최근 어린이도서관, 작은 도서관, 기적의 도서관 등 소규모 도서관이 증가하면서, 도서관건립운영에 필요한 전문적인 지식과 경험을 제공하는 도서관컨설팅시스템의 구축이 요망되고 있다. 도서관컨설팅에 대한 공공도서관 사서들의 의견을 조사한 결과, 도서관컨설팅에 대한 잠재적 수요는 매우 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 도서관컨설팅에 대한 사회적 경험이 부족한 우리나라의 실정에서는 도서관컨설팅서비스가 공공기관에 의해 공공서비스로서 실시되는 것이 바람직하다.
As small-scale libraries such as Children Library, Small Library, Miracle Library, have recently increased in number, it is required to establish the library consulting system in order to provide them with special knowledges and experiences necessary for library construction and operation. The result of the survey about public librarian's opinions confirms that the latent demand for library consulting is very high. In case of our country where the social experience in library consulting service is insufficient, it is desirable that the library consulting service be executed by the government offices as public service.
