ABSTRACT

As social institution, the public libraries in changing social environment are required to adopt a more systematic and efficient managerial strategy, only to function properly and to achieve the given goal. In this context, the specialization of the public libraries means the provision of information and library services through differentiation and focus strategy, and should be realized for the efficient library management. In order to examine the specialization of the public libraries in Korea, this study builds the theoretical background of the specialization of the public libraries, looks into the current situation of the public libraries, investigates and analyzes the specialization of the public libraries in terms of information and library services, and suggests some recommendation for improvement. By so doing this study aims at enhancing our understanding of the specialization of the libraries as a whole.
