곽동철,Kwack, Dong-Chul 한국비블리아학회 2008 한국비블리아학회지 Vol.19 No.1

Performance indicators for academic libraries in Korea suggested in this research cover three areas, that is, collection, budget, and human resources, which consists of three subdivisions, respectively. Performance indicators and action plans in this research were prepared, based on the official documents which universities in Korea formally submitted to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, and the data published by the related institutions. Performance indicators and action plans are intended to draw attentions of university administrators and headquarters, but do not require librarians to prepare for evaluation. The better results would be expected with the development and application of both quantitative and qualitative indicators for information services by standardizing and unifying the process of collecting statistics. It is also expected that periodic and continuing evaluation of academic libraries could help government and universities have a better understanding of and appreciate the significance of academic libraries.

곽동철,Kwack, Dong-Chul 한국비블리아학회 2005 한국비블리아학회지 Vol.16 No.1

Since government institutions begin working 40 hours each week, public libraries in Korea face the challenge of not only enhancing the quality of life for librarians by improving their work environment, but also providing adequate information services for patrons. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential problems which could happen with the 40 working-hours each week in public libraries, and establish the strategies for resolving these problems. For this study, based on the existing research, an attempt is made to review and analyze the following facts: (1) the details of planning for 40 working-hours each week at the government institutions in Korea; (2) the current work environment and service strategies of public libraries in other countries, including the U.S., where librarians work 40 hours each week; (3) the present state of managing public libraries with 40 working-hours each week in Korea; and (4) the strategies of public libraries as a part of cultural infrastructure in preparing for 40 working-hours each week which will be fully implemented at the government institutions in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the characteristics of seven major cooperative storage facilities for academic libraries in the U.S.A, Australia, and Scotland in order to provide a frame of reference for such a facility in Korea. Analyzed are unique characteristics of these storage facilities in relation to their physical facilities, uses and services for collections, participating organizations, ownership of resources, and integrated library management and access systems. Some objectives of operations and physical environments are shared by these storage facilities, and have some implications for the development of cooperative storage facilities in Korea. 이 연구의 목적은 우리나라 대학도서관 공동보존서고 구축을 위한 기초자료로서 미국, 호주, 스코틀랜드의 주요한 대학도서관 공동보존서고 7개관의 구축과 운영에 관련된 특성을 기술 및 분석하는 것이다. 각 공동보존서고의 물리적 시설, 운영주체, 소장자료의 성격과 규모, 자료의 소유권, 자료의 이용과 서비스, 자료관리와 접근 시스템 등의 고유한 특성을 서술하고, 시설구축 및 운영의 목표, 서고 환경 등에서 공통적으로 관찰되는 요소들을 분석함으로써, 상이한 공동보존서고의 발전현황을 이해하고, 우리나라의 대학도서관 공동보존서고를 건립하는 데 필요한 상황과 조건을 파악하도록 하였다.

대학도서관의 환경변화와 문제점의 분석- 미국, 영국, 호주 및 캐나다를 중심으로 -

곽동철,윤정옥,김기태 한국도서관·정보학회 2006 한국도서관정보학회지 Vol.37 No.1

The purpose of this study is to describe the problems, which academic libraries in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada have faced since the 1990s. These problems are mostly caused by environmental changes in higher education. In this study, only discussed are the problems that academic libraries in various countries have commonly experienced, but not unique ones libraries in each country has due to its own national, societal, cultural, academic or informational situations. Major problems include continuing decrease in library expenditures, changing role of libraries themselves, changing nature of library collections, development of information technology and technological infrastructure on campus, steep increase in prices of scholarly journals, and relative decrease in purchasing powers of libraries. These problems are all closely inter-related, and seem to require more comprehensive and systematic strategic solutions carried out by the national or government intervention, rather than individual libraries. 본 연구의 목적은 1990년대 이후 미국, 영국, 호주 및 캐나다 등 영어권 주요국가의 대학도서관들이 인식하고 있는 고등교육의 환경변화와 그에 따른 문제점들을 살펴보는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 각기 상이한 국가제도와 문화적 전통, 고등교육체제 및 정보환경 하에 있기 때문에 생겨나는 고유한 문제점들보다는 여러 나라의 대학도서관 전반에 나타나는 공통적인 문제점들을 규명하는 데 초점을 맞추었다. 각국의 대학도서관들이 공통적으로 지적하는 문제들은 예산의 축소, 도서관 역할의 변화, 도서관 콜렉션 속성의 변화, 정보기술의 발전과 기술 기반구조의 요구, 연속간행물 가격의 급등과 도서관 구매력 감소 등이다. 이 문제들은 서로 고립된 개별적 문제들이 아니라, 매우 긴밀하게 상호 연관되어 있어, 개별 도서관의 대응책보다는 국가 혹은 정부의 보다 거시적이며 광범한 차원의 이해와 전략적 대책을 요구함을 알 수 있다.

곽동철,윤정옥,Kwack, Dong-Chul,Yoon, Cheong-Ok 한국비블리아학회 2011 한국비블리아학회지 Vol.22 No.2

This research reports the results from the pilot evaluation of academic libraries in Korea conducted from September through November 2010 to test the applicability and feasibility of an evaluation model and evaluation indicators developed by this research team. In the first and second stages of this pilot evaluation, quantitative and qualitative indicators were respectively used, and in the third stage a survey for user satisfaction was conducted. Out of 58 applicants which applied for this evaluation, a total of 9 libraries were selected as excellent libraries for each group classified according to the size of a library(large, medium, and small) in 3 areas of specialization and 1 library was awarded the best performed library. Despite such limitations as the use of experimental indicators and a pressing schedule, there were some positive effects including the use of formal statistics, an objective assessment of current status of academic libraries, and the improved interest of university administration in academic libraries.
