Abstract

The Beopmaru, Supreme Court Library of Korea, the national library of the judiciary, is the only one that can help reduce the justice gap and increase access to justice by allowing the general public and legal experts to read and circulate. Accordingly, this study identified user satisfaction with the Beopmaru public service through surveys and interviews and derived ways to improve the service. User satisfaction was in the following order out of 5 points: response of librarian 4.62 points, facility management 4.48 points, and cultural programs such as events and lectures 4.33 points. Satisfaction with collection composition was the lowest at 3.97 points. This appears to be because collection composition is where legal expertise has the greatest impact on satisfaction. As satisfaction with the collection composition was the lowest, collection expansion was the highest at 44%(114 people) as a service that Beopmaru needs to strengthen in the future, and a balanced collection of books according to the user base is needed in the future. Based on this, improvement measures were proposed to include dualizing the Beopmaru reading space and services for the general public and legal experts, strengthening its identity as a legal library, improving the system, and strengthening publicity and response of librarian. If the Beopmaru public service is successfully established through continuous research in the library and information community, it will be possible to improve the service quality of the law library industry as a whole, including law libraries, and increase user satisfaction.

일반 국민, 법률전문가 등이 재판 관련 자료를 열람·대출할 수 있도록 하여 사법격차를 줄이고 사법접근성을 높이는데 일조할 수 있는 것은 사법부 국립도서관인 법원도서관 법마루가 유일하다. 이에 본 연구는 설문조사와 면담을 통해 법원도서관 법마루 서비스에 대한 이용자 만족도를 파악하고 서비스 개선방안을 도출하였다. 이용자 만족도는 5점 만점에 직원응대 4.62점, 시설관리 4.48점, 행사 및 강좌 등 문화프로그램 4.33점 등의 순이었으며, 장서구성 만족도가 3.97점으로 가장 낮았다. 이는 법 전문성이 만족도에 영향을 가장 크게 주는 부분이 장서구성이기 때문으로 보인다. 장서구성에 대한 만족도가 가장 낮았던 만큼 앞으로 법마루가 강화해야 할 서비스 역시 장서확충이 44%(114명)로 가장 높았으며, 향후 이용자층에 따른 균형 있는 장서 수집이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 개선방안으로는 일반 국민과 법률전문가의 법원도서관 법마루 열람 공간 및 서비스 이원화, 법률 전문도서관으로서의 정체성 강화, 시스템 개선, 홍보 및 직원응대 강화 등을 제시하였다. 지속적인 문헌정보학계의 연구를 통해 법원도서관 법마루 서비스가 성공적으로 정착된다면 법학전문도서관을 비롯한 법학도서관계 전반의 서비스 품질을 향상시키고 이용자 만족도를 증대시킬 수 있을 것이다.
