오늘날 공공도서관은 정보제공뿐만 아니라 문화생활 기능 제공 등 그 역할이 변화하고 있으며, 도서관 공간 역시 도서관의 서비스를 반영해 변화하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 도서관 공간에 대한 탐색적 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 본 연구는 도서관 공간과 이용자의 도서관 인식 간 상관관계를 탐색하고, 도서관의 물리적 특성을 기반으로 도서관 공간 유형을 제안하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 위해 관찰조사 및 설문조사를 수행했다. 관찰조사 결과, 도서관의 공간 유형은 ‘분리형’, ‘부분통합형’, ‘완전통합형’ 세 가지로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 공간 유형의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 통계 분석을 수행한 결과, 공간 유형에 따라 이용자의 도서관 인식과 이용 목적에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 즉, 도서관의 공간 구성에 따라 도서관 공간을 유형화할 수 있으며, 공간 유형이 이용자의 인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 이제까지 고려되지 않았던 도서관 공간과 도서관 인식 간의 관계를 탐색하고, 공공도서관에 대한 긍정적인 인식을 형성하는데 적합한 도서관 공간 구성을 제안했다는데 그 의의가 있다.

Abstract

The roles of public libraries have been diverse not only provision of information but also provision of cultural programs. According to this trend, the spatial composition of public libraries have been also changed to reflect the diverse roles. This study is conducted to explore the spatial characteristics in public libraries with two objectives: 1) to suggest spatial types in public libraries based on their physical characteristics, and 2) to explore the relationships between the spatial types and users’ perception. To accomplish these objectives, we adopted observation and questionnaire survey as research methods. Consequently, three spatial types of public libraries are identified based on an investigation of several public libraries: divided, partially integrated, and integrated. Then, several statistical analyses, including one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), are conducted with the questionnaire survey data. The results from the statical analyses show that there are significant differences in users’ perceptions and behaviors between the spatial types. That is, the spatial type influences user’s perceptions. This study is meaningful in terms of its first attempt to explore the relationships between spatial factors in libraries and users’ perceptions. Based on this, it is suggested that libraries should consider their spatial structures for developing user’s positive perception on the libraries.

Abstract

Although it has been a long subject of study why researchers prefer some cited documents to others, the existing relative researches have had a variety of perspectives on the nature and complexity of the citation behavior and not provided a complete answer to this question. In particular, Korea researchers mainly used statistical analysis of bibliographic information, which has limitations in revealing dynamic and complex cognitive aspects of the citation process. In this study, I investigate the citer perception of citing motives and bibliographic factors through survey and compared the responses according to the researchers’ characteristics. After extracting the 22 motivations and 21 factors through the literature analysis and configuring a 5-point Likert scale questions, I conducted a survey in the wat of an e-mail attachment. From the SPSS 22.0, the frequency analysis, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were performed on the 354 valid samples. As a result, it is found that supporting is considered the most important citing motive and social connection, self-citation have little influence. In the case of bibliographic factors, the journal’s reputation was recognized the most influential factor and the number of pages and authors was the least. Significant differences in fields of study and research careers were showed in some parts. These results can substantiate earlier studies, determine whether the factors assumed influential in selecting references were intended, and suggest the search point to the specialty library or academic database.

본 연구는 초등학교도서관의 자료 선정 과정 중 나타나는 사서(교사)의 자기 검열에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하여 자기 검열 행위를 줄일 수 있는 구조적 방안을 모색하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 연구를 위하여 국내외 문헌 연구를 통해 자기 검열의 개념을 살펴보고 심층 면담을 통해 설문지를 개발하여 설문조사를 시행 후 통계적 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 장서 개발 정책과 학교도서관운영위원회, 도서관 장서 관련 민원 요소에서 집단 간 유의한 자기 검열 차이를 발견하였고, 이용자 및 도서관 장서에 대한 사서(교사)의 인식에서 자기 검열 영향 요인을 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 학교도서관운영위원회의 심의 기능 강화, 이용자 항의 대응 지침이 포함된 장서 개발 정책 마련, 학교도서관 소장 자료의 폐기 절차 간소화 등을 제안하였다.

Abstract

This study aims to explore ways to improve self-censorship tendency in teacher librarians by identifying factors that influence the self-censorship which appears during collection development in elementary school libraries. For this purpose, first, we examined the concept of self-censorship through a review of related literature, then carried out a series of in-depth interviews as a pilot study to develop a questionnaire, which was used for a questionnaire survey. Finally, the survey data was analyzed statistically with SPSS 21.0, a statistical package. As a result, we have discovered statistically significant relationships between self-censorship and the characteristics in collection development policies, school library committees, and the complaints related with the library collections. Based on these results, the factors on the self-censorship were identified in the perception of the school librarians. Based on these results, we suggest to reinforce the function of review and approval of book selection in the school library committee, developed and approved a collection development policy include guidelines for dealing with users’ complaints related to library collection, and stipulated a regulation for school library operation to remove inappropriate books from the library collection.
