초록

최근 다양한 분야에서 메타버스를 활용한 서비스가 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 기술이 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 배경에서 대학도서관에서도 시대의 흐름에 따라 메타버스 서비스를 제공할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 대학도서관의 메타버스 활용 현황과 사서의 인식을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 국외 도서관의 메타버스 사례와 국내 대학도서관의 메타버스 사례를 분석하였다. 또한, 메타버스 운영 경험이 있는 대학도서관 사서 9명을 대상으로 면담을 통해 대학도서관의 메타버스 활용 현황과 인식에 대한 자료를 수집하여 메타버스의 운영에서 겪었던 어려움, 요구사항 등을 파악하였다. 연구결과를 토대로 국내 대학도서관의 메타버스 활성화 방안으로 메타버스 서비스의 차별화, 전문인력의 확보, 교육의 활성화, 자료 열람 기능의 확대, 서비스에 따른 플랫폼 선택을 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 대학도서관에서 메타버스를 운영하거나 계획할 때 있어 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
