Abstract

This study was to suggest the improvement and the application of KDC 6 for classifying children's books by the literature review and survey. First, it was suggested to shorten the classification numbers by the divisions and subdivisions and to expand the classification numbers by sub-subdivisions according to the library-specific classification policy, using the subject statistics of the children's books held by 20 public libraries affiliated in Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and representative C libraries. Second, the knowledge picture books and the fairy tales were suggested to be classified according to its subject, and the fairy tales in each country were suggested to be classified by adding sub-subdivisions and genre subdivisions. Third, it was suggested to shelve by collection and location codes that were distinguished by the ages and the reading level for user, to prepare a standard guideline for shelving, and to implement the regular user education about the classification system. This study could contribute to the development of the KDC abridged version for children's books in the future.

본 연구는 어린이도서 분류를 위한 KDC 6판의 개선 및 적용 방안을 마련하고자 문헌연구 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 첫째, 어린이도서의 KDC 간략화 및 세분전개 방안으로 서울시교육청 20개 도서관 및 대표적인 C 도서관이 소장한 어린이도서 주제별 통계 분포를 바탕으로 중분류, 소분류로 간략화 할 분야를 제시하고, 세분화 전개가 필요한 항목은 도서관별 분류지침을 적용하여 확장할 것을 제안하였다. 둘째, 지식그림책과 동화는 내용과 주제에 따라 각 해당항목에 분류하고, 각 나라의 동화는 세목 추가 및 장르 구분을 추가하여 특정 기호에 편중된 자료를 분산시킬 것을 제시하였다. 셋째, 이용자를 위해 연령별, 독서수준별에 따른 배가 방안과 이를 위한 가이드라인의 배포, 분류와 관련한 이용자 교육 실시를 제안하였다. 본 연구는 향후 KDC 6판 개정 시 어린이도서의 간략판 개발 마련에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
