공공도서관시스템의 성공과 실패는 인적 자원의 효과적인 관리에 달려 있다. 그것은 공공도서관의 직원이 운영과 서비스 제공에 가장 중요한 자원이라는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 공공도서관이 지역사회에 최선의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 정보자원을 효과적으로 이용하고 지역사회의 요구를 충족시키기 위한 우수한 직원을 확보할 필요가 있다. 이 연구는 국제기구, 주요 선진국, 한국의 공공도서관 직원기준과 지침을 비교․분석하는데 목적이 있다. 그리고 연구결과로 도출된 시사점은 후속연구인 최적 배치기준 제시의 중요한 이론적 배경과 논리적 근거로 활용될 것이다.
The success or failure of the public library system depends upon the effective management of the human resources. It means that public library’s staff is the most important resource in the operation and delivery of services. In order to provide the best service to the community, therefore, it is necessary to maintain excellent staff to make effective use of the information resources of the library and to meet the demands of the community. The goal of this study is to compare and analyse the staff standards and guidelines of public libraries in international organizations(IFLA/ UNESCO, ISO), major developed countries(USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Japan), and Korea. In addition, the implications derived from this study will be used to provide a valuable theoretical background and rationale for the future research.
