Abstract

One of the fundamental roles of libraries is to provide users with efficient and easy retrieval of materials. Various discussions have been made at domestic and abroad to improve the accessibility of materials by category, user, and collection, and at the center of this is the issue of improving classification and cataloging systems. However, there are few studies in this area dealing with the data accessibility of the DLS catalog, which is a central tool for accessing domestic school library materials. This study started from the appeal of school library users to the difficulty of searching and accessing books, especially literature. This study is an exploratory study that attempts to derive problems by finding the causes of there difficulties from various aspects. To this study, we surveyed and analyzed the current status of school library collections, the data registration of the school library support system DLS, the subject accessibility of catalog records produced through this, and the recognition and opinions of school library professionals. As a result, school library collections were highly concentrated in the literature field, and it was found that there was not enough catalog bibliographic records to provide efficient access to these collections. In addition, it was found to be somewhat lacking through the DLS search function to compensate for this. Surveys of school librarians and librarians have also identified this problem, and a rich topic index and search keyword assignments have been drawn to the majority of opinions as a way to improve access to materials in school library catalogs. As a continuous discussion on this subject, the plan for improving access to school library materials will be more concrete through future user studies and new challenges for bookshelf classification.

도서관의 기본적인 서비스 중 하나는 이용자에게 자료에 대한 효율적이고 쉬운 검색을 제공하는 것이다. 국내·외적으로 관종별, 이용자별, 장서별 자료의 접근성 향상을 위한 다양한 논의들이 있었고, 그 중심에 분류와 목록 시스템의 개선에 관한 이슈가 존재한다. 하지만 국내 학교도서관 자료 접근의 중심도구가 되는 DLS 목록의 자료 접근성을 다루는 이 분야 연구는 많지 않다. 본 연구는 학교도서관 현장에서 제기되어온 이용자들의 도서 검색, 특히 문학 분야 도서 검색과 접근에 대한 어려움에서 시작하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 어려움의 원인을 다양한 측면에서 고찰해 보고자한 탐색적 연구이다. 이를 위해 학교도서관 장서 현황, 학교도서관 지원시스템 DLS의 자료 등록과 이를 통해 생산된 목록레코드의 주제 접근가능성, 학교도서관 사서교사 및 사서의 의견을 조사·분석하였다. 연구 결과, 학교도서관 장서는 문학 분야에 상당히 집중되어 있었고, 이들 장서 검색에 효율적인 접근을 제공할 수 있는 목록레코드 작성은 충분하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이를 보완할 수 있는 DLS 검색 기능 역시 다소 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 학교도서관 사서교사 및 사서들의 설문조사에서도 이런 문제점은 인식되었고 학교도서관 목록의 자료 접근성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법으로 풍부한 주제 색인과 검색키워드 부여가 다수의 의견으로 도출되었다. 이 주제에 대한 계속적인 논의로서 학교도서관 자료의 접근성 향상을 위한 방안은 향후 이용자 연구나, 서가 분류에 대한 새로운 도전 등을 통해 더욱 구체화 될 수 있을 것이다.
