Abstract

Despite the continuous development and provisions of state public library standards there has been little research about how useful they are for what aspects of public library activities The purposes of the present study are 1) to understand, from the directors points of view the utility of state standards for planning and evaluation: and 2) to explore the types of factors, related to the directors' backgrounds and/or the library planning and evaluation contexts associated with the directors perceptions. Through a self-administered mail questionnaire, 1,198 public library directors in Kansas Texas and Wisconsin were surveyed. and 737 directors replied ($61.5\%$ response rate). The directors perceived the standards useful for both planning and evaluation. Public library directors viewed the collection and service standards as more useful than administration, staffing and facilities standards. Library size and community involvement were associated with the directors perceptions, yet the directors professional background, was not significantly related to his or her perceptions. The findings suggest that public library directors perceptions of the utility of state standards need to be understood within the library condition and Its community context. and the emphasis on community based public library planning and evaluation should continue to be employed in the standards.

지난 100여년 동안 미국 대부분의 주에서는 공공도서관의 계획과 평가를 위한 도구로 도서관기준을 개발 보급해 왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 주(州)공공도서관기준의 유용성을 도서관의 계획과 평가에 중심적인 역할을 하는 공공도서관 관장들의 인식조사를 통하여 알아보았다. 주도서관기준이 개별 도서관의 계획과 평가활동에 유용한지, 유용하다면 기준 항목의 어느 영역이, 그리고 구체적으로 어떤 활동에 유용한지를 파악하였다 공공도서관 관장의 인식에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인들도 검토되었다. 연구결과 공공도서관장들이 도서관기준의 유용성을 도서관과 지역의 환경을 고려하여 이해하고 확인되었다. 그러므로 도서관기준의 개정시 지역사회를 기반으로 한 도서관의 계획과 봉사가 강조되어야 할 것이다.
