Abstract

This study analyzed the Beopmaru, Supreme Court Library of Korea, circulation data to identify user lending patterns and proposed a plan to reflect the analysis results in future user services. In 2022, Beopmaru's collection of books was 212,608, with law books accounting for 73%. However, general books accounted for 83% of actual circulation. Looking at the usage coefficient by topic, the literature field was the most actively used at 5.85, and the law field was the least used at 0.23. In the case of interlibrary loan, both KERIS member institutions and the Korean Bar Association had the highest loan ratios in the legal field, civil law field, and judicial litigation procedure field, in that order. However, member institutions affiliated with KERIS, a legal academic community, were lending law books on a wider range of subject areas than the Korean Bar Association, a practical organization. To improve access to legal information, the Beopmaru public service was implemented, but in reality, the use of reading space was high, and the proportion of general books loaned was much higher. In order to improve this, it seems necessary to strengthen the promotion of Beopmaru loan services, provide personalized services, improve book lending regulations, strengthen online services, and establish a cooperative network.

본 연구는 법원도서관 법마루 도서대출 데이터를 분석하여 이용자 대출 패턴을 파악하고 분석 결과를 향후 이용자 서비스에 반영하는 방안을 제안하였다. 2022년 법마루의 소장 도서는 212,608권이었으며, 법률서가 73%를 차지하고 있었다. 그러나 실제 대출은 일반서가 83%의 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 주제별 이용계수를 살펴보면 문학 분야가 5.85로 가장 활발히 이용되고 있었고 법학 분야가 0.23으로 가장 저조하게 이용되고 있었다. 상호대차의 경우, KERIS 가입 회원기관과 대한변호사협회 모두 제법 분야, 민법 분야, 사법소송절차 분야 순으로 대출 비율이 높았다. 다만, 법학계인 KERIS 가입 회원기관이 실무계인 대한변호사협회에 비해 더 다양한 주제 분야의 법률서를 대출하고 있었다. 법률정보의 접근권 향상을 위해 법마루 대국민 대출서비스를 시행했지만 실제로는 열람 공간의 이용이 높았고, 대출 역시 일반서의 비중이 월등히 높다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 법마루 대출 서비스 홍보 강화 및 개인화 서비스 제공, 도서대출 규정 정비 온라인서비스 강화 및 협력네트워크 구축 등이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
