mostly item types, not title types. Third, enrichment information supplementing book information consists of book introductions, related information, book-related keywords, and loan-related information. Fourth, integrated search shows the form of integrated OPAC based on integrated catalog DB rather than discovery-type search. It concentrates on providing an integrated search for catalog DBs distributed in public libraries or small libraries in the autonomous district. Fifth, most integrated libraries provide similar service types. Based on these results, improvement plans were proposed for domestic public libraries to expect discovery-type integrated search services.

This study intended to support the effective operation of libraries by suggesting measures to resolve the problems of small libraries that experience operational difficulties caused by lack of expertise. To achieve this, the study selected 22 small libraries among the nationwide small libraries by grades, types, and users, and then conducted interviews with their operating staffs. Based on the findings of the study, certain library facilitation measures were suggested, including the provision of incentives for librarian certificate holders, the free distribution of book management programs and their training, regular book supply policies of local governments, differential supports for operation evaluation, the establishment of user service guidelines, and cooperations with public libraries.

경상남도는 학교도서관 분야에 있어서 양적으로나 질적으로 타시ㆍ도의 추종을 허락하지 않을만큼 앞서고 있다. 광복후 새로운 교육이념에 입각한 새로운 학교도서관운동이 거기서 일어난 까닭이기도 하겠거니와 학교행정당국이 남 먼저 학교도서관의 교육적 가치를 인정하고 계획적으로 이를 육성하여 온 까닭인 것이다. 이윤근 경남도교육감은 편집자에게 다음과 같은 말을 들려 준 적이 있다. ‘해방후 우리 교육계에는 온갖 바람이 불어 오고 또 불어 갔다. 그것들은 모두 바람이어서, 불어 간 뒤에는 남는 것이 없었다. 학교도서관도 이 같은 한 가지 바람이겠는가? 아니다. 학교도서관은 우리 도의 경우 학교교육의 모든 분야에 너무도 밀접하게 연결되어 있어서 이것을 제거하려면 학교교육 자체를 크게 손상시키게 될 판이다. 우리의 학교도서관이 이만큼 자라난 것은 첫째 우리 일선교사들의 공으로 돌려야 하겠지만, 행정을 맡은 우리가 그 방면의 인재를 구해서 지도력을 십분 발휘할 수 있는 체제를 마련하여 준 까닭이라고 본다.’ 여기에 소개하는 경남도 교육위원회의 금년도 학교도서관 육성계획(중등분)을 볼 때, 이 교육감의 증언이 아주 정확한 것임을 알 수가 있다. 본계획은 ① 66년도부터 시작된 3개년계획과 ② 3개년계획의 2차년도가 끝난 66년초의 현황과 ③ 66년도의 지도 계획 및 ④ 66년도 지도계획에 따른 각학교 계획지침의 4부면으로 구성되어 있다. ‘시ㆍ도단위 교육행정당국이 학교도서관 지도계획을 어떻게 세울 것인가?’라는 질문에 대하여 최선의 대답이 될 것으로 안다.
