Abstract

This study was performed in order to provide suggestions on how to strengthen librarian competency by evaluating and analyzing the competency value of librarians as information professions. First, the study divided the common competency value of librarians as human capital of libraries into skills, knowledge, behavior and attitude, and analyzed each area of competency value for librarians of the A-library. As a result, the average of the 'librarian's behavior and attitude' area was the highest, followed by the 'librarian's skill' area and the 'librarian's knowledge' area. Second, in terms of 'librarian's skill', A-library librarians' competence values were high in the order of 'communication', 'leadership', 'technology' and in the terms of 'librarian's knowledge' ones were high in the order of 'law and policy', 'marketing', 'learning and growth' and 'finance and accounting'. In addition, in areas of 'librarian's behavior and attitude', the factors were high in the order of 'ethics and values', 'interpersonal relationships' and 'customer service'. Third, the analysis of whether the average difference exists depending on the characteristics of A-library librarians on their evaluation of the competency value shows that only the 'working period' factor in the total competency value and the two factors 'age' and 'working period' were statistically significant in the 'librarian's knowledge' area. Forth, as a result of a regression analysis to identify the characteristics of A-library librarians and their impact on competency value, only the 'final education' factor was statistically significant for the competency value of the 'librarian's skill' area. Fifth, in the survey on problems and desirable improvement measures in increasing the competency value of librarians, the proportion of presenting problems and improvement plan in systemic aspects such as the 'librarian qualification system' and 'librarian training system' was high.

본 연구는 정보전문직으로서 사서의 역량가치를 평가하고 분석함으로써, 사서의 역량 강화방안에 대한 시사점을 제시하고자 수행되었다. 그 결과로는 첫째, 도서관 인적자본으로서 사서의 공통 역량가치를 기량, 지식 및 행동과 태도로 구분하여 각각의 영역에 대한 A도서관 사서의 역량가치를 평가한 결과, '사서의 행동 및 태도' 영역의 평균이 가장 높았으며, '사서의 기량' 영역, '사서의 지식' 영역 순으로 분석되었다. 둘째, A도서관 사서의 '사서의 기량' 영역의 역량가치 평가에서는 '의사소통', '리더십', '기술' 평가요소 순으로, '사서의 지식' 영역의 평가에서는 '법률 및 정책', '마케팅', '학습 및 성장', '재무 및 회계' 평가요소 순으로, '사서의 행동 및 태도' 영역의 평가에서는 '윤리 및 가치', '대인관계', '고객 서비스' 평가요소 순으로 각각 평가 결과가 높게 나타났다. 셋째, A도서관 사서의 역량가치 평가 결과에 대하여 평가 대상자 특성에 따른 평균 차이가 존재하는지 분석한 결과, 전체 역량가치에 대해서는 '근무기간' 요인 만이, '사서의 지식' 영역에서는 '연령'과 '근무기간' 2가지 요인이 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 넷째, 사서의 역량가치는 평가 대상자의 특성에 따라 어떠한 영향을 받는지 알아보기 위해 분석한 결과, '사서의 기량' 영역의 역량가치에 대해 '최종학력' 요인 만이 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 분석되었다. 다섯째, 사서의 역량가치를 높이는 데 있어 문제점 및 바람직한 개선방안에 대한 조사에서는 '사서자격제도'나 '사서 양성체계' 등 시스템적 측면에서의 문제점 및 개선방안을 제시하는 비율이 높았다.
