Abstract

Libraries are recently emerging as the core institutions designed to resolve the information equality that is forecasted to further deepen with the arrival of the fourth industry revolution era. This study thus analyzed the trends of studies on the library services offered to people suffering information inequality in Korea, and proposed measures for the activation of the research and future studies so as to strengthen the domestic library services targeting the people suffering information equality and to promote the research. As a result, proposed as measures for the activation of research were (1) Policy support and project expansion at the national level, (2) Various approaches and research environment creation at the academic level, (3) Strengthening of services for the various levels of people suffering information inequality and deployment of professional librarians at the level of libraries, and (4) Encouraging librarians to enroll with graduate schools and to conduct research. Further, proposed were the future studies that can be approached according to the various levels of people suffering information inequality, such as disabled people, multicultural family members, elderly people, children, youth, agricultural and fishing areas, low-income people, and refugees(North Korea defectors).

4차 산업혁명 시대가 도래함에 따라 더욱 심화될 것으로 예측되고 있는 정보불평등을 해소하기 위한 중핵기관으로서 최근 도서관이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국에서 수행된 정보불평등 계층을 위한 도서관서비스에 대한 연구동향을 분석하고, 관련 연구의 활성화 방안 및 미래연구를 제안함으로써 정보불평등 계층 대상의 국내 도서관서비스를 강화하고, 해당 연구를 촉진시키고자 하였다. 연구결과, 관련 연구의 활성화 방안으로서 (1) 국가 차원에서의 정책 지원 및 사업확대, (2) 학계 차원에서의 다양한 접근 및 연구환경 조성, (3) 도서관계 차원에서의 정보불평등 계층별 서비스의 강화 및 전문사서 배치, (4) 사서의 대학원 진학 및 연구 장려를 제안하였다. 또한 장애인, 다문화, 노인, 아동, 청소년, 농어촌, 저소득층, 난민(북한이탈주민) 정보불평등 계층별로 다양한 측면에서 접근이 가능한 미래연구들을 제안하였다.
