Abstract

In addition to emphasizing practicality, as in some academic disciplines, LIS is also interested in the research activities and journal publishing of librarians. Despite the high interest, there are few Korean studies on librarian authors' publishing. This study focuses on analyzing the status of librarians' publishing and finding ways to activate their journal publishing. This study analyzed the papers of the librarian authors published from 2014 to 2018 in Journal of the Korean Biblia Society for Library and Information Science and identified the characteristics of librarians who are publishing. As a result, librarians accounted for 15.56% of all authors. However, it is encouraging that the number of librarians' authorship stabilized, and that many librarians are the main authors. Librarians who were energetically publishing were public or school librarians, and academic librarians were slightly behind. There were graduate student librarians who collaborated with the advisor. In order to increase the librarian's publishing, it seemed to be necessary to improve not only the librarian's efforts but also the recognition and assistance of his/her library. Both the librarian and his/her library should be aware of the importance of publishing the journals, and should establish concrete plans such as resilience, compensation, and support. In this way, the librarian's valuable practical experience will be published in research papers and widely shared among researchers and practitioners.

실용성을 강조하는 여타 학문 분야처럼 문헌정보학은 실무자인 사서의 연구 활동과 학술논문 출판에 관심이 많다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이를 직접 다룬 국내 연구는 매우 드물다. 이 연구는 사서의 국내 학술논문 출판 데이터를 수집하여 현황을 분석하고, 사서의 학술논문 출판 활성화 방안을 모색하는데 연구의 초점을 맞추었다. 2014년부터 2018년까지 한국비블리아학회지에 수록된 사서 저자의 논문을 다각적으로 분석하였고, 출판한 사서의 특성도 파악하였다. 분석결과 학술지 저자 전체에서 사서의 비중은 15.56%로 높지 않았다. 다만 사서 저자의 논문수 추이가 안정세였고, 공저 논문 가운데 사서가 주저자인 경우가 많다는 점은 고무적이었다. 활발한 출판을 보이는 사서는 공공 도서관과 학교 도서관 사서였고, 대학 도서관 사서는 다소 뒤져 있었으며, 지도교수와 공저하는 대학원 재학 사서도 있었다. 사서의 학술논문 출판을 활성화하는 데는 사서 개인의 노력뿐 아니라 소속 기관의 인식 개선과 적극적인 지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 향후 사서와 도서관 모두 학술논문 출판의 중요성을 인지하고, 업무 시간의 탄력 적용, 보상, 지원 등 구체적인 방안을 마련해 실천함으로써, 사서의 귀중한 실무 경험이 학술논문으로 출판되고 이를 타 연구자 및 사서가 용이하게 공유할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.
