Abstract

Innovation in university library spaces is challenging to effectively support the education of the university's future learning and innovation capabilities, including creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception and need of library space from the perspective of users and librarians, and to suggest the direction of space innovation through this. For this study, we designed each questionnaire for users and librarians, and collected responses from 363 users and 186 librarians in the university library to analyze their needs and perceptions about their library space. The librarian's need for the space was analyzed by the size of the library and the demographic factors of the librarian. The user's need was analyzed by the user's attributes. In addition, we analyzed the differences between librarians and users for the need for space and space services. The results of this paper may be useful for reference when planning a new library or building a space based on user.

창의력, 비판적 사고력, 의사소통역량, 그리고 협업역량으로 대변되는 대학의 미래 학습 및 혁신 역량 교육을 효과적으로 지원하기 위해 대학도서관의 공간혁신이 과제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이용자와 사서의 관점에서 대학도서관 공간에 대한 인식 및 수요를 파악하고 이를 통해 공간혁신의 방향성 수립을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해, 이용자와 사서를 위한 각각의 설문지를 설계하고 대학도서관의 이용자 363명과 대학도서관 사서 186명의 응답을 수집하여 그들의 도서관 공간 및 공간서비스에 대한 인식과 수요를 분석하였다. 그리고 이용자의 공간에 대한 인식은 이용자의 특성별, 이용행태별 차이를 분석하고, 사서의 공간에 대한 인식은 소속도서관 규모, 사서의 인구통계학적 특성별로 차이를 분석하였다. 또한 공간 및 공간서비스에 대한 인식은 이용자와 사서간 차이분석을 실시하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 수요자 기반의 도서관 신축이나 공간 재구성 계획 시 참고할만한 자료가 될 수 있을 것이다.
