Abstract

본 연구는 LibQUAL+를 적용하여 공공도서관 운영주체에 따른 서비스 품질을 평가하고, 그 차이를 비교 분석함으로써 도출된 문제점에 대한 개선방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 서울시 소재 민간위탁 공공도서관 중 운영주체 유형에 따라 공단, 문화원, 재단, 대학교로 분류하여 각각에 속한 1개관씩을 선정, 총 4개관을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였으며, LibQUAL+의 '서비스 영향력', '정보 제어', '도서관 장소' 요인을 구성하는 22개 항목에 대해 '최소 서비스 수준', '희망 서비스 수준', '인식된 서비스 수준'을 9점 리커트 척도로 측정하였다. 그 결과 전체 표본도서관의 서비스에 대해 이용자들이 기대하는 최소 서비스 수준은 만족시키고 있으나 희망 서비스 수준에는 이르지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 민간위탁 공공도서관은 이용자의 다양한 정보요구와 도서관의 환경변화에 적극적으로 대처하고, 지속적인 평가와 개선을 통하여 우수한 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 노력해야 한다. This study is designed to evaluate the service quality of public libraries according to managing entities by LibQUAL+ and to devise ways to improve problems based on comparison and analysis of the differences in the service qualities. To achieve this, four public libraries in Seoul according to the managing entities were investigated. They consisted of libraries of public corporations, cultural centers, foundations and universities. Minimum service quality level, desired service quality level and perceived service quality was analyzed based on nine-point Lickertis scale. A survey was employed and consisted of twenty-two items. The results showed that current level of service met the minimum level, yet failed to reach their desired service level. The study suggested that public libraries contracting out to private sector need to actively apply users' demands and the changing environment of libraries, and continue to strive to provide public library users with high quality service through efforts of evaluating and improving the services for their users.
