한국문헌정보학 교과과정 운영모형 및 표준교과목 개발에 관한 연구

본 연구에서는 지난 20년간(1991년∼2011년)의 한국 문헌정보학 교과과정을 분석함으로써 교과목의 변화를 분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 총 개설과목 수가 전체적으로 증가하여 왔고, 학부제로 전환하면서 학부기초과목 수는 증가하였고, 핵심과목 수는 감소하였으며, 다시 학과제로 전환하면서 학부기초과목 수는 감소하고, 핵심과목 수는 증가한 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 전국 34개 4년제 문헌정보학과의 교과과정을 문헌정보학일반, 정보조직학, 정보조사제공학, 도서관․정보센터경영학, 정보학, 서지학, 기록관리학으로 구분하여 각 영역별 분포도를 조사하였는데, 지난 20년간 정보조사제공학과 정보학 분야를 제외한 대부분의 영역에서 그 교과목 수가 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 본 연구를 통해서 사라진 과목, 과목 명칭이 바뀐 과목, 여러 과목이 통합된 과목, 하나의 과목이 여러 과목으로 세분화된 과목, 그리고 시대의 발전에 따라 새롭게 등장한 과목들이 밝혀졌다.

본 연구에서는 문헌정보학의 주요 교과목에 대한 교재개발 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 또한 본 연구는 교재개발 절차를 매우 자세하게 제시함으로써 다른 교과목의 개발 시 참조할 수 있도록 하였다. 교재개발절차는 1) 주요 교과목의 주교재 조사 분석, 2) 직무분석결과로부터 교과내용 도출, 3) 자문위원 평가 및 의견반영, 4) 최종 교재목차를 장, 절, 항 수준까지 제안 등이다. 연구결과로 제안된 교재목차는 문헌정보학개론, 정보서비스론, 도서관경영론, 정보조직론, 정보검색론, 도서관실습 교과목에 대한 것이다. 모든 과목에 대해 장, 절까지 제안하고 있으며, 세부 내용에는 해당 장, 절에서 다루어질 수 있는 내용을 모두 나열함으로써 교수자의 재량에 따라 선택하여 교수할 수 있도록 하였다. The purpose of this study was to perform research on the development of core course textbooks in the LIS field. The process of textbook development proposed in this study can also be a useful reference for developing the textbooks for other, non-core courses. The textbook development procedure used was as follows; 1) investigating and analyzing the main textbooks of LIS core courses domestically and abroad, 2) deriving optimal curriculum content from job analysis results, 3) gathering comment and feedback from professors teaching core courses, 4) proposing a final, three-tiered table of contents for an optimal textbook. The textbook table of contents proposed as a result of this research relates to the core subjects of: Introduction to Library and Information Science, Information Services, Library Management, Information Organization, Information Retrieval, and Library Fieldwork. We suggested chapter and section levels for all subjects, and list all of the details that should be dealt with in each section; instructors are then able to select from these options at their discretion.

24—25 April 2018 the Russian State Library (RSL) held the International Scientific-Practical Conference “Rumyantsev Readings — 2018. Libraries and Museums as Cultural and Scientific Centers: Historical Retrospective and Look into the Future. To the 190th anniversary of the RumyantsevMuseum”. Three hundred eighty five specialists fromRussia, Azerbaijan Belarus,Kazakhstan,LithuaniaandUkraineattended the conference. During online broadcasting of Plenary Session and one of the Sections there were registered 692 connections. In addition to the main topic stated in the title, the Conference traditionally deals with a wide range of issues on theory and practice of library and information science, bibliography science, bibliology, history of public holdings and private collections, and current activities of modern libraries. The following sections worked at the “Rumyantsev Readings” Conference: “Libraries and Publishers: Ways of Cooperation”, “Library Classification Systems”, “Specialized Documents (Maps, Printed Music, Sound Recordings, Newspapers, Dissertations, etc.) in Library Collections”, “Archaeographic and Historiographic Aspects in Study of Manuscripts”, “Manuscript Sources in Library Collections”, “Rare and Valuable Books, Book Monuments and Collections”, “Collectors, Researchers and Custodians. Libraries and Museums in the Context of History”, “Effective Management in Library: Problems and Solutions (Pre-Session Meeting of the 32nd Section of the Russian Library Association on Library Management and Marketing)”, “Electronic Information Resources”, “Theory and Practice of Librarianship Development at the Present Stage”, “Bibliography and Information — Bibliographic Services”. The following Round tables took place at the Conference: “Public Centers of Legal Information of Libraries as Centers of Formation of Information and Legal Culture of Citizens: the 20th Anniversary of the Formation of Public Centers of Legal Information in Russia”, “Library in Preservation and Development of Historical and Cultural Heritage of the CIS Countries”, “Standardi- zation in the Field of Library — Information Services: Discussion of Draft Standard”, as well as the Seminar “Science in Library: Content, Organization and Presentation of Results”, from the series “The Role of Science in the Development of Libraries: Theoretical and Practical Aspects”. Traditional annual conference of the Russian State Library is one of the largest scientific-practical events of the library life in our country and can rightfully claim the international status. The number of participants from year to year demonstrates interest of researchers from various scientific and cultural insti- tutions and practical experts of librarianship to the issues raised at the Conference and the need for such events. “Rumyantsev Readings —2018”helped to draw attention to the problems of operation of libraries at the present historical stage, to the search for innovative development ways, expansion of cooperation between institutions of culture, education, science and intercultural interaction, preservation and study of the world cultural heritage and national values, intensification of scientific research on a wide range of issues of bibliology and library and information science.

