Abstract

This study analyzed library awareness and anxiety among people in their 20s living in East Asia. The objective is to develop the international library cooperation agenda for life-long education proliferation. User groups in Korea, China, and Japan were investigated to understand the differences in library awareness based on the situational contexts such as preferred resources, use frequency, educational level, and gender. Results of the data analysis showed the correlation between library anxiety and use patterns such as preferred information sources and frequency of use. Specifically, the user group in China has the highest level of library anxiety with every factor. Also, the Korean user group was measured to have the lowest level of library anxiety in terms of digital information factor. Based on these results, the study presents several recommendations for resolving library anxiety such as embracing new information need with regard to environmental change and suggesting a new space policy for libraries.

본 연구는 동아시아 지역 성인층의 평생학습 확산을 대비한 국가간 도서관 협력의제를 고찰하기 위해 해당 지역 주요국가인 한국, 중국, 일본의 20대 청년층 정보이용자의 도서관인식과 불안을 국가간 비교연구를 통해 분석하였다. 이에 청년층 정보이용자의 상황적 맥락(선호정보원, 이용빈도, 학력, 성별)에 따른 도서관이용 의 요인별 인식차이를 조사하여 청년층 이용자의 선호정보원과 이용빈도에 따라 도서관불안에 명백한 차이가 있음을 통계적으로 입증하였다. 특히 중국의 정보이용자층이 다른 나라 이용자층에 비해 도서관이용시 각 요소에 대한 불안정도가 현저하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 한국의 정보이용자들의 디지털정보에 관한 불안요소가 다른 나라 청년층 이용자에 비해 낮은 분포로 측정되었다. 연구결과를 기반으로 이용자들의 환경변화에 따른 정보서비스요구에 대한 도서관의 수용 및 새로운 차원의 도서관 장소 모색 등 성인층을 위한 동아시아지역 도서관운영의 개선방안 등을 제안하였다.
