Abstract

Through the UN 2030 Agenda adopted by the United Nations, sustainable development is bringing about many changes around the world. While discussions continue on the roles of libraries in supporting sustainable development in library communities, specific discussions on this have not been made enough. This study reconsidered the roles and functions of libraries to support sustainable development and discussed approaches to which libraries can perform in terms of informational, social, cultural, and environmental aspects. It also proposed a plan to allow libraries and librarians to lay the groundwork for supporting the sustainable development of society by reconsidering the roles of librarians as the core of all library activities to support sustainable development.

United Nations(UN)이 채택한 UN 2030 의제를 통해서 지속가능한 발전(sustainable development)은 전 세계적으로 많은 변화를 이끌어 내고 있다. 도서관계에서도 지속가능한 발전을 지원하기 위한 도서관의 역할에 대해 논의가 계속해서 이어지고 있지만, 이와 관련된 구체적인 방향이 명확하게 설정되지는 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지속가능한 발전을 지원하기 위한 도서관의 역할 및 기능을 재고찰하고, 이를 위해 도서관이 수행할 수 있는 방안을 정보적, 사회적, 문화적, 환경적 측면에서 논의하였다. 또한 지속가능한 발전을 지원하기 위한 모든 도서관 활동의 중심에 자리 잡고 있는 사서의 역할을 재고찰함으로써 도서관과 사서가 사회의 지속가능한 발전을 수행하기 위한 토대를 마련할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다.