"Perceptions of Library Use on Thesis Writing Motivation of Library and Information Science Students at Padang State University." Thesis. Library and Information Science Study Program, Department of Information and Library Science, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Padang State University. This research was motivated by the lack of motivation to use the library in looking for reading materials for thesis writing within the Padang State University environment. Most students look for references more from the internet such as Google Scholar and the UNP digital library than from the library, resulting in fewer library visits at the Faculty of Languages and Arts. This research aims to describe the perception of library use on the motivation for writing a thesis for Library and Information Science students at Padang State University. This research is quantitative research. The population in this study was 97 people and the sample for this study was 50 Library and Information Science students at Padang State University using a simple random sampling technique using the Slovin formula. The analysis of this research uses the T test. The results of this research show (1) Perception of library utilization of Padang State University Library and Information Science students in the Good category (2) Padang State University Library and Information Science student's thesis writing motivation in the Good category (3) Library utilization has a significant effect on student thesis writing motivation Padang State University library and information science.

From the old days, a librarian has been expected to have some knowledge of the subject his library aimes to cover, and of one or two foreign languages, besides his knowledge of library science.It is not quite unusual today for someone with some natural science background and library science education to seek a job at a medical library. However, it would be yet an exceptional case, if a medical doctor becomes a professional librarian. Accordingly, a course of elementary knowledge in medical science and its terminology is necessary for education of medical librarians.About 60 per cent of the books and journals in medical libraries in Japan are in foreign languages. And English is predominant as an international language in the medical science fields.Besides the knowledge of general library science a medical librarian is expected to have additional knowledge of medical library administration and of medical bibliography.Because of the development of MEDLARS, medical libraries in the United States became more active in literature search and other information services. And the Knowledge relating to these activities is getting to be another necessary requirement for medical librarians.In Japan, a nation wide network of interlibrary loan service among medical libraries has been well established by the effort of the Japan Medical Library Association. However, but when it comes to information service, even though the International Medical Information Center, Inc. (IMIC) is handling more than 700 manual search requests a year, and the Japan Information Center for Science and Technology (JICST) began its service as a MEDLARS search center for this country from June 1972, no systematic (nation wide) service exists.Computer applications in various medical information activities are being developed rapidly, but the Japanese medical librarians are left behind of this development. In the United States, as is it was shown in the effort of the Curriculum Committee of the Special Interest Group/Education for Information Science of the American Society for Information Science in determining the core curriculum of education for librarians and information specialists, the need for more advanced information services which require the knowledge of behavior science, computer science, system theory, mathematics, linguistics and traditional library and information science is fully realized.The IMIC is providing the scientists and other workers in the field of health science with various information services, such as retrospective and current awareness literature search, translation, indexing, abstracting and other similar activities. The core of the knowledge needed for the staff of the IMIC are elementary knowledge of health science and its terminology, and English, in addition to the basic theory of library and information science. The skill and knowledge of literature search technology is also required for the people who work at the various sections of the Literature Information Service Division of the IMIC.Among other knowledge and skills considered necessary for the Center’s staff, elementary of system theory and of computer science are regarded as more important ones.At the moment, in Japan, no library school is teaching any special course for medical librarians, but the course is necessary if medical libraries are expected to serve their clients satisfactorily in the new field of information service.In the United States, in 1968, there were already 17 library schools offering some specialized courses for education of medical librarians. These courses can be classified into three groups; those designed to provide a general introduction to medical librarianship, those devoted primarily to medical bibliography, and those developed to provide instruction in depth in specialized aspects of medical librarianship.The School of Library and Information Science of Keio University at the moment does not provide any specialized course for education of medical librarians. When we think about the fact that more than one fifth of their graduates work at medical libraries, it would be desirable for the school to establish such courses for medical librarians as those presently given by some of the American library schools.

