ABSTRACT

The analysis on changes in the name of public libraries was conducted to identify critical issues in LIS in South Korea. The library names registered in the National Library Statistics from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed, and types of change and its characteristics were identified. The findings indicate that 211 changes were reported during five years which were categorized in 7 types. As the characteristics, the changes in library names show the administration agency controversy, the emphasis on library services for young adults, library subject specialization, and citizen participatory name contest.
