Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the theoretical basis and quantified objective standards for the establishment of collection management policy. The study results are summarized as follows. Most of the study books were in the form of periodicals as a steady seller. Most of the steady sellers were textbooks which published periodically. As a modern novel, a steady seller was able to confirm the phenomenon of dependence on a specific author. Bestsellers were investigated to be influenced by publishers and authors. Books of publishers that publish comics and children's textbooks had a significant correlation with the selection of bestsellers. The average number of recommended books borrowed per recommended book was 14,871. The average number of loans per book selected as a bestseller was 53,531. Based on the loan data, about 80-82% of all top-tier loans were covered by 90%, and about 27-29% of all top-ranked loans were covered by 50%. This shows that the Pareto Principle can be firmly applied to public library lending patterns. Loans in the field of literature accounted for 50.6% of the total loans. Among literature, Korean literature accounted for 51.3% of the total. The natural sciences were generating more loans with a relatively small pool of literature compared to other subject fields.

이 연구의 목적은 합리적인 장서관리정책 수립을 위한 이론적 근거와 계량화된 객관적 기준점 제시이다. 본 연구의 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 스테디셀러는 정기간행물 형태의 학습서가 대부분이었다. 또한, 현대소설로서 스테디셀러는 특정 작가에 의존하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 베스트셀러는 출판사와 저자의 영향을 받는 것으로 조사되었다. 특히 만화와 아동용 교재를 출판하는 출판사의 도서는 베스트셀러 선정에 상당부분 상관성을 갖고 있었다. 추천된 도서 한 권당 추천 도서의 대출 수 평균은 14,871권이었으며, 베스트셀러로 선정된 도서 한 권당 평균 대출 수는 53,531권이었다. 한편 대출데이터를 기준으로 약 80~82%의 도서가 전체 상위권 대출의 90%를 감당하고 있고, 약 27~29%의 도서가 전체 상위권 대출의 50%를 감당하고 있었다. 이는 일련의 파레토법칙이 공공도서관 대출패턴에서도 굳건히 적용될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 문학의 대출은 전체 대출에서 50.6%를 차지하였으며, 문학 중에서 한국문학작품이 전체 51.3%를 차지하였다. 자연과학은 다른 주제분야에 비해 상대적으로 작은 수의 문헌으로 더 많은 대출을 발생시키고 있었다.
