The reason that American public library was developed in the 19th century was the influence of individualism. The intention of this study is to sugest to make plan of developing Korean public library in concordance with the common philosophy of Korean people.

도서관 분류작업의 의미와 실효성에 대한 의문이 제기되면서, 도서관계에서는 이용자 중심적 분류 또는 독자의 관심을 바탕으로 하는 분류에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있다. 북미 공공도서관계에서는 bookstore model이라 불리는 장르 분류의 적용을 통해 업무의 효율은 물론이고 자료에 대한 도서관 이용자들의 접근성을 향상시킴으로써 결과적으로 도서관 이용율과 서비스 만족도의 증대에 기여하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 북미 공공도서관에서의 장르 분류의 적용양상과 그 과정에서 발견되는 특징을 살펴봄으로써 우리 도서관계에서 진행되는 분류업무의 의미와 기본 방향에 대해 진지하게 성찰해 보았다. 연구에 필요한 데이터는 문헌조사와 북미 공공도서관 실무자와의 면담 또는 서신 교환을 통해 수집하였다.

The concept of the public library defined by the Korean Library Association does not describe the current state of the Korean public library but describes the public libraries in the western society. Korean public library was formed after the western public library but it was modified and reconciled with the tradition of Korea. The difference between the concepts occured in the acculturation process of the Korean public library. According to the International Encyclopeadia of the Social Sciences, acculturation comprehends those phenomena which result when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous firsthand contact, with subsequent changes in the original cultural patterns of either of both groups. Korea opened its door to western world in 1876, and it began to contact with the western world. As the consequence, the concept of the public library of the West diffused to Lee Dynasty which were characterized by the confucianism and the extended family system. These two characteristics were against the public library concept and it could not function as it was and it had to be modified to fit to Korean society. The American public library was formed by the diffusion of English public library. The concept fitted in the colonial American society which was characterized by the Christianity and nuclear family system. Religion and family life were closely knitted together and they contributed much to the formation of the American public library. Also the society needed various information to form their new nation. The need of the public library grew and the public library repidly developed as the American society was urbanized and industrialized. The changes of Korean public library has passed the following process of acculturation. 1. The Korean culture contacted with Western world. 2. The public library concept diffused to Korea, but the people were illiterate and the need of the public library was for the preservation of the old books. The collection was not for people. 3. The function of the public library in Korea was altered slightly as several intellectuals who formed the first modern public library tried to literate Koreans as a means of liberation :from Japan through the library service. 4. The traditional libraries such as sodandg and hyangyo disorganized and finally disappeared as the traditional elements of the culture disappeared and the new cultural elements prevailed in Korea. 5. When the traditional elements of culture were disorganized, a reinterpretation of the diffused culture appeared. With the appearance of the vouth group which was not existed in the traditional society, cultural facilities for them were needed. They began to use public library as their reading rooms. This pattern has been institutionalized ever since in Korean public library. 6. When the new element of the culture spread, the traditional cultural elements react against this element. As the new public libraries sprung out, there were movements to restore the old Korean tradition of the family libraries and Hyangyo to counteract to the new libraries. This movements were not successful and they all disappeared as they could not keep up the rapid social change occurred in the Korean society. 7. In the process of the cultral change, cultural lag occurred between the public library and the users who could not adopt to the new library. This has been continued to the present time. 8. This diffused concept of the public library was modified and became native to Korean society. However, the acculturation of the public library concept has not changed the traditional ideas of Korean people and their behavior. The Korean society recently has been changing rapidly and the function of the Korean public library is improving accordingly; 1. The extended Korean family system is disorganizing. As the consequence, the public library could substitute the family system offering information and recreation service, etc. 2. The growth of educated population is requiring a variety of library materials. An individual library can not meet the needs of them and cooperative library service will be needed to share resources. The public library will become the center of the cooperative service. 3. The Koreans are watching TV more hours than they read printed materials. For them, the public library needs to collect audiovisual materials. Especially the teaching materials should be all audiovisualized for the effective teaching. 4. Technology is developing rapidly in Korea, especially computer technology is applied in many parts of the society. This will also influence library service. The public library will be developing as the centralized library computer system. When the Korean public library functions as the extended family system and the center of the cooperative library system, the Korean public library will be functioning as the public library defined by the Korean Library Association.

