Abstract

The purpose of this study was to propose the developmental direction for small libraries based on a set of various situational analysis of small libraries in Seoul. By analyzing the operational status of the autonomous regions of different operating methods, we also pursued qualitative enhancement of small libraries by autonomous district by proposing optimized operation methods. As a consequence of the study, it was analyzed that the public and private libraries need to be distinguished in consideration of the characteristics of operation according to the operating entity rather than uniform budget support and guidance management. That is, the small libraries scattered throughout Seoul were founded by the principal of their establishment for the purpose of providing knowledge information and reading culture service within the public activity area. Therefore, if Seoul intervenes and manages under the current situation, where the libraries are operating independently in accordance with the purpose of establishment, regardless of whether they meet the user requirements or not in terms of quality or quantity, various problems may be caused. In this background, it seems appropriate to restrict the library management in line with relevant regulations.

본 연구에서는 서울시 작은도서관에 대한 각종 현황 분석을 기반으로 작은도서관의 발전방향을 제안하고자 하였다. 또한 운영방식이 상이한 자치구의 운영 실태를 분석함으로써 최적화된 운영방식을 제안하여 자치구별 작은도서관의 질적 제고를 도모하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 획일적인 예산지원 및 지도관리가 아니라 운영주체에 따른 운영 특성을 감안하여 공립과 사립이 구분되어야 할 것으로 분석되었다. 즉, 서울시에 산재된 작은도서관들은 각자의 설립주체에 의해 공중의 생활권역에서 지식정보 및 독서문화서비스의 제공을 주된 목적으로 설립 되었다. 따라서 질적인 면이나 양적인 면에서 이용자의 욕구 충족 여부를 떠나 설립 목적에 부합하게 자율적으로 운영되고 있는 현 상황에서 서울시가 인위적으로 개입하여 관리하려고 하다보면 여러 가지 문제점이 야기될 수 있으므로 관련 조례에 근거하여 제한적으로 관리하는 것이 적합할 것으로 보인다.
