ABSTRACT

This study applied an analytical technique called Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) to measure the relative efficiency of 21 public libraries in Busan Metropolitan City and proposed policy alternatives raising the efficiency of public libraries. The DEA/Window technique was applied to measure the efficiency trend and stability of 21 public libraries over a time period(2003~2006), while DEA techniques such as a DEA-CCR and a DEA- BCC were also utilized to evaluate the efficiency of 21 public libraries by a cross sectional analysis in one period of time(2006). The results are as followed. First, the efficiency trend of public libraries has been improved since 2003. Second, In a cross-sectional analysis in 2006, It found out that 5 of 21 public libraries were administerd efficiently. Third, policy alternatives for inefficeint public libraries were proposed on the pure techincal aspect and the aspect of returns to scale. Especially, To improve the adminstration strategy of public libraries that were found out to be inefficient on the aspect of return to scale, it was required to reorganize 'The Combined Service System' that has been operating in part among public libraries these days.
