Discussion on Calculating the Required Shelves for Arranging the School Library Collection
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to propose a method of calculating the shelves required for the placement of bookshelves in the school library. The study was conducted by visiting 11 school libraries, and current library status was identified according to school levels and major subjects of the Korean Decimal Classification. According to the results of the survey, ideal numbers of arranged volumes are 46.9, 32.3, and 28.4 volumes of books, for elementary, middle, and, high school respectively, which takes up 67 percent of a 90-centimeter-unit bookshelf. However, the more realistic number turned out to be 75%, with 52.8, 36.4, and 32.0 volumes of books for elementary, middle, and high schools, respectively. Based on the results of the survey, a tool was presented to calculate required bookshelves in school libraries. This study is expected to have a positive impact on library operation by making it easier to calculate the bookshelves required for actual placement.
