ABSTRACT

In order to assure universal information access right, the present regional gap of public library infrastructure needs to be examined in Korea. The purpose of this study is to propose an effective government financial support policy to local government to bridge the regional gaps among 16 Korean wide autonomous communities. For that purpose, this study analyzed some of the per library and per capita measures, surface areas, number of librarians, number of books, total budgets and budgets for materials, etc, available in the National Library Statistics System. Then, this study reviewed changes and problems in new government financial support systems which started from 2010. Based on the results, a reformation plan of the current government financial system to national subsidy program was proposed.
