Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to review the key factors of automation and information technology which have generally had the first and the most impact on traditional cataloging department and catalogers. Additioansl qualities and skills which the catalogers in this environment will need are indentified. The review is done through the examination of research reports and results of numerous library surveys. The overall climate of change is toward a process of conver gent evolution between catalogers and public service librarians. The heads of technical services departments and several catalogers in eight Korean academic libraries including National Central Library are interviewed to find out the present development of automation and any effect on cataloging staff in terms of work and organizational structure. It is too early to have any such changing impact as the automation is still in its implementing stage. However, they see the future when professional catalogers are expected to serve in much extended role as the automation stages are moving ahead.

정리기능의 성격과 내용을 가장 초기에 그리고 크게 변화시켰으며 이로 인하여 전통적 정리부서의 구조에도 전반적 영향을 미치기 시작하는 자동화의 요인들을 알아보고, 특히 목록사서의 변화되는 역할을 조명해 보는데 본 논문의 목적이 있다. 현재 진행되고 있는 정리사서의 역할변화의 추세와 이에 따라 이들에게 새롭게 요구되는 자질도 분석해 본다. 또한 이러한 상황 인식과 대비를 통해서 도서관 전체로서의 상호작용과 정보제공기능을 한층 원할하게 수행할 수 있다는 판단에서 어느 정도 자동화를 진척시키고 있는 한국의 대학도서관 정리사서들을 면담하여 당면한 현실과 전망에 관한 의견을 종합한다.
