Abstract

Public Libraries should be open at times when the community can make the most effective and convenient use of library collections and services. In other words, public library must provide adequate open hours for local residents. In this respect, this study analyzed the minimum opening hours per week in public library standards of international organizations(IFLA/UNESCO) and major countries (USA, Canada, UK, France, Australia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea) and suggested a desirable minimum standards(under 10,000 population-45 hours ; over 10,000~20,000 population-50 hours ; over 20,000~50,000 population-55 hours ; over 50,000~100,000 population-60 hours ; over 100,000~300,000 population-65 hours ; over 300,000 population-70 hours) for opening hours per week of public library based on population size in Korea.

도서관은 지역주민이 장서 및 서비스를 가장 효과적이고 편리하게 이용할 수 있는 시간에 개관해야 한다. 달리 말해서 모든 공공도서관은 지역주민에게 적절한 개관시간을 제공해야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 국제기구(IFLA/UNESCO)와 주요 국가(미국, 캐나다, 영국, 프랑스, 호주, 중국과 대만, 일본, 한국)의 공공도서관기준을 대상으로 최소 개관시간을 분석하고 봉사대상인구에 기초하여 국내 공공도서관 자료실의 바람직한 주당 최소 개관시간 기준(1만명 미만은 45시간, 1만명~2만명 미만은 50시간, 2만명~5만명 미만은 55시간, 5만명~10만명 미만은 60시간, 10만명~30만명 미만은 65시간, 30만명 이상은 70시간)을 제안하였다.
