ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to derive implications by comparing and analyzing the North Korean Library Act both in 1999 and in 2012. In this study, the North Korean Library Act revised in 2012 compared to the previous North Korean Library Act in 1999, and the newly revised, deleted, and newly established items were analyzed by old/new phrase contrast method. While the North Korean Library Act revised in 1999 consisted of a total of 5 chapters and 45 articles, the North Korean Library Act revised in 2012 was reorganized into a total of 6 chapters and 58 articles. The main changes and features are the establishment and modification of provisions related to electronic libraries and electronic publications in accordance with changes in the information service environment, and new provisions related to training of library staff. Based on the analyzed results, the topics and fields that can be discussed in the future, such as mutual exchange of various learning contents for remote education, establishment of an information service cooperation system between South and North libraries, and training specialists on North Korean libraries.
