Abstract

This study aims at exploring the Eco-generation's perception on public libraries depending on the use of cultural programs. For this purpose, a series of in-depth interviews was conducted with public library users in the Eco-generation in order to investigated the current status of the cultural programs in public libraries and their underlying identity. The results identifies that user experience of library cultural programs did not make a meaningful difference in users' perceptions on public libraries. Furthermore, there was no meaningful difference in the perceptions on cultural programs between public libraries and other cultural organizations. A possible explaining factor to the results based on the interviews and existing research reports was identified as the lack of identity in the library cultural programs. Consequently, further studies on public libraries' identity, cooperation between research and practice in public libraries, discussion with cultural organizations in the library district, and considerations in public policy are suggested in order to strengthen the identity in the library cultural programs.

본 연구는 에코 세대를 대상으로 공공도서관 문화프로그램 이용 및 인식이 공공도서관에 대한 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 탐색하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 에코 세대 공공도서관 이용자를 대상으로 한 심층 면담 및 그 분석을 통해 문화프로그램 운영 실태를 파악하고 그 기저에서 드러나는 공공도서관의 정체성을 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 문화프로그램 비이용자와 이용자 간의 공공도서관에 대한 인식에는 큰 차이가 없으며, 도서관의 문화프로그램이 타 기관의 프로그램과 차별성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상에 대한 가능성 높은 원인으로 도서관 문화프로그램의 도서관 정체성의 결여가 지목되었다. 따라서 문화프로그램의 도서관 정체성 강화를 위한 향후 연구, 도서관 현장과 학계의 협력, 지역 내 문화 관련 기관과의 협의 및 정책관점에서 고려사항을 제시하였다.
