Abstract

This research empirically analyzed the effect of information sharing through the use of public libraries on the construction and consolidation of social capital of individuals. Through the survey targeting public library users, it was identified that the frequency of public library use and the participation of public library programs have positive effect on the recognition of information sharing and the reliability of information shared. In addition, information sharing among people became more active when public libraries mediate their information activities. This public library-mediated information sharing positively affects the construction of structural and relational social capital. In contrast, it does not have significant meaning on the construction of cognitive social capital, which means that information sharing and the use of public library relatively concentrate on satisfying personal information needs.

본 연구에서는 공공도서관의 이용을 통한 정보의 공유가 각 개인의 사회자본을 형성하고 강화하는데 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 공공도서관 이용자를 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 분석한 결과, 공공도서관의 이용 빈도가 높고 공공도서관 프로그램에의 참여가 높을수록 정보공유에 대한 인식도와 공유된 정보에 대한 신뢰도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 사람들 사이의 정보공유는 공공도서관 이용을 매개로 했을 때 보다 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 이는 각 개인의 구조적, 관계적 사회자본에 전반적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 공공도서관의 이용을 통한 정보공유가 인지적 사회자본의 형성에는 상대적으로 큰 역할을 수행하지는 못하는 것으로 나타나, 공공도서관의 이용 및 정보의 공유가 개인적인 정보요구를 충족시키는데 집중되는 것으로 분석되었다.
