Abstract

The pandemic, which came unannounced, has caused people to feel the limitations of physical books and spaces, and discussions on library digital capabilities and sustainable library services are spreading. The e-book service of public libraries is at the stage of expanding to the autonomous district level and seeking to revitalize the service. In this study, a user satisfaction survey was conducted on the Gangdong district Library in Seoul to identify the current status of public library e-book services and suggest improvement measures. Based on the analysis results, improvement measures were derived in three aspects: expanding e-book content, strengthening user support services, and improving the e-book system management system.

예고 없이 찾아온 팬데믹은 물리적인 장서와 공간의 한계를 체감하게 하였으며, 도서관의 디지털 역량과 지속가능한 도서관 서비스에 관한 논의가 확산되고 있다. 공공도서관의 전자책 서비스는 자치구 단위까지 확대되어 서비스 활성화를 모색해야 하는 단계에 와있다. 본 연구에서는 공공도서관 전자책 서비스의 현황을 파악하고 개선방안을 제시하기 위하여 서울시 강동구 도서관을 대상으로 이용자 만족도 조사를 실시하였다. 분석 결과를 토대로 전자책 콘텐츠 확대, 이용자 지원 서비스 강화, 전자책 시스템 관리체계 개선의 세 가지 측면에서 개선방안을 도출하였다.
