As a conclusion, this study suggests reinforcement of basics and value marketing, space marketing, blue ocean marketing as library marketing strategies for providing sustainable services. This study can be used as a reference for academic libraries and librarians to sustain or extend library services. The marketing strategies suggested in this paper can be helpful for academic libraries to overcome pandemic crisis in Korea.

이 연구의 목적은 COVID19이라는 팬데믹 재난 상황에 직면한 국내 대학도서관이 지속가능한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 도서관마케팅 전략을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 국내외 대학도서관들에 대한 자료를 수집하고 비교하였다. 자료조사를 위하여 국내 대학도서관의 경우 발전계획 문서를 수집하고 도서관 홈페이지를 분석하였고, 외국 대학도서관의 경우 도서관 홈페이지를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 팬데믹 상황에 직면한 국내외 대학도서관이 기존의 서비스를 지속하거나 조정하고 새로운 서비스를 전개하는 양상을 분석하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 국내외 대학도서관들은 전지구적 전염병 확산이라는 재난 상황에서도 도서관의 장서, 시설, 서비스, 프로그램을 이용자들이 단절되지 않고 이용할 수 있도록 다각도의 대책을 강구하고 서비스를 지속하고 있음을 발견하였다. 연구의 결과, 뉴노멀시대 대학도서관의 지속가능한 서비스 제공을 위한 마케팅전략으로 기본의 강화와 가치마케팅 전략, 공간마케팅 전략, 블루오션 마케팅 전략을 제시하였다. 이 연구의 의의는 국내 대학도서관과 사서들이 도서관이 팬데믹 위기 상황을 극복하고 서비스를 지속하거나 확대할 수 있는 도서관마케팅 전략을 제시하였다는 점이다. 후속연구로 뉴노멀 시대에서의 국내외 대학도서관이 개발하는 서비스 및 프로그램 사례에 대한 심층 분석, 뉴노멀시대 대학도서관의 서비스 안정을 위한 주제별 도서관 마케팅 심화 전략 개발에 대한 연구 등이 필요하다.
