Abstract

노령화 사회로의 빠른 이행 중에 있는 우리나라는 노령자들의 정보소외가 심각한 경제사회적인 문제가 되었다. 정보운영능력(information literacy)을 경계로 생성되는 정보격차 문제는 국가적 차원에서 접근해야 할 문제이며, 정보배포의 인프라를 이미 갖추고 있는 공공도서관이 가장 효율적인 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 노령자들의 공공도서관에 대한 인식, 정보요구, 선호정보원, 희망교육주제 등을 비교적 건강하고 활동적인 노령자들이 다니는 노인복지관 교육프로그램 수강자를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 파악하였다. 데이터 분석 결과 공공도서관에 대한 인식수준은 매우 낮았으며 연령대에 따라 선호 프로그램 유형이 다른 것이 확인되었다. 데이터 분석 결과를 토대로 몇 가지 제안을 하였다. As Korea enters into an aging society, the problem of information literacy against senior citizens is becoming a socioeconomic issue in Korea. Since most of the public libraries in Korea are already equipped with infrastructures for information dissemination, they may be able to solve this problem most effectively among public organizations. In this study in order to investigate senior citizen's general understanding of public library, cognizance of the programs for them. their information request levels, preferred contents, information seeking behavior, etc., 176 participants in educational programs at two senior citizens' welfare center were interviewed and surveyed with structured questionnaires. The statistical analysis of the surveyed data has shown that the senior citizen's general understanding of public library was very poor and that those under 75 years old preferred educational programs and those over 75 preferred recreational ones. Recommendations were made based on the results of the analysis.
