This study attempted to analyze the collection management process and its requirements for public libraries. The survey was designed to examine the detailed collection management guidelines and to grasp its requirements varying across different types of public libraries. The respondents to the survey were librarians who are responsible for managing collections in public libraries which achieved excellence in the 2008 nationwide library management assessment. The study results indicated that most public libraries do not have organized collection management guidelines covering the whole collection management area. In addition, small libraries such as those in hospitals, armies, and prisons have difficulties in managing collections since they do not have proper collection management guidelines.

도서관의 기본적인 목적은 지식의 생산 전달 및 사회에 대한 봉사이다. 도서관은 장서 및 정보봉사를 통해 이러한 목적을 달성하는데 기여하는 것이 필수적인 구성요소이다. 이런 목표를 달성하기 위해 장서의 질을 개선함으로써 이용자서비스의 질을 한층 더 향상시키기 위해 장서폐기가 필요하다. 하지만 현재 우리 도서관계에서는 장서 폐기의 중요성을 어느 정도 인식하고 있지만 회피하는 경향이 있다. 이러한 이유로 각 도서관별 장서의 양에 따라 도서관의 순위를 매기는 정책 요인과 실무 요인, 행정 요인 등이 있다. 결국 장서폐기에 대한 필요성은 인식하고 있지만 쉽게 실천을 못하는 실정이다. 장서폐기는 부족한 서고 공간 문제에 대한 해결책이 될 수 있을 뿐 아니라 장서의 품질관리를 위해서도 필수적인 활동이다. 따라서 장서폐기에 대한 필요성과 그에 따르는 저해요인을 분석함으로써 현실적인 도서관 관리를 재조명하고자 한다.

급변하는 도서관 내외의 정보 환경 변화에 따라 미래 도서관은 지식 수집과 정보 제공이라는 본연의 역할을 더욱 강화하는 방향으로 나아갈 것인지, 아니면 디지털 기술과 인터넷을 통한 정보 공유가 도서관 무용론으로 이어질 것인지 그 어느 때보다 커다란 도전에 직면해 있다 할 것이다. 기존의 도서관 장서가 전자책(e-book), 전자저널 등 디지털 매체로 대체되고 있으며, 디지털도서관 프로젝트에 의한 자료의 접근환경이 변화하는 상황에서 미래 도서관에서 장서의 변화를 조망하고 그 대응 전략을 살펴보고자 한다.

This study attempts to investigate the current stage of collection development process in small libraries through case study to eleven small libraries in Yeongnam region. Library collection is the primary element of a library and collection development is the starting point of librarians' duty. The researcher recognized the problems observed in collection development process in the case small libraries and discovered the widespread obstacles restraining the future development. Through the visits and observations, aging book collections, lack of diversity in the form of materials acquired, imbalance in subject distribution, and the imbalance in circulation are identified. Suggestions are to be added: collection development duty can not be fulfilled without proper support by local governments. While small libraries penetrate into peoples' territory, Public libraries should seek to enhance and improve their service orientation as well as a cooperative network with these small libraries.

In Korea, more than half of medical libraries are small.sized hospital libraries operated under the single.librarian system, and it is keenly required to establish collection management policies for exchanging resources with other libraries and maintaining consistency. however, it is rare to set up their collection management policies on the web among the domestic medical libraries. Thus, this study purposed to survey cases of collection management policies in domestic and foreign medical libraries and to provide basic information and ideas for Korean medical libraries that are preparing collection management policies. As long as core requirements are satisfied, collection management policies do not have a way. Thus, this case study is expected to provide useful ideas to medical libraries developing their collection management policies. For this purpose, we selected 12 survey items based on previous studies, and investigated one domestic and five foreign medical libraries, and analyzed collected data. Based on the results of analyzing the cases, we suggested 12 guidelines.

The purpose of this study is to propose the importance of responding to the increasing issues related to collection management surrounding school libraries by analyzing the status of collection management policies (CMP) at the school libraries. Accordingly, through literature research, the main contents of the composition of the CMP for children and adolescent users were analyzed. Based on this, a 50 questions questionnaire was conducted and analyzed on the status of the CMP and the composition of the contents of the CMP for 93 school library managers nationwide. As a result, first, the data used as the selecting collections priority selection criteria were curriculum-related and recommended book lists rather than CMP. Second, 31 out of 93 school libraries (33.3%) had with CMP. Third, the understanding and necessity of the CMP of the school library manager with the CMP were higher. Fourth, it was found that more than half of the components of the CMP did not include the renewal cycle, intellectual freedom, etc.

If you can not pinpoint the location of a desired item through union catalogs and online databases, the next best thing is to identify a special collection that is likely to have it. Many libraries have many items that are recorded only on their own premises as special collections. This paper describes the value of special collections as important information sources and the guides for determining the existence and location of special collections. Women's collection development by KWIC is introduced as a case study of special collection building in the university libraries in Korea.
