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.

This study attempted to discover the problems related to the increasing book disposal trend within academic libraries by analyzing the disposal status over ten years and interviews with the librarians. The analysis utilized Korea Education and Research Information Service provided disposal information from 2010 to 2019. The academic libraries with more than 2 million books had disposed of the most number of books. This trend led to a distinctive decrease in the books' duplicate copies in terms of the collection composition. The librarians from the organizations, which conducted disposal more than three times and one massive removal within ten years, revealed in the interviews that they discarded many valuable duplicate books. They discussed the importance of digitizing high-value resources and also the limitation imposed by the copyright law. In conclusion, this study pointed out that book disposal can cause changes in the collection composition in the long run and suggested that academic libraries pay attention to these changes. The study also suggested evaluating the discarded books' values to guide the digitization efforts and count the number of books to include digital book use rights.

Public Libraries in Seoul have been steadily increasing their numbers from 4 libraries in 2004 to 15 libraries in 2009. On the contrary, the size of recently established public libraries have been reduced compared to the previous ones. Because of their limited space, which cannot manage increasing collection, public libraries started collection disposal. This research investigated public libraries' disposal standards and present conditions of collection items. Based on this investigation, enhance way of the collection disposal was suggested.

The purpose of this study is to propose the efficient and reasonable weeding model of the scientific literature by measuring a life-span of literatures in the field of nuclear engineering through citation analysis, the average life of actually discarded literatures in the KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute), and the life of use through the circulation data analysis from 1992 to 1994 of KAERI.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the obsolescence of documents according to their dates, types and locations of publication. The main results are as follows : The half-life of monographs is 12.09 years while those of articles and research papers are 9.68 and 8.93 years, respectively. Moreover, documents are most often cited by researchers within two years since their publication. Lastly, but not the least, the estimated weeding points for monographs, articles, and research papers, assuming that their weeding points have been realized when their accumulated citation rates reach 90%, are 40.15, 32.15, and 29.65 years, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to measure the saturation of the collection in public library and to propose a solution to this problem. In order to conduct this study, one local government was selected to measure the collection saturation status of each library and to clarify the cause of collection saturation. Based on the research results derived from this study, the public library in Korea measures the degree of collection saturation and recognizes the seriousness of collection saturation, and suggests the task of identifying the cause of collection saturation and solving it.

A national library bears responsibility to collect, develop, manage and preserve the national knowledge resources and heritages. The institution, in order to accomplish this duty, should center on systematically developed collection development policy. This paper, in this regard, strives to propose a model to comprise of basic principles of collection development of a national library in order for the effective management of resources by the types and subjects. Major emphasis was put on the nature of a national library as a legal deposit library, an information gateway, and a repository for national information resources. As a result, a model collection development policy appropriate for a national library has been proposed by analyzing cases in other countries to guide establishing principles for determining and analyzing the types and magnitude of the collection acquisition; by applying the Five-level conspectus to be optimal to collection magnitude; and, by identifying the essential elements in systematic development of national knowledge/information resources.

This study analyzed the library's library development policy at home and abroad, established basic principles and guidelines for the library's library development policy, and proposed details of the library's library development policy. In this study, the vision of the supreme court library was established as an open legal and judicial information center that provides services to the public at the eyes of the general public, as well as a representative law library that focuses The five basic directions for establishing a book development policy to realize this vision are as follows: 1) Book development centered on mission and responsibility as a national representative legal library, 2) Development of books as an open legal/judicial information center for public service, 3) The development of books in line with the changing times and information environment, 4) Development of books by subject and language considering the characteristics of the court library, 5) Development of a collection, preservation, and disposal of data based on consistency and systematicity. It is expected that systematic or strategic book development can be promoted through the development of books in the court library based on policy documents.
