Abstract

This study aims to examine the current status of managing elementary school libraries in Busan and suggest the ways to improve it with the viewpoint of 'the five laws of library science'. The scope of study was set as the elementary school libraries in Busan, and the operation status of 304 elementary school libraries was analyzed. And for in-depth investigation, D elementary school library was examined as a case. The operation status of elementary school libraries in Busan was analyzed with the analysis elements; existence of school library, placement of teacher librarian, library collection, annual use, budget, and library seats for 6 years from 2016 to 2021. As a result, especially the placement rate of full-time teacher librarians was only 10.5%, indicating that the problem of manpower shortage was serious. As case study, the current state of managing D elementary school library was deeply investigated with perspectives of the first law and the third law of library science among Ranganathan's five laws of library science. With the first law, the investigation was divided into the aspects of open-shelf system, library location, library hours, furniture, and staff. With the third law, the investigation was done as the aspects of shelf arrangement, catalog, extended service, book selection. Especially, books with more than 50 copies for the program of reading one book each semester accounted for 4.8% of the total collection, showing the problem of unbalanced collection. As the result of this study, 'expanding the placement of teacher librarians', 'making better reading environment through remodeling', and 'balanced collection development' were suggested as the ways of developing school libraries.

이 연구의 목적은 도서관학 5법칙을 통하여 초등학교 도서관 운영의 현황을 살펴보고 그 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 연구의 범위를 부산지역으로 하여 초등학교 도서관 304곳의 운영 현황을 분석하였고, 심층조사를 위하여 부산의 D초등학교 도서관을 사례로 살펴보았다. 부산지역 초등학교 도서관의 운영 현황은 2016~2021년 동안의 도서관 보유, 사서교사 배치, 장서, 연간 이용, 예산, 좌석 등으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 특히 정규직 사서교사 배치율이 10.5%에 불과해 인력 부족 문제가 심각함이 드러났다. 사례연구에서는 랑가나단의 도서관학 5법칙 중 제1법칙과 제3법칙을 중심으로 부산 D초등학교 도서관 운영 현황을 조사하였다. 제1법칙에서는 열람방식, 입지, 이용시간, 가구, 직원의 측면으로 나누어 조사하였고, 제3법칙에서는 서가배열, 목록, 확장봉사, 도서선택 측면으로 나누어 조사하였다. 특히 한 학기 한 권 읽기용 도서로 50권 이상 복본이 있는 도서가 전체 장서의 4.8%를 차지하여 불균형한 장서 구성의 문제를 보였다. 연구의 결과, 개선방안으로 '사서교사 배치 확대', '리모델링을 통한 독서환경 구축', '균형 잡힌 장서개발'을 제시하였다.
