이 연구는 한국 사서직의 전문성 제고를 위한 방안을 찾으려고 시도되었다. 외형적으로는 사서직이 전문직으로서의 형식을 갖추고 있으나, 내용적으로는 아직 부족한 부분이 많다. 오래 동안 논의되어 온 사서직 자격제도, 교육제도 등도 다시 고찰한다. 사서직의 이론적 토대가 되는 문헌정보학 연구와 사서들의 의지가 모이는 전문직 단체의 활동은 전문성 확보에 얼마나 기여하는지를 논의한다.

우리 사회에서 사서직은 과연 전문직인가\ulcorner 이 글의 논제이다. 이 글은 직업사회학에서 이야기하는 전문직 이론에 기초하여 전문직의 제반 요건을 이해하는 작업에서부터 시작한다. 이어, 우리 사회구성원의 시각과 사서 자신들의 육성을 통해 사서직에 대한 대중적 인식을 점검한다. 나아가, 우리 사서직의 현단계를 전문직 이론에서 제시하는 요건에 비추어 보면서, 우리의 사서직이 안고 있는 문제점이 무엇인지를 분석한다. 마지막으로, 우리의 사서직이 전문직의 대열에 합류하려면 앞으로 무엇을 어떻게 풀어가야 하는지에 대해 논의한다.

본 연구에서는 변경된 사서직 공무원 시험제도가 사서직 직무전문성을 향상시키는 방향으로 개정이 되었는지에 대한 인식을 현직 사서공무원 대상의 설문을 통해 파악하고자 한다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 사서직 공무원 채용에 사서직 직무전문성을 갖춘 인재채용을 위한 시험과목과 채용제도의 개선안을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 현직 사서공무원은 변경된 사서직 8 9급공무원 공채 시험과목이 사서직 직무전문성을 가진 사람을 채용하는데 있어 실용성이 없는 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 응답자의 78.5%가 변경된 과목(행정학개론, 사회, 과학, 수학)보다는 사서직 전공과목을 위주로 필기시험과목을 조정해야 한다고 생각하고 있었다. 셋째, 전문성 향상을 위한 사서직 공무원 공개채용 시험과목으로 '도서관경영론', '정보조직론', '장서관리론' 과목이 필요하다고 생각하는 것으로 조사되었다.

The writer tries to propose some characteristics of profession and recommend those of librarianship. In this connection, the writer tries to define 'negative' and 'positive' functions of librarianship as a profession. The writer also aims at classifying various disciplines included in library sciencee Library science has to do with such phases as educational aids, storage and retrieval of knowledge and information, and librarianship itself. The title 'Librarian' carries with it the connotation of 'professional' in the sense that professional tasks require a special knowledge and background, that librarians try to maintain quality service to clients, the knowledge and information are produced, developed, and disseminated via librarians, and that librarians are responsible for continuing education. The fact that the present stage of librarianship is generally known to adhere to negative posture and randomness might permit other institutions to replace the library's role.

The Library of Congress' proposal to license LC MARC database and the following debate over the proposal shows that the issue on ownership of bibliographic databases, which surfaced as a topic of concern in the international library community with the OCLC's a n.0, pplication for copyright of its databases in 1982, is not fading or dead into the 1990s. In particular, the way that technological developments are outpacing the ability of the relevant organizations and legal systems to make necessary adjustments is giving the library profession a warning that cooperative efforts for further development of the international library systems, such as the UBC program, might be seriously impeded without a swift and amicable agreement on the controversial 'database ownership' issue. Here, the purpose of this paper lies in discussing the 'database ownership' issue from a macro and long-term perspective, with emphasis on its potential impacts on, and implications for, international information flows. To the end, the specific questions covered in this paper include : 1) what are the major causes of the database ownership controversy? 2) what are the potential impacts of the database ownership issue on the library profession's cooperative efforts toward free bibliographic information flows at the international level? And finally, 3) what are the implications of the database ownership issue for the Korean Library Community, which is making efforts toward the establishment of a national library network in near future through linking various library automation systems.

이 글의 목적은 공식적으로 출범한지 60년이 넘은 '한국 문헌정보학'의 건강을 위협하는 구조적인 문제들을 점검하고 필수 학문으로서의 입지를 다지기 위한 해법을 모색하는데 있다. 이 글에서는 특히, 대학의 구조조정이 광범위하게 진행되고 있는 '위기의 국면'에서 문헌정보학의 기본 체질을 강화하기 위해서 학계가 역량을 집중해야 하는 주요 문제들에 대해 중점적으로 논의하고 있다. 구체적으로, '학문의 정체성', '연구의 유용성', '교육의 실효성'의 측면에서 한국 문헌정보학에 내재하는 문제들을 구체화하면서 그러한 문제들을 만성적 질환으로 만들어온 요인을 밝혀내고 있다. 그 과정에서 논의의 초점을 한국 문헌정보학이 처해있는 고유하고 토착적인 환경을 분석하는데 두고 있으며, 문제의 해결을 위한 처방의 모색에 있어서도 한국의 실정에 적합한 실사구시적인 방안을 제시하고 있다.
