대학도서관의 장서이용 실태조사 : 덕성여자대학교 도서관을 중심으로 = A Study of the Use of Library Materials at the Duksung Women's University Library

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objective of this study is to find out the degree to which library collections are used in a university library and what characteristics of library materials affect book use or non-use. Moreover, book use by subject field is reviewed in order to examine whether there are differences in terms of usage patterns and aging in use.
809 titles from the general collection in Duksung Women's University Library are randomly selected and their circulation data and bibliographic characteristics are analyzed.
The major findings of this study are as follows.
33.9% of library collections have never been used. Among them, materials in Social Sciences, Applied Sciences, and Literature account for 56.5% of never-used-books. Of non-used-books or 33.9% of library collections domestic materials occupy 56.5% and the rest of them or 44.5% are foreign books.
66.1% of library collections are used at least more than once accounting for 4,983 circulations. Among them 9.0% of used-books satisfy 53.7% of 4,983 circulation requirements. As this study defines core collections in Duksung Women's University Library as meeting 90% of circulation requirements, 251 among 809 titles or 30.9% of the library collections are identified as core collections, which are used more than five times.
The degree of book use by subject field is identified as over-used, under-used, and adequately used ones. Philosophy, Language, Art, and Literature are over-used collections and Social Sciences and History are under-used collections.
Meanwhile following hypotheses are tested.
The first hypothesis regarding book use by subject field attempts to determine whether or not usage patterns are different. The answer from the Chi-Square test is that the book use rate by subject field is significantly different(p<.001). Collections in the fields of Philosophy, Literature, Language, and Art are used significantly more than the books in the fields of Religion, Social Sciences, Sciences, and History.
In order to determine whether aging of books is different among subject field collections, the Chi-Square test also reveals that the collections show significantly different aging patterns in use between two categories of collections, Religion and Applied Sciences(p<.05). Books in Applied Sciences are aging more rapidly than those in Religion, that is book use in Applied Sciences is more rapidly decreased than Religion.
The last hypothesis with respect to book use by language addresses whether or not foreign and domestic books differ in use. The t-test reveals that foreign and domestic books show significantly different use rates(p<.01). That is, domestic books are significantly used more than foreign books.
