AB - The purpose of this study is to fulfill citizens’ right to know and enhance understanding of public libraries by disclosing management information about regional representative libraries, thereby gaining public support and endorsement. To this end, the study examined case studies from the annual reports and strategic planning reports of state libraries in the United States, as well as the five-year library service plans and evaluation reports submitted to the IMLS. Most metropolitan representative libraries in Korea uniformly present only basic operational information, such as organizational charts, job descriptions, and the number of items in their collections. This prevents the public from understanding the specific operational details, management performance, and objective evaluations of these libraries. It also makes it difficult to distinguish their roles and functions from those of other public libraries. Therefore, we emphasize the necessity and justification for actively referencing examples of management information disclosure, such as those found on the websites of U.S. state libraries, to inform the entire public about the goals, performance outcomes, and evaluation results of regional representative libraries.
