This study aims to analyze the current status of library automation systems and explore future directions for improvement. The study was conducted by surveying librarians at institutions participating in the KESLI and KCUE consortia to investigate the current status and satisfaction with library automation systems, and the current status and awareness of open source-based library automation systems. The study found that most automation systems currently in use in libraries were developed through outsourcing in the 2000s or 2010s, and that more than 50% of respondents were satisfied with the overall library automation system. Overall satisfaction was found to be influenced by satisfaction with the functionality, customer support services and construction and operational management of the system. Most current library automation systems are not based on open source software or cloud services, but the intention to use them in the future is high, with more than 40% of respondents saying they would use them within three years. This study is expected to serve as an important foundation for building an open source-based library automation system in the future.

이용자 개인의 정보요구 및 이용자 정보를 적극 활용하여 이용자 만족도를 극대화 하고자 하는 CRM(Customer Relationship Management)은 도서관계에도 시사하는 바가 크다. 현재 도서관자동화 시스템을 기반으로 도서관 업무가 수행되고 있는 만큼 CRM 시스템과 연계하여 도서관자동화 시스템의 기능을 향상시킨다면 도서관 서비스의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해서는 이용자중심 서비스로의 전환을 위한 업무의 재구성이 필요하고, CRM과 연계하여 기존 자동화시스템을 보완하여야 할 것이며, 아울러 이용자 개인의 다양한 정보요구를 만족시키려는 도서관 사서의 적극적인 서비스 자세가 조직문화로 정착되는 것이 병행되어야 할 것이다.
