Abstract

The research reports the results from an investigation of various measurement elements and techniques appropriate for the economic assessment of academic libraries, with a view to apply them in future evaluation of academic libraries in Korea. Two libraries participated in the pilot study. In one library, CVM (contingency valuation method) was applied to services ranging from circulation, electronic collection, reference, user education and facility. In the second library, three different methodologies--time value, alternative service value and CVM--were all applied to measure the value of electronic collection. The research provides analyses of measurement elements used, study procedures and measurement results. Based on these analyses, the study also makes suggestions in the areas of measurement goals, service, users and the calculation of B/C ratios that need to be taken into consideration in order to execute reliable and valid assessment of academic library's value.

본 연구는 대학도서관의 가치 측정 과정에서 고려되어야 할 다양한 측정 요소 및 측정에 적용된 방법론의 적절성을 분석하고 이를 통해 향후 국내의 대학도서관에 대한 적용 가능성을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2개의 대학도서관을 선정하여 1개관은 대출, 전자학술정보, 참고서비스, 이용자 교육, 공간이라는 서비스를 가상가치측정법(CVM)으로 측정하고, 다른 1개관은 시간가치, 대체서비스가치, CVM 세 가지의 측정 방법으로 전자학술정보 서비스의 가치를 측정하였다. 측정 요소와 과정 및 측정 결과에 대한 분석을 토대로 향후 대학도서관의 신뢰성 있는 가치측정을 위해 고려해야할 사항을 측정 목적, 측정 서비스, 이용자, BC ratio의 산출 측면에서 제시하였다.
