Abstract

How are real libraries affected and what are they planning and working on in the current coronavirus era? Based on these questions, the purpose of this study was to analyze the Corona-related trends based on the 2020 implementation plan of the Library Development Comprehensive Plan and the 2021 implementation plan, and to analyze the impact and changes of the libraries in the city and the direction of corona response. The problems in the 2020 municipal libraries are largely attributed to the closure or curtailment of libraries due to the epidemic of coronavirus, budget cuts and budget limits due to coronavirus, declining users' interest and participation, infrastructure limits due to rapid service changes and operational limitations. Furthermore, the improvement measures and future plans could be divided into 1) development and provision of non-face-to-face programs; 2) development and provision of online-based services; 4) expansion of budget for response to demand; 5) provision of space against corona; and other response directions. In addition, in order to systematically cope with coronavirus in the future, it is expected that first, hybrid-type programs and services, second, infrastructure for online and non-face-to-face services, and third, budget utilization flexibility will be required.

현 코로나 시대 속에도 실제 도서관들은 어떠한 영향을 받고 있으며, 또 이를 극복하기 위한 방안들로 무엇을 계획하고 활동하고 있을까? 이러한 질문을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 도서관발전종합계획 2020년도 시행계획 추진실적, 2021년도 시행계획 내 코로나 관련 동향을 분석하여 공공도서관들의 코로나에 따른 영향 및 변화, 코로나 대응 방향을 분석하고자 하였다. 2020년도 공공도서관들의 추진상의 문제점들은 크게 코로나19의 전염성으로 인한 도서관 휴관 또는 축소 운영, 예산 삭감 및 예산 한계, 이용자들의 관심 및 참여 저하 문제, 급격한 서비스 변화에 따른 인프라 한계 및 운영상의 한계 등으로 나타났다. 이러한 한계점에 대한 개선조치 및 향후 추진계획으로는 1) 비대면 프로그램 개발 및 제공, 2) 온라인 기반 서비스 개발 및 제공, 3) 정보자료 및 인프라 확대 및 안정화, 4) 수요 대응을 위한 예산 확충, 5) 코로나 대비 공간 마련, 6) 협업 확대 등으로 구분할 수 있다. 아울러 향후 공공도서관에서는 체계적으로 코로나19를 대응하기 위해서는 첫째, 하이브리드 형태의 프로그램과 서비스 운영, 둘째, 온라인 및 비대면 서비스를 위한 인프라 확보, 셋째, 예산 활용의 유연성 확보가 필요할 것으로 전망된다.
