Abstract

Public libraries are expanding community information services to meet the diverse needs of local residents for everyday and practical information and to resolve social inclusion, etc. for the development of local communities. This study considers the ultimate goal of community information services of public libraries to be the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) presented by the UN and proposes community information service areas that public libraries should provide as a priority from the perspective of the SDGs. To this end, this study analyzed the perceptions of 401 public library librarians to select 7 core SDGs and derived 23 major community information service areas based on these. Then, the importance of the 23 areas was analyzed through pairwise comparison by a group of experts, and the priorities of the major community information service areas were proposed. As a result, the services that should be provided with the highest priority were specialized services for underprivileged areas and classes, reading and literacy education, provision of health information, and health education. Based on this analysis, a development strategy for enhancing the community information services of public libraries was proposed to achieve a sustainable society and SDGs for future generations.
