Abstract

This study examines the critical features of ‘Library Law’ introducing the public library registration system. Accordingly, we conducted a document analysis to explore the legal meaning of registration in the ‘Library Law’. We also surveyed participants in the gathering of 34 regional registration authorities to gauge their perception of the registration system. The analysis revealed that the registration with ‘Library Law’ is a permission system in terms of procedure and method but has the effect of notarization. The estimated national registration rate is 26 percent. The perception survey of the registration authorities’ officials exposed the registration-related problems such as inconsistency described in supplementary note, excessive workload, difficulties in staffing, and ambiguity in registration criteria and target. To remedy these problems, we proposed an alternative method for the government to increase the effectiveness of ‘Library Law’.
