Abstract

If the blockchain means storing information in a distributed environment that cannot be forged or altered, it is mentioned that this is similar to what librarians collect, preserve, and share authoritative information. In this way, this study examined blockchain technology as a way to collect and provide reliable information, increase work efficiency inside and outside the library, and strengthen cooperative networks. This study attempted to propose various ways to utilize blockchain technology in book relations based on literature surveys and case studies in other fields. To this end, this study first analyzed the field and cases of blockchain application to confirm the possibility and value of blockchain application in the library field, and proposed 12 ways to utilize it based on this. The utilization model was proposed by dividing it into operation and service sectors. In the operation sector, it is a digital identity-based user record storage and authentication function, transparent management and traceable monitoring function, voting-based personnel and recruitment system, blockchain governance-based network efficiency function, and blockchain-based next-generation device management and information integration function. The service sector includes improved book purchase and sharing efficiency due to simplification of intermediaries, digital content copyright protection and management functions, customized service provision based on customer behavior analysis, blockchain-based online learning platforms, sharing platforms, and P2P-based reliable information sharing platforms.

블록체인이 위·변조가 불가능한 분산 환경에 정보를 저장하는 것을 의미한다면, 이는 사서들이 권위 있는 정보를 수집하고 보존하며 공유하는 일과 유사하다고 언급된다. 과잉정보 속 도서관이 신뢰할 수 있는 정보를 수집·제공하고, 나아가 도서관 내외부의 업무효율성 증대, 협력 네트워크 강화 등을 모색하기 위한 방안으로서 본 연구에서는 블록체인 기술을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 문헌조사와 타 분야의 사례연구를 바탕으로 도서관계에서 블록체인 기술을 활용할 수 있는 다양한 방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 첫째, 블록체인 활용분야와 사례를 분석하여 도서관 분야의 블록체인 활용 가능성 및 가치를 확인하고, 이를 토대로 12가지 활용방안을 제안하였다. 도서관 업무 분야에서는 디지털 신원 기반의 도서관 통합 인증 서비스, 도서관 유·무형 자산 이동의 모니터링 기능, 도서관 이용자 의견수렴 기능, 블록체인 기반 도서관 채용·인사시스템, 블록체인 거버넌스 기반 도서관 운영 체계 및 네트워크 구축, 도서관 내 IoT 디바이스 및 센서 데이터 관리 기능을 제안하였다. 정보서비스 측면에서는 블록체인 기반의 출판·거래 플랫폼 참여, 디지털 콘텐츠 저작권 보호 및 관리 기능, 이용자 행동 분석 기반 맞춤형 서비스, 도서관의 통합 온라인 교육 플랫폼, 공유플랫폼 기능, P2P 기반의 정보플랫폼 등을 제안하였다.