IntroductionWorkforce Issues in Library and Information Science Joanne Gard Marshall (bio), Paul Solomon (bio), and Susan Rathbun-Grubb (bio) Beyond buildings, collections, and services, the library and information science (LIS) workforce is key to the success of many aspects of a knowledge economy. LIS professionals partner with educators in the instruction of youth and young adults, support reading and information literacy required for productive participation in society over the life course, enable research and development through access to research findings and translational systems, and promote commerce through Web development and organization and retrieval of information, to name just a few of their service objectives. Whereas librarianship has a long history as a profession, the expanded field of library and information science presents many new opportunities for information professionals to work in non-library settings. Occupational employment data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2008) estimate that there are 151,170 librarians, 113,510 library technicians, 5,330 archivists, and 3,960 library science post-secondary faculty in the workforce (not including self-employed workers). The American Library Association (2009) estimates the number employed in academic, public, and school libraries at 329,941. Library and information science professionals working outside of libraries are much harder to identify and their numbers tend to be spread among various occupational categories. The U.S. National Center for Education Statistics (2008) reports that there were 6,767 master's degrees in library science conferred by degree-granting institutions in the academic year 2006–7. While the number of degrees has been slowly increasing since the late 1990s, the supply of new graduates does not appear to be adequate for the number of retirements that will take place as the baby boomers leave the workforce. According to Dohm (2000), the impact of the retirement of seventy-six million boomers on U.S. labor supply will be greatest in the decade following 2008. As [End Page 121] shown in table 1, Dohm (2000) presented Bureau of Labor Statistics data that placed librarians seventh on a list of occupations with the highest percentage of workers aged forty-five years and older in 1998, at which time the median age of librarians was forty-seven, compared to age thirty-nine for all twenty-four occupations on the list. Concern continues to be expressed about potential LIS workforce shortages, given the expected baby boomer retirements, and the need for increased recruitment, diversity, succession planning, and leadership development in the profession. Less attention has been paid to retention of LIS professionals at various career stages, although this is another strategy that is worthy of consideration, given the nature of the workforce challenges that lie ahead. Given this concern, it is an ideal time for an issue of Library Trends that begins to take stock of some of the major issues related to the LIS workforce and to lay a foundation for future research and workforce planning at all levels. In 2004, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) initiated the 21st Century Librarian Program, which made workforce research a priority. In the same year, IMLS funded a national study on the Future of Librarians in the Workforce being conducted by Griffiths, et al. (www.libraryworkforce.org). The national study aims to project the supply and demand for librarians and to provide data from a wide variety of surveys of libraries, library employees, employers, career counselors, educators, and other groups. In 2005, IMLS funded another large scale workforce study by Marshall, et al. (www.wilis.unc.edu), which provided an in-depth look at the careers of graduates of the six LIS programs in North Carolina from 1964–2007. A follow-up study known as WILIS 2 is using the recent graduates' portion of the full retrospective career study as a basis for creating an alumni tracking survey that a wide range of LIS programs can potentially use. Other major LIS research studies have also been undertaken by the 8Rs Research Team in Canada (2005) and the Colorado State Library (Steffen, Lance, Russell, & Lietzau, 2004). In 2004, the Archival Census and Education Needs Survey in the United States, also funded by IMLS, was conducted by the Society of...

