이 연구에서는 발달장애인을 위한 도서관 서비스를 기획하고 운영한 경험이 있는 공공도서관 사서와의 심층적인 면담을 통해 공공도서관에서의 발달장애인 서비스는 어떻게 운영되고 그 성과는 어떠한지를 살펴보고, 향후 공공도서관에서의 발달장애인 서비스가 성공적으로 실현되기 위해서는 어떤 요건이 필요한지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울시 3개 자치구의 공공도서관에 근무하는 사서 8명을 개별적으로 면담한 후 그 내용을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 면담내용은 2개의 주제와 9개의 하위 주제, 그리고 그에 따른 39개의 내용 요소로 구조화할 수 있었다. 구조화된 내용 중 주요 내용을 중심으로 요약하자면 다음과 같다. 면담에 참여한 사서들은 발달장애인을 위한 서비스를 포함한 장애인 서비스의 당위성을 인식하고 있으며, 그간 다양한 유형의 서비스를 시도했던 것으로 나타났다. 어려운 여건 속에서도 나름의 실행전략을 적용하여 서비스를 성공적으로 실행하기 위해 노력하였고, 그 결과 이용자 만족과 긍정적 반응, 그리고 주변인들의 인식과 태도의 변화를 가져올 수 있었다. 사서들은 서비스를 운영하면서 겪었던 여러 어려움에 대해서도 밝혔는데, 이를 극복하고 향후 더 나은 장애인 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 사서를 비롯한 도서관 직원들의 역량 함양과 이용자의 인식개선, 정책적 측면에서의 변화와 협력적 접근이 필요하다고 하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 사서의 경험으로부터 발견된 점들에 대한 의의를 살피고, 공공도서관이 사회적 기관으로서 ‘모두를 위한 도서관’으로 변화하는 데 필요한 요건을 중심으로 논하였다.

Latvian public libraries as a resource, cooperation partner and initiator for promoting media literacy and civic participation in local communities

The aim of this study is to explore the involvement of public library librarians in improving media literacy and promoting civic participation in Latvia. Within the framework of this research, 15 semi-structured interviews with librarians of public libraries were conducted. The main findings indicate that librarians can strengthen information consumption skills by providing lifelong learning opportunities for all members of society. However, several problematic aspects emerge, among them are the lack of methodological materials specifically for library use, difficulty in reaching audiences who need media literacy training and insufficient media literacy skills among librarians themselves. The librarians in the study stated that more up-to-date knowledge of media literacy is required, as technological developments have changed the criteria by which we evaluate information. Libraries also engage in building civil competence, mainly by facilitating different forms of civic participation and ensuring equal access to infrastructure and library resources. Librarians themselves consider libraries to promote local community awareness and strengthen its identity, thus perpetuating a democratic society. Libraries also promote a sense of responsibility towards the community in members of society by organizing events and organizing volunteer work. Therefore, there is the need for public libraries to become more visible in the local communities as promoters of civic participation, engage more in the communities’ life. This requires librarians to take a more active role, and their participation in community events and partnership building. Librarians’ own media literacy and pedagogical skills need to be continuously improved.
