Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish the concept of theme collection in the library, to clarify the reality of the theme collection operation. This study was to set up methodology for constructing and operating the theme collection in the future and to provide implications for future development. For this purpose, this study conducted in-depth interviews with a total of 12 directors and librarians from four public libraries. The results of the analysis revealed that the theme collection can be built and function properly with a solid understanding of its collection, users and community, and sharing its services goals and orientations. In addition, it was found that the task of constructing a theme collection contributes to the establishment of the identity of the librarian, and it is interrelated with the various library works. Finally, a comprehensive model of current theme collections was discussed.

본 연구는 도서관에서 이루어지는 테마 컬렉션의 개념을 정립하고, 테마 컬렉션 운영의 실제를 밝혀 향후 테마 컬렉션 구축과 운영을 위한 방법론 설정 및 향후 발전을 위한 시사점을 제공하고자 하는 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 서울 경기지역 공공도서관 네 곳의 관장 및 테마 컬렉션 담당 사서 총 12명을 대상으로 심층면담을 수행하였다. 분석의 결과, 테마 컬렉션은 자관의 장서와 이용자 및 커뮤니티에 대해 충실하게 이해하고, 자관의 서비스 목표와 지향을 공유한 상태에서 제대로 구축되고 기능할 수 있음을 밝혔다. 또한 테마 컬렉션 구축 업무는 사서 개인의 정체성 확립에 기여하는 면이 있으며, 기존의 도서관 업무 경계를 넘나드는 상호 연계된 성격을 지녔음을 파악하였다. 마지막으로 테마 컬렉션 구축 및 운영을 위해서 참조할 수 있는 현행 테마 컬렉션의 종합적인 모형을 제시하고 이의 의의와 향후 과제를 논하였다.
