Abstract

The purposes of this research are to find out why the Korean librarianship has not been fully recognized as a profession and how its recognition can be improved. This research also tries to investigate what the librarians are actually doing at libraries and if their works reflect the criteria of professional works. The research was done through the questionnaires sent to the graduates of the Department of Library Science, Daegu Catholic University working at various types of libraries. Based on the results of the survey, some efforts to improve the professionalism of librarianship are suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 사서직이 전문직으로 인식되지 못하는 이유와 개선방안, 그리고 사서들이 수행하고 있는 업무와, 이들의 업무가 전문직의 특성을 어느 정도 반영하는 가를 조사하는 것이다. 연구의 방법은 대구가톨릭대학교(구 효성여자대학교) 도서관학과를 졸업하고 도서관에서 근무하고 있는 사서들에게 설문지를 보내서, 그 응답을 분석하였다. 그 분석의 결과를 근거로 사서직의 전문성 확립을 위한 노력에 일조가 될 수 있는 방안이 제시되었다.
