Abstract

Universities contribute to the development of the country and society by cultivating professional manpower with knowledge and qualifications as democratic citizens through education and research activities. To this end, the government is improving the basic capabilities of universities and supporting autonomous innovation through university financial support projects. Since the financial support project differentially supports the government's finances limited to universities with a comparative advantage through fair evaluation, the role and function of the university library, a basic educational facility and core institution that supports education and research, is important. However, university libraries have not been able to actively participate in the government's financial support projects due to financial and manpower shortages, poor environments such as facilities, facilities, and spaces, and low participation rates for students. Therefore, this study investigated and analyzed the program operation cases of 18 university libraries in which libraries participated among 45 universities selected for the ACE project (2010-2016), derived problems and implications, and questioned the roles and achievements of university libraries. Based on the results, strategies and measures to be considered by university libraries in preparation for the government's university financial support projects were proposed.

대학은 교육 및 연구 활동을 통하여 민주시민으로서의 소양과 자질을 구비한 전문 인력을 양성하고 지식을 축적·창출하여 국가와 사회발전에 기여한다. 이를 위하여 정부는 대학재정지원사업을 통하여 대학의 기본 역량을 향상시키고 자율적 혁신을 지원하고 있다. 재정지원사업은 공정한 평가를 통하여 비교 우위에 있는 대학에 한정된 정부의 재정을 차등 지원하므로 대학의 경쟁력을 강화하기 위해서는 교육과 연구를 지원하는 교육기본시설이자 핵심기관인 대학도서관의 역할과 기능이 중요하다. 하지만 대학도서관은 재정 및 인력 부족, 시설·설비·공간 등의 열악한 환경, 학생들의 참여율 저조 등의 이유로 정부의 재정지원사업에 적극적으로 참여하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 ACE 사업(2010-2016)에 선정된 45개 대학 가운데 도서관이 참여한 18개 대학도서관의 프로그램 운영사례를 조사·분석하여 문제점과 시사점을 도출하고 담당 사서를 대상으로 대학도서관의 역할과 성과 등을 설문 조사하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 앞으로 정부의 대학재정지원사업에 대비하여 대학도서관이 고려해야 할 전략과 방안을 제안하였다.
