Abstract

The purpose of this study is to derive implications by comparing and analyzing the North Korean Library Act both in 1999 and in 2012. In this study, the North Korean Library Act revised in 2012 compared to the previous North Korean Library Act in 1999, and the newly revised, deleted, and newly established items were analyzed by old/new phrase contrast method. While the North Korean Library Act revised in 1999 consisted of a total of 5 chapters and 45 articles, the North Korean Library Act revised in 2012 was reorganized into a total of 6 chapters and 58 articles. The main changes and features are the establishment and modification of provisions related to electronic libraries and electronic publications in accordance with changes in the information service environment, and new provisions related to training of library staff. Based on the analyzed results, the topics and fields that can be discussed in the future, such as mutual exchange of various learning contents for remote education, establishment of an information service cooperation system between South and North libraries, and training specialists on North Korean libraries.

본 연구의 목적은 1999년 개정(1998년 제정)된 북한도서관법과 2012년 재개정된 북한도서관법을 상호 비교 분석하여 북한도서관의 변화와 특징을 분석하는 데 있다. 본 연구는 2012년에 재개정된 북한도서관법이 이전 1999년 북한도서관법과 비교하여 수정, 삭제, 신설된 조문들은 무엇인지를 신·구조문 대비표 방식을 통해 분석하였다. 1999년 개정된 북한도서관법은 총 5장 45조로 구성된 반면, 2012년 재개정된 북한도서관법은 제2장의 내용이 신설되어, 총 6장 58조로 개편되었다. 주요 변화와 특징은 정보서비스 환경 변화에 따른 전자도서관과 전자출판물 관련 조문들이 신설, 수정되었고, 도서관 직원의 양성과 관련된 조문들이 신설되었다. 결론과 제언에서는 분석된 결과를 토대로 원격 교육을 위한 다양한 학습 콘텐츠의 상호교류, 남북 사서의 정보서비스 협력 체제 구축, 북한도서관 관련 전문 연구인력 양성 등 향후 남북한 도서관 간 교류협력에 있어서 상호 논의 가능한 주제와 분야를 논의하였다.
