An Analysis of Policy Alignment for Governance Systematization in Local Government Public Library Collection Development Policies: A Case Study of Suwon City
Eun Gyung Park
Abstract
This study analyzes the alignment between local public library collection development policies and national policies and explores ways to systematize governance structures. An exploratory case study focusing on Suwon City was conducted using document analysis, quantitative data analysis, and expert interviews. The findings indicate high nominal alignment with the 4th Master Plan for Library Development across a three-stage scale (codification, resource allocation, and implementation). However, at the operational level, there are empirical limitations, such as structural asynchrony due to time lags in administrative cycles and administrative and structural fragmentation at the individual library level. Consequently, this study proposes a ‘locally linked collection development governance model’ featuring a policy control tower and a life-cycle feedback system. This research is significant in that it provides empirical evidence and methodological standards for advancing the localization of public library policies.
