Abstract

Regardless of East and West, public libraries provide various services to their communities based on collections. The decisive reason for local residents to visit public libraries is to access and borro w collections. An important condition maintenance to support these activities and services is the library circulation(usage) rules. Therefore, this study compared and analyzed the library membership, maximum loan items, loan period, loan reserve and renewal, overdue fines, disposal of lost and damaged items, loan of non-book materials, loan regulations for the disabled. And after checking the relative deviations in connection with the library cases of major developed countries, this study proposed the improvement of circulation rules. In order to minimize public complaints about circulation services and to relieve the burden of practitioners such as personnel disadvantage due to administrative audit for non-recoverable ite ms, public libraries must faithfully rearrange the circulation rules and regulations.

동서양을 불문하고 공공도서관은 장서를 기반으로 지역사회에 다양한 서비스를 제공한다. 지역주민이 공공도서관을 방문하는 결정적인 이유도 자료의 열람과 대출에 있다. 이러한 행위와 서비스를 지원하기 위한 중요한 조건정비가 대출(이용)규정이다. 이에 본 연구는 전국 공공도서관의 대출규정 중에서 회원자격, 대출권수, 대출기간, 예약과 갱신, 재대출, 대출연체에 대한 제재, 분실·파오손 도서의 처리, 비도서자료 대출여부, 사회적 약자인 장애인에 관한 규정을 발췌하여 권역별로 비교·분석하였다, 그리고 주요 선진국의 도서관 사례와 연계하여 상대적 편차를 확인한 후 공공도서관 대출규정의 개선안을 제시하였다. 공공도서관이 대출서비스에 대한 민원과 불만을 최소화하고 회수불능 자료에 대한 감사와 불이익 등 실무자 부담을 해소하려면 대출규정을 충실하게 재정비해야 한다.
