Abstract

The general or separate reading room in domestic public libraries is a space that represents Korea's unique characteristics that are rarely found in advanced cultural countries. If it is an indispensable space for residents of the community, all public libraries should install and operate it. Otherwise, the general reading room of existing public libraries should be reduced or improved and the new library needs strategic thinking about its installation. Therefore, this study analysed the operation status and major issues of the general reading room, and then suggested the direction based on the survey and comparison of the recognition of the general reading room for the staff (librarian) and the users. The results can contribute not only to the ongoing debate on the general reading room, which is the central theme of discussion of local public goods, but also to find desirable alternatives.

국내 공공도서관이 설치 운영하는 일반열람실은 문화선진국에 거의 존재하지 않는 한국적 특수성을 대변하는 공간이다. 그것이 지역주민을 위한 필수공간이라면 모든 공공도서관이 설치 운영해야 한다. 그렇지 않다면 기존 공공도서관은 일반열람실의 축소 내지 개선방안을 마련하고 신축도서관은 설치여부를 전략적으로 고민할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 일반열람실 운영현황 및 주요 쟁점을 분석한 후에 직원(사서) 및 이용자를 대상으로 일반열람실에 대한 인식도를 조사 비교하여 방향성을 제시하였다. 이 연구결과는 지방공공재 논의의 중심적 테마인 일반열람실 문제에 대한 지속적인 논의에 단초를 제공하고 바람직한 대안을 강구하는데 기여할 수 있다.