이 논문의 목적은 영미권 공공도서관의 패싯 내비게이션 분석을 통해서 국내 공공도서관 이용자에게 적합한 패싯 내비게이션을 구축하기 위한 것이다. 국내 공공도서관 19개와 영미권 공공도서관 12개를 선정하여 패싯 내비게이션의 고유한 패싯들을 분석하였다. 국내 공공도서관의 패싯은 대학도서관의 패싯과 차이가 없었지만, 미국과 캐나다 공공도서관은 공공도서관만의 고유한 패싯을 포함하고 있었다. 그 패싯들은 이용자 계층, 문학형식, 유사자료추천(library list), 이용자 생성 태그, 이용자가 대출할 수 있는 도서와 도서관에서만 이용할 수 있는 도서, 온라인으로 접근할 수 있는 도서로 나누어서 제시하는 이용자의 사용성을 증진시키기 위한 패싯들이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 패싯들을 통합서지용 KORMARC 008 부호화정보필드를 활용하여 국내 공공도서관에 적용함으로써, 공공도서관 이용자의 도서관 목록을 이용한 검색 편의성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Toe public library may perform a social good only when its objectives are adequate to the community's needs. The present purpose of the public library in the Korean Library Act has no direct concern for our social needs from its very beginning because it was not created in response to our social needs but transplanted from American principles. It is, therefore. difficult to expect socially useful output of our public library programs under the present purpose which may be inadequate to our social tradition and needs. This study purposes to examine validity of the present purpose of the public library in the Korean Library Act, in the light of our community needs and our own library tradition. The methods employed to achieve the purpose of the study are (1) to survey needs of the library frequenters through questionnaire, and interviews with the public librarians in Seoul, (2) to gather the statistical data relevant to, and supporting, the hypothesis, and (3) to compare our social background with that of the United States of which the American purpose, a model for our present purpose, came out. The conclusion is as follows: A. The idea to induce people to pull themselves upward by providing for all the members of the community access to the world's best books shelved in the public library should be abandoned. The reasons are (1) that the idea is alien in our public library tradition, (2) that little demand of the community goes with the idea, and (3) that reading outside the library has come into wide practice, thanks to recent increase in individual income and that in publications. B. That the public library maintains fiction and other recreational reading materials is meaningless in the light of the community needs. These are the two explanations supporting the thesis. (1) The "uplift" theory has proved inoperative and people apparently do not progress from, light fiction to more respectable fare. (2) The conviction that fiction and other recreational reading materials keep the middling classes from the "vicious" entertainments maintaining order in the community by giving them a harmless source of recreation has lost its significance as the modern society provides a number of choices in recreation: television is an obvious example. C. The nature of the informational needs of the community has radically changed, so radically as to require substantial changes in the outlook, collections, and services of the public library, which is :slow in adopting itself to the new social surroundings in Korea. D. 92.2 per Cent of the present frequenters of the public library are high school and college students. Since the library is to meet the existing community needs it should turn its attention to the student group, and develop the means to serve it better, not the "theoretical group of specialists who do not come to "the public library. E. In revision of the purpose of the public library, priority of each objective should be given. The priorities in the last analysis are research and information. culture, recreation in that order.

다문화 시대에 도서관의 역할과 서비스 방안을 모색하기 위해서는 우리 사회에서 '다문화'가 가지는 의미에 대해 충분히 검토하고, 우리 사회에서 추구하는 다문화의 가치를 도서관의 관점에서 어떻게 대응할 것인가에 대한 논의가 필요하다. 그러나 지금까지 한국 도서관계의 다문화 논의는 우리와는 문화적 토양이 상이한 서구국가의 경험과 이론을 바탕으로 이루어져 왔으며, 실행 방안 또한 이들 국가에서 시행하고 있는 사례를 외형적으로 모방하는 수준에서 크게 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 미국의 역사적이고 사회문화적인 배경 속에서 이주민을 위한 도서관 서비스가 어떻게 발전하여 왔는지 그 실체를 정확하게 분석해 봄으로써 우리의 상황에서 수용해야 할 것과 향후 비판적 검토가 필요한 것을 구분하여 제안하고자 하였다. 연구에 필요한 데이터는 문헌연구와 사례 도서관(뉴욕 퀸즈도서관, LA공공도서관, 시애틀공공도서관)에서의 관찰 및 면담을 통해 수집하였다.

The aims of automation efforts in libraries are the rationalization of interval work and improvement of user services. After a period of exclusive internal computer utilization, later voluntary contact with the computer (e.g., circulation control with self services), patrons of American libraries now have to go to a computer terminal if they want certain information. Online public access catalogs(OPAC) have been used in American libraries since the end of the seventies. But OP AC are accepted by patron only if they have a useful and flexible user interface. This paper briefly describes the use of online catalogs in different type of libraries, categories of user (user, non-user), aspect of catalog use in context with computer experience etc. The disscussion then focuses on the characteristics of the final report of online catalog use study of Council on Library Resources and user problems in searching, as reported in many other catalog use studies.

이 연구는 공공도서관이 지역사회를 실행공동체로 변화시키는데 기여함을 밝히고자 했다. 이를 위해 미국도서관협회의 '지역사회를 변화시키는 도서관(LTC)' 사례를 분석하였다. LTC 프로그램에 참여한 공공도서관들은 사서들이 매개자가 되어 실행공동체를 형성하여 지역사회의 문제를 해결하였다. 이러한 실천을 바탕으로 공공도서관은 도서관에 대한 사람들의 인식도 변화시켰다. 따라서 이 사례들을 통해 공공도서관과 지역사회의 관계가 변화하는 모습을 4단계로 모델링하였고,그 단계는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 도서관 조직 내 구성원의 역량 강화, 둘째, 도서관 서비스 개선을 위한 사서들의 실행공동체, 셋째, 지역사회 문제의 해결을 위해 협업하는 사서와 지역주민 실행공동체, 넷째, 실행공동체로서의 지역사회이다.
