자동화와 정보기술이 도서관의 조직구조 및 기능에 미치는 영향 = Impact of Automation and Information Technology on Organizational Environment in Libraries

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ever since the introduction and implementation of automation in libraries in mid-sixties, it has significantly affected many phases of library operation. The enhanced ways of organizing and processing library materials and procedures have in turn influenced the gradual changes in the organizational environment. Recent literatures in the field, therefore, report changing roles of traditional librarians. The focus is on how the traditional bifurcated structure of technical and public services is changing toward closer integration to meet the new phenomena since both parties are involved from processing to delivery services to users in an automated environment. The traditional work assignment and division of labor are often being replaced by a variety of functions and areas which demand working together as teams.
Unlike in western countries, special libraries took advantages of the automation earlier than university libraries in Korea. Mere size, subject concentration, increased national and private interest in R & D, and better financial support have contributed to the possibility of developing automation projects in those libraries. It was only in the mid-eighties that Korean university libraries began to develop and implement the automation system on mostly partial basis. There are only a handful of libraries that actually operate with the integrated total system. Much preparation is required before any institutions can arrive at computer-assisted information work. New awareness and comprehensive understanding of library missions and organizational structures to support these missions are essential. As late comers in the information technology scene, university libraries in Korea can learn very much through experiences of many other institutions of advanced stages in other countries.
The purpose of this study, therefore, is to review the automation process and its various impacts on academic libraries through extensive literature search. This will result, it is hoped, in discovering and evaluating the effective ways and means of application of the automation best suited to our own situation. Korean academic libraries need, no doubt, all the information available, both theoretical and practical to meet the challenges and responsibilities of the transformation period. From experiences of those in the lead we are also able to reduce as much as possible the difficulties and the problems that may occur in the time of great changes.
The literature is largely produced in the U.S. since most innovative automation discussions and practical movement toward any reorganization of professional functions have been initiated and developed in the libraries there. The study starts with the traditional pattern of largely bifurcated library organization with its advantages and disadvantages. It is followed by the history of automation and the impact on both service structures. Some of the difficulties and the possibilities discussed in relation with the recent movement toward the total integration of library functions are also presented. The integration of public and technical services in the central theme in the current move.
