공공기관으로서의 공공도서관의 책임성은 지역사회를 기반으로 한 봉사의 제공에서 찾을 수 있으며, 이는 지역주민의 요구 파악과 이를 만족시키기 위한 봉사의 계획 과정을 통하여 구현된다. 예산 압박을 경험하고 있는 공공도서관에서는 과거 일정 기준에 의한 평균적인 봉사의 제공에서 벗어나 각 지역사회와 지역주민의 특성에 맞는 봉사를 확대하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 1970년대 이후 공공도서관 연구의 주요 과제라 할 수 있는 이용자 및 지역사회의 특징과 요구의 분석, 그리고 지역사회의 요구를 만족시키기 위한 봉사 계획의 수립과정에 관한 연구 성과들을 정리하고, 지역사회를 기반으로 한 봉사의 확대를 위한 지침이 필요함을 제안하였다.
The public library as a public institution, funded by the public, is accountable to provide community based services. Those services can be developed through identifying community needs and implementing proper planning process to satisfy the identified needs. Under budget pressure, public libraries have changed their emphasis from the provision of the standardized services to the establishment of specialized services to reflect the differing characteristics of the community and the community members each public library serves. This paper reviews the research in this area since 1970s and suggests guidelines for the enhancement of community based public library services.
