Abstract

As makerspaces continue to be introduced in academic libraries in Korea, this study explores potential operating strategies of, and long-term justifications for, makerspaces as digital literacy eduational spaces and services at academic libraries. By examining related literature reviews and case studies of makerspaces, this study analyzes various programs and their respective creation, funding, development, and outcomes, including educational value and library-specific goals such as digital literacy and lifelong learning. This study also considers the perspectives of librarians at academic libraries in Korea who were asked about the purpose, impact, and limitations of makerspaces. Certain common themes appear: for example, it is necessary for makerspaces to resolve challenges related to stable funding, as well as staffing and training of professional librarians assisting with the on-the-ground operation of makerspaces. This study proposes that designing makerspaces for an academic library setting goes deeper than providing a collaborative environment with access to new technologies like 3D printers and laser cutters, and it may be uniquely appropriate to draw connections to libraries' objectives to provide digital literacy education and universities' mission to foster innovation and creativity among students.

본 연구에서는 국내 대학도서관 메이커스페이스 도입의 초기 단계인 현 시점에서 메이커스페이스가 대학도서관의 지속가능한 디지털리터러시 교육 공간 및 서비스로 발전하기 위한 운영방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내외 대학도서관 메이커스페이스와 관련된 문헌 및 사례조사를 통해 다양한 프로그램 개발, 재정지원, 교육 효과 및 디지털리터러시와 평생학습 등의 도서관 목적과의 연계성 등을 검토하였다. 또한 국내 대학도서관 사서를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 대학도서관 메이커스페이스의 필요성, 효과성, 활용성에 대한 사서의 인식 등을 조사 분석하였다. 이를 통해 대학도서관의 메이커스페이스가 단순한 3D 프린터, 레이저 커터 등의 새로운 기기를 제공하는 창조 및 협업공간을 넘어 메이커스페이스의 구축이 대학도서관의 디지털리터러시 교육 목표에 어떻게 부합되는지의 이슈와 더 나아가서 대학의 근원적 사명인 '창의적인 인재 양성'이란 교육적 사명과 연계할 수 있는 운영방안이 제시되었다.
