문헌정보학의 연구방법이 지나치게 실증주의 쪽으로 경도되어 있다는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 근래, 이것이 국내외적으로 비판의 대상이 되고 있기도 하다. 오늘날 연구자들은-문헌정보학은 인간학의 측면에서 연구될 필요가 있다고 주장한다. 현상학적인 관점에 따라 주관적 접근을 시도해야 한다는 것이다. 이들은 문헌정보학이 사서, 이용자, 관리자 둥의 형태로 다분히 '인간적' 요소와 관련이 있다는 정에 주목한다. 이 글에서는 관련 질적연구의 성과를 검토하고 특히 문헌정보학에서 일상생활 연구의 함의를 심도있게 따진다.
Although the importance of research methodoogy in library and information science(LIS) has been widely recognized, LIS has been also criticized that current research methodology in the field maintains only the positivistic orientation. Researchers on the other hand, assert that US should be studied as a human study, a subjective approach based on a phenomenological perspective, since US has very much to do. with the 'human factor,' with subjectivity in the form of librarian, patron, and administrator. In this paper, a review of the published qualitative research in the field which try to generate theories from the subjects in their own everyday life situation, attempts to shed light on the implication of a new terrain of everyday life research to US. Theory of everyday life is generated by the subjects who are involved in the social relationship, using their own language. It is a theory which shows the logic of the real world in which the everyday man recognize, act and communicate. This includes the perceptions, feelings, and meanings members experience as well as the 'small world' they create in process. Everyday life research performed using qualitative research methods which have strength to investigate this micro-structure applied to the field of library and information science, may bring enrichment to the library and information science research.
