ABSTRACT

Since 1988, the librarian standards prescribed in the 「Enforcement Decree of the Library Act」 have not been revised at all and they have many weaknesses and limitations. This study proposed revision of librarian standard and legislation based on legal and application issues. It is desirable to revise the structure of 1988 prospectively and to establish new standards for local representative library. In the case of basic personnel, it is desirable to have three librarians in all public libraries or considering the fact that the library's non-professional work is about 30-40%, it is also necessary to consider a plan consisting of two librarians (professional + para-professional) and one non-professional. The local representative library should apply the librarian standard of the public library serving a community of 300,000 people and establish a standard to add non-librarian equivalent to one-third of librarians. In the case of additional personnel, it is desirable for public libraries to increase one librarian whenever the service target population exceeds 10,000, and the local representative library to increase one librarian whenever the service target population exceeds 100,000. And each library needs to add a other full-time staff equivalent to one-third of the librarian.
