본 연구는 2014년부터 2018년까지 최근 5년간 미국에서 발표된 도서관학 및 정보과학 분야 학위논문의 연구 동향을 파악하기 위해 PQDT Global 데이터베이스에 수록된 1,016편의 박사학위 논문을 수집하여 각 논문의 관련 학문 분야를 나타내는 분야명들을 추출하고 네트워크 분석을 통해 분야명 간의 관계와 네트워크 전반에 걸쳐 다른 분야들과 관계가 있는 전역중심성이 높은 분야명을 파악하는 것과 동시에 군집분석을 통해 연관성 높은 분야명들이 어떠한 군집을 형성하는지, 각 군집 안에서 지역중심성이 높은 분야명들은 어떤 것들인지 살펴보았다. 103개 핵심 분야명 키워드를 이용한 네트워크 분석 결과 최근 5년간 미국의 도서관학 및 정보과학 분야 박사학위 논문의 관련 학문분야로는 컴퓨터 관련 분야, 교육 관련 분야, 커뮤니케이션 관련 분야 외에도 다양한 이용자 집단에 관한 연구와 정보시스템 관련 분야 등을 포함하여 26개의 군집을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 26개 군집들 중 정보과학을 중심으로 하는 군집에는 컴퓨터 관련 학문 분야명들이 다수 포함되었고, 도서관학을 중심으로 하는 군집에는 대부분 교육 관련 분야명들이 포함되었으며, 그 외에도 이용자 연구와 관련하여 특정 이용자 그룹과 관련된 젠더연구 분야나 정보시스템과 관련하여 경영학, 지리학, 의공학 등 다양한 학문 분야와 연관되어 있음을 알 수 있다.

Abstract

The study examines the research trends of doctoral dissertations in Library Science and Information Science published in the U.S. for the last 5 years. Data collected from PQDT Global includes 1,016 doctoral dissertations containing “Library Science” or “Information Science” as subject headings, and keywords extracted from those dissertations were used for a network analysis, which helps identifying the intellectual structure of the dissertations. Also, the analysis using 103 subject heading keywords resulted in various centrality measures, including triangle betweenness centrality and nearest neighbor centrality, as well as 26 clusters of associated subject headings. The most frequently studied subjects include computer-related subjects, education-related subjects, and communication-related subjects, and a cluster with information science as the most central subject contains most of the computer-related keywords, while a cluster with library science as the most central subject contains many of the education-related keywords. Other related subjects include various user groups for user studies, and subjects related to information systems such as management, economics, geography, and biomedical engineering.

본 연구는 Jesse 또. Shera(1903-1982)가 도서관 및 도서관학과 인연을 맺게 된 동인을 연구하였다. 특히 그가 도서관 자체를 대상물(기관)로 인식하지 않고 개념으로 보고 사회인식론을 도입하여 연구한 것은 방법론뿐만 아니라 학문성을 과학으로 증명하는데 중대한 전기를 마련해 주었다. 도서관은 ''''인간의 기록지식을 사회적 기억으로서 체계 있게 조직하여 제공하는 사회기관이다''''. 즉 도서관을 사회제도가 아닌 사회기관으로 인식하였다. 따라서 본고에서는 Shera가 도서관 및 도서관학을 사회 인식론적 관점에서 접근한 내용을 중심으로 연구하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is on the Shera′s sociological aspect of librarianship. Jesse H. Shera, educator, philosopher, and theoretician, considered that perhaps his most significant contribution to librarianship was not a “thing” but a “concept”. Library was created to meet certain social necessities, and that its development is closely related not only to intellectual history but also to change in the organizational structure and the value system of its supporting culture. It is axiomatic, then, that the library as a social instrumentality. is, as it has always been, conditioned and shaped by the social milieu within which it function. Therefore we are concerned with the need for a new epistemological discipline, a body of new about knowledge itself.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the demand of parents and teachers for a children's library and analyze the need in consideration of their age and children's library-using frequency. The subjects in this study were 1,500 parents and teachers in the region of Gwangju, on whom a survey was implemented to find out the necessity of a children's library, what should be considered in terms of design and program development and what forms of materials should be provided. As a result of checking their needs for the functions of a library, the parents and teachers investigated attached importance to culture, welfare and hands-on culture/art programs as what a library should focus on. Second, as for design, they gave top priority to comfortableness(sanitary facilities, ventilation, humidity and temperature) and safety(sofas, cushions and carpets for children). Third, as to program preference, both of the parents and teachers considered activity, performance and educational programs necessary among multiple kinds of ongoing programs. Specifically, performance programs ranked first among the parents and third among the teachers. Activity programs ranked first among the teachers and third among the parents. Fourth, concerning the importance of materials possessed by a library, they placed the most emphasis on the kind of materials that could foster creativity and instill the right personality.
