Abstract

The purpose of the research is to discuss the directions of university library services development applying virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies and contents. In order to achieve the goal, the research investigated university librarians' awareness and demands regarding to applying VR/AR technologies and contents to university library services. The following questions are asked via online survey method to university librarians: what kinds of necessity and awareness about VR/AR technologies they have, what kinds of competency and environment (infrastructure) are required for the services, and how to conduct continuing education for service development, etc. On the basis of the survey results, the research suggested the matters to be noted when applying VR/AR technologies and contents to university library services. Furthermore, the contents and strategies to be considered and prepared when developing a library program using VR/AR technologies and contents were discussed and follow-up research topics were suggested.

본 연구는 가상·증강현실(VR/AR) 기술과 콘텐츠를 활용한 대학도서관 서비스 개발 및 운영 방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 가상·증강현실과 관련된 기술 및 콘텐츠를 도서관 서비스에 접목하여 활용하는 것에 대해 현재 대학도서관 사서들이 가지고 있는 인식정도와 요구사항을 조사하였다. 차세대 지능정보기술을 적용한 도서관 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 현재 대학도서관 사서들은 가상·증강현실 기술과 콘텐츠에 대해 어떤 경험과 지식을 가지고 있는지, 이 기술들을 활용한 도서관 정보서비스에 대해 어떠한 인식과 필요성을 갖고 있는지, 서비스를 위해 사서에게 필요한 역량과 환경(인프라)은 무엇인지, 서비스 운영을 위한 교육은 어떻게 진행되어야 하는지를 조사하였다. 이 조사결과가 시사하는 바를 분석하여 가상·증강현실 기술 및 콘텐츠를 대학 도서관 서비스에 적용할 때 유의해야 할 사항과 프로그램 개발을 위해 고려하고 준비해야 할 내용과 전략들을 논의하였다.
