Abstract

This study investigates the operation status of Special Schools' School Library and suggests policy implications after comparing with the School Library. As a result of the study, compared with general schools by region and school establishment, special schools are lacking in collection, budget, reading seats and usage. The number of collections per student in special schools is 57.9, the number of loans is 10.8, while the number of general schools is 96.7 and 29.6. The budget is about 30% of general schools, more than 90% of general schools have more than 20 seats, while Special Schools are only 75 (42.9%). There is not one volume of use compared to the collection. There are 47 schools (26.8%) with specialized staff, and only 20 schools have librarian licenses. Therefore, in order to revitalize the school library of special schools, it is necessary to cooperate with related organizations with disabilities in the local community, to expand collections, to have professional librarians and to improve the facilities environment.

본 연구는 유명무실하게 존재하는 특수학교 학교도서관의 운영 실태를 일반학교 학교도서관과 비교 분석하고 정책적 시사점을 제언하고자 한다. 연구결과, 지역별, 학교 설립별 일반학교와 비교했을 때 특수학교는 장서, 예산, 열람좌석,이용 측면에서 현저하게 미흡한 수준이다. 특수학교의 학생 1인당 장서 수는 57.9권, 대출자료 수는 10.8권인 반면 일반학교는 96.7권 29.6권이다. 예산은 특수학교가 일반학교의 30% 수준이며, 일반학교의 90%이상이 20석 이상의 열람좌석 수를 보유한 반면, 특수학교는 75개교(42.9%)에 불과하다. 소장 장서 대비 이용량에서도 채 1권도 되지 않는 수준이다. 특수학교 학교도서관 운영을 위한 전담직원이 있는 학교는 47개교(26.8%)이며, 사서자격증을 보유하고 있는 학교는 20개교에 불과하다. 따라서 특수학교의 학교도서관 활성화를 위해서는 지역사회 장애인 기관과의 협력, 기본적인 장서와 전담인력, 시설환경 개선이 필요하다.
