Abstract

Today, public libraries are contributing deeply to our society by strengthening their ability and services to identify and respond to users' needs through various programs. However, it is difficult to find a study that analyzed the research status of public library programs or changes over time. Therefore, for the purpose of systematically grasping research trends in the field of overseas public library programs, an intellectual structure analysis based on keyword profiling was performed. Specifically, subject terms analysis, network analysis and cluster analysis, and analysis by period/year were performed based on the controlled keywords (subject terms) of journal articles papers searched in the LISTA database. As a result, first, it was found that 9 subjects corresponding to all global/hot/local topics are leading the research in the field of overseas public library programs. Second, five research areas in the field of overseas public library programs(cultural programs, outreach programs, activity programs, public services, community) could be visualized and clearly identified. Third, research in the field of overseas public library programs began in earnest in the late 1990s and was active from the mid-2000s to the early 2010s, and after that, it was found to be somewhat stagnant until recently. This study is the result of specifically identifying research trends on programs that recently emerged as a major task of public libraries, and can be used as basic data and prior knowledge to explore the development direction of public library programs in the future.

오늘날 공공도서관은 다양한 프로그램을 통해 이용자의 요구를 파악하고 대응하기 위한 능력과 서비스를 강화하면서 우리사회에 깊이 기여하고 있다. 그러나 공공도서관 프로그램의 연구 현황이나 시간의 흐름에 따른 변화를 분석한 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서 국외 공공도서관 프로그램 분야의 연구 동향을 체계적으로 파악하기 위한 목적으로, 키워드 프로파일링에 기초한 지적구조 분석을 수행하였다. 구체적으로 LISTA 데이터베이스에서 검색한 학술지 논문의 통제키워드(주제어)에 기초하여 주제어 분석, 네트워크 분석 및 군집 분석, 시기별/연도별 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과로 첫째, 전역·인기·지역주제에 모두 해당하는 9개 주제들이 국외 공공도서관 프로그램 분야의 연구를 주도하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 국외 공공도서관 프로그램 분야의 5개 연구 영역(문화 프로그램, 아웃리치 프로그램, 활동 프로그램, 공공서비스, 지역사회)을 시각화하여 명확하게 식별할 수 있었다. 셋째, 국외 공공도서관 프로그램 분야의 연구는 1990년대 후반에 본격적으로 시작되어 2000년대 중반부터 2010년대 초반까지 활성화되었고, 그 이후 최근까지는 다소 정체된 상황에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 최근 공공도서관의 주요 업무로 부상한 프로그램에 대한 연구 동향을 구체적으로 규명한 결과로서, 향후 공공도서관 프로그램의 발전 방향을 모색할 수 있는 기초적인 데이터 및 사전 지식으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
