본 연구에서는 도서관의 사회적 가치를 평가할 수 있는 평가지표를 개발하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 1차적으로 도서관의 가치에 대해 연구한 60여 개의 국내․외 논문들을 총체적으로 분석하여 예비 평가지표를 도출하였다. 도출한 예비 평가지표를 토대로 11명의 전문가를 선정하여 3차에 걸친 델파이조사를 실시하여 최종평가지표를 개발하였다. 최종평가지표는 공공도서관의 사회적 가치를 크게 지역 사회 개발, 지역 사회의 연계, 지역 주민의 삶의 질 향상, 지역 주민의 평등화, 지역 사회에 필요한 정보제공서비스 등의 5가지 평가영역과, 13개 평가항목, 64개 평가지표로 구성된다. 향후에는 이를 기반으로 공공도서관의 사회적 가치를 측정하는 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop evaluation indicators for evaluating the social value of libraries and, for this, first of all, preliminary evaluation indicators were derived by analyzing comprehensively about 60 domestic and overseas papers which researched on the value of libraries. On the basis of the derived preliminary evaluation indicators, 11 experts were selected and the final evaluation indicators were developed by conducting Delphi survey three times. The final evaluation indicators are composed of five evaluation areas, which are the divided areas of the social value of libraries, such as the development of local communities, the linkage of local communities, the improvement of local residents’ life quality, the equalization of local residents, and the information services necessary for local communities, 13 evaluation items, and 64 evaluation indicators. In the future, it seems that researches to measure the social value of libraries based on this will have to be conducted.

Abstract

This study examined two characteristics of library and information science (LIS) journals in Korea through analysis of journal coupling with common authors. This study also illustrated the trend of Korean LIS research in the recent decade. The notable change is that record management and archival studies settle in LIS domain as a major research area. We introduced two indicators, Publishing Preference Index (PPI) and Researcher Attraction Index (RAI), based on the degree of common authors among journals. Both indicators revealed notable changes in author coupling, including reversal of PPIs in some journals, which can be interpreted as proof of changes in their author groups. The RAI analysis, which measured the degree of journals’ attractiveness to Korean LIS researchers and author sharing between two journals, illustrated the journals’ states in a domain; this result can help find both an isolated journal and strongly bonded journals in the specific domain. Journal coupling with common authors introduced in this study proved to be an effective investigative method for illustrating journals’ states in a specified domain as well as a multidisciplinary area.
