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.

국가도서관은 문화유산의 일환으로 국가의 출판물을 망라적으로 수집하고 보존한다. 본 연구는 서지대조법을 활용하여 국립중앙도서관의 판매도서 포괄성을 측정하였다. 2007년과 2008년 출판 도서에 대해 교보문고 판매용목록을 기준서지로 설정하고 10%를 체계적으로 표집한 후, 국립중앙도서관 온라인목록을 탐색함으로써 수록 비율을 측정하였다. 탐색 시점에서, 2007년 출판 도서의 포괄성은 92.25%, 2008년 출판 도서의 포괄성은 78.10%, 누적 포괄성은 85.16%로 나타났다. 주제별 분석에 따라 포괄성이 낮은 분야를 알 수 있었고, 미소장도서의 출판사 규모를 분석하였으며, 국내외 선행연구 결과와 포괄성을 비교하였다. 납본지연 등 불완전한 수집의 원인이 식별되었으며, 포괄성 향상 및 후속 연구를 위하여 제언하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of the national library is to collect all publications as part of the national heritage and preserve them. This study is undertaken to determine the coverage of the book collection of the National Library of Korea. Bibliographies for the year 2007 and 2008 publications are obtained from the Kyobo Book Centre and sampled 10 % systematically to be used as checklists. Coverage was determined by searching the citations against the OPAC of the National Library of Korea. Results indicate 92.25% of coverage for the books published in 2008, 78.10% coverage for the books published in 2007, and the cumulative coverage is 85.16%. The analysis shows time lag and subject fields with low coverage. Results are compared with previous studies. Reasons for the unpossessed books, such as delay of deposit and publisher characteristics, are identified. Recommendations for the coverage improvements and future research are suggested.
