Abstract

This study explores the development strategies, impact, and limitations of public library makerspaces through active case studies. By examining related literature reviews, this study analyzes principles, objectives, programs, services, and strategies of public library makerspaces. Survey results from library staff and makerspace program participants show that both groups perceived the value and the effects of makerspaces positively; however, they suggested the need for greater program variety and accessibility. Additionally, this study evaluates makerspace programs through in-depth interviews with makerspace staff. Interview results raise diverse issues, including the need to further explore the justifications for and values of public library makerspaces, stable funding strategies, and phase-by-phase operating guidelines.

본 연구는 국내 공공도서관 메이커스페이스 운영 현황 조사를 통하여 공공도서관 메이커스페이스 운영의 효과성, 한계점 및 개선 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내외 공공도서관 메이커스페이스와 관련된 문헌조사를 통해 도서관 메이커스페이스의 개념 및 필요성, 프로그램 종류, 서비스 정책 등을 검토하였다. 또한 현재 메이커스페이스를 운영 중인 공공도서관 및 유사기관의 사서 및 직원, 프로그램 참여자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 그 결과 사서, 직원, 이용자 모두 메이커스페이스의 필요성 및 효과성에 대해서는 모두 긍정적으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 단 프로그램의 다양성 및 수용인원 확대 등의 필요성이 제기되었다. 또한 메이커스페이스 운영 담당자들과의 심층인터뷰 조사 결과 메이커스페이스의 당위성 확립과 공감대 형성, 지속가능한 재정지원, 메이커스페이스의 단계별 운영 가이드라인 등의 필요성이 제기되었다.
