ABSTRACT

The public lending right is a system in which government provide compensation to authors on the premise that the sale of books is reduced due to the book borrowing of the library. Recently, the claim that the public lending right should be introduced in Korea has been continuously raised by the authors. This study was conducted as part of the basic work to demonstrate whether the claims of public lending right are based on reasonable premises. The library’s popular lending books and bookstore bestseller books were compared to analyze the similarities and differences. Through this process, we derive necessary factors to prove the validity of the introduction of the public lending right and suggest follow - up study. In addition, we recalled the social meaning of book lending in libraries.
