Abstract

This paper looks at several areas in which American public libraries are beginning to transform themselves. These include : (1)their mission and roles in the community；(2)the provision of Internet access；(3)remote user access；(4) customer-driven services； and (5) the changing roles and functions of librarians. It also examines some of the other controversial issues that are confronting public libraries as they implement technological change.

공공도서관이 스스로 변화되기 시작한 몇 가지 분야는 (1) 사명과 역할 (2) 인터넷 접근과 디지털 분배 (3) 원거리 이용자 접근 (4) 이용자 중심의 서비스 (5)사서의 변화된 역할등이다. 시민들이 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 하는 도서관의 전통적인 역할은 출현하는 기술과 조화를 이루면서 지속되어야 하고, 세계적인 규모의 정보네트워크에 공공도서관을 통하여 접근하고 사용할 수 있도록 허용하는 안전한 망으로서 봉사하는 것이 공공도서관의 역할로 그려진다. 지역사회 분석방법을 통한 원거리 이용자 접근과, 이용자 요구 평가를 통한 이용자 중심의 서비스가 이루어져야 하며, 웹마스터로서의 도서관 사서는 새로운 기술과 지식을 배우고 변화를 수용하는 자세를 가져야 한다.
