ABSTRACT

The number of public libraries in Korea has been dramatically increased over the last 40 years, since the first Korean Libraries Act was passed in 1963. However, the public library infrastructure is still inadequate and there is a big difference between the number of public libraries in Korea and western countries. This result proves that Korea's method of enhancing its public library infrastructure has not been effective. Therefore, this study suggests the building of small, rather than large, public libraries as a more effective means of enhancing the public library infrastructure in Korea - the method adopted in Great Britain.
