Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the operation status of public libraries in autonomous districts of Seoul after the implementation of the registration system, derive problems, and propose improvement measures. The registration status of public libraries in 25 autonomous districts in Seoul was quantitatively analyzed using the national library statistics system and information disclosure request data, and it was confirmed that public libraries decreased by 11.6% from 181 to 160 in 13 autonomous districts out of 25 autonomous districts in Seoul after the registration system was implemented. The main reason for the non-registration was a shortage of librarians. In addition, an interview study was conducted with seven practitioners of libraries that have been converted to unregistered libraries and small public libraries to summarize their perceptions, problems, and improvements on the registration system. In conclusion, four improvement measures were proposed: establishment of new registration implementation regulations for unregistered libraries, review of registration requirements, establishment of a financial support system, and strengthening the role of the registration authority.
