ABSTRACT

Public library programs serve a cultural function and are a tool for community interaction. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of websites that integrate the programs of various institutions, but there is no set framework to describe the programs. Therefore, in order to prepare a framework for program information, we conducted a content analysis of Jeongdok Library programs as an example. Using MAXQDA, a content analysis tool, category codes for type, topic, special classification, and target audience were derived. Based on this, we analyzed the characteristics of the Jeongdok library programs as follows. In terms of type, there are many programs such as classes and lectures, but fewer programs related to tours, performances and screenings, and operational experiences. In terms of topic matter, programs related to reading and the arts were dominant, while programs related to book curation, awards, and the environment were less common. In terms of target audience, the most common programs were for adults, with fewer programs for high school students, middle school students, and library staff. The framework of Jeongdok library program can be used not only to classify the programs currently operated by other public libraries, but also to develop a service platform for public library programs in Korea.
