A Study on the Linkage of National University Libraries through Cooperative System

(Background and Purpose) In a rapidly changing social environment, Korea is facing serious and unbalanced social problems such as overcrowding in the metropolitan area and decreasing the school-age population. Despite the government's recent efforts to provide a new learning and educational space through the opening of school libraries, the utilization rate of citizens in libraries is low, and the lack of a management system is causing problems in which educational and learning resources are not fully utilized. Therefore, this study aims to identify conflicting patterns and establish a cooperative network between university libraries and school libraries by analyzing the current domestic education administrative structure system. (Conclusions) In other words, the formation of the university and school library network system can be seen as a result of the urgent need for changes in the current educational administrative structure. It is hoped that the system of the mutual cooperation system derived in this study will contribute to the development of library administration and spatial research in the future.