The SRELS Journal of Information Management was started in 1964 with the title Library Science with a Slant to Documentation under the sponsorship of the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS). It is now a peer reviewed periodical. With the advent of e-publishing, keeping with the trend, an online version is also available. At the beginning the papers mainly focused on the research conducted at DRTC in particular, Library Classification and Library Cataloguing, Documentation and gradually extended its coverage to new areas of interest e.g. Computer Applications, Library Management and Information Systems. During the 1970's, when CSIR/NISSAT was launched, special issues devoted to Information Systems - planning and organization, were brought out. Now the periodical is fully multidisciplinary, covering all facets of Library and Information Science (LIS). This paper attempts to map the subjects of the papers of this periodical which has spanned the last fifty years. The analysis would serve as a check list for the areas of current and traditional subject interests in the field of LIS. The paper will also highlight the important contributions this periodical has made for the progress and development of LIS during the last fifty years.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to find out about the collection development and management in the public libraries governed by the government or its agencies in Delhi and compare them with the international standards for public libraries. Design/methodology/approach – In all, Delhi has three chains of public libraries namely Delhi Public Library (DPL), like Hardayal Municipal Public Library (HMPL) and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) public libraries. The librarian/heads of selected branches were approached with a structured questionnaire aimed at collecting information on the collection development and managements in these libraries and selected branches. The data were then analysed and interpreted. Findings – It was found that with the advent of ICT and its impact on the society, it is evident that the public libraries are not making the desired effort to reach out to the public and make it more appealing to the users. The main problem with the library remains to be the lack of membership. A few initiatives have been taken, but still there were not many digital services being provided by these public libraries in the present day digital environment. Research limitations/implications – The study was limited to the public libraries within the physical region of Delhi only. Practical implications – The evaluation sheds light on the existing scenario of public libraries in Delhi and may contribute in their future development. Social implications – With the acceptance of the international standards as suggested in the study, the public libraries in Delhi would be better able to provide information resources and services to the masses. The better learned masses make the society more advanced. An information rich society would thus lead to an overall growth and development of the state. Originality/value – There have been many studies in the past on DPL but none have intended to cover other public libraries chains like HMPL and NDMC public libraries which are governed by the government or its agencies and are established with aim of imparting information to the population of Delhi. Also, a similar the comparison with international standards was never done earlier.

Applications of inferential statistical methods in library and information science

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report results of a study which investigated the growth of open access (OA) journals across the world with reference to the Asian region. Details of 117 OA journals were collected from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) to determine the geographic distribution, language of publication and growth of periodical year-wise. The study makes detail analysis of four OA periodical published from India, Iran, Pakistan and Taiwan. Pattern of authorship and contribution according to nature of professional work were analyzed. The study reveals that most contributions were made by teaching professionals in comparison to working library and information officers. Single-authored contributions dominated (44 per cent) in all periodicals of the Asian region, indicating low amount of teamwork/collaborative contributions to library and information science (LIS) research by the authors of this region. To know the subject distribution of articles, the study was limited to 27 ...

Humans have used electronic information retrieval (IR) systems for more than 50 years as they evolved from experimental systems to full-scale Web search engines and digital libraries. The fields of library and information science (LIS), cognitive science, human factors and computer science have historically been the leading disciplines in conducting research that seeks to model human interaction with IR systems for all kinds of information related behaviors. As technology problems have been mastered, the theoretical and applied framework for studying human interaction with IR systems has evolved from systems-centered to more user-centered, or cognitive-centered approaches. However, cognitive information retrieval (CIR) research that focuses on user interaction with IR systems is still largely under-funded and is often not included at computing and systems design oriented conferences. But CIR-focused research continues, and there are signs that some IR systems designers in academia and the Web search business are realizing that user behavior research can provide valuable insights into systems design and evaluation. The goal of our book is to provide an overview of new CIR research directions. This book does not provide a history of the research field of CIR. Instead, the book confronts new ways of looking at the human information condition with regard to our increasing need to interact with IR systems. The need has grown due to a number of factors, including the increased importance of information to more people in this information age. Also, IR was once considered document-oriented, but has now evolved to include multimedia, text, and other information objects. As a result, IR systems and their complexity have proliferated as users and user purposes for using them have also proliferated. Human interaction with IR systems can often be frustrating as people often lack an understanding of IR system functionality. New more holistic directions in CIR are emerging that conceptualize human-IR system interaction at the human-computer interaction level (taking into account interface issues), the information behavior level (taking into account the role of IR system interaction in the total range of people’s information behaviors), and the

The aim of this paper is to map the intellectual structure of research in doctoral dissertations of Library and Information Science in China. By use of Co-word analysis, including cluster analysis, strategic diagram and social network analysis, we studied the internal and external structure and relationship of research fields in doctoral dissertations of Library and Information Science in China. Data was collected, during the period of 1994---2011, from six public dissertation databases and ten degree databases provided by the universities/institutes which have been authorized to grant doctoral degrees of Library and Information Science in China. The results show that Wuhan University is the most important institution of doctoral education in LIS in China. The focuses of researches, including information resource, ontology, semantic web, semantic search, electronic government, information resource management, knowledge management, knowledge innovation, knowledge sharing, knowledge organization, network, information service, information need and digital library. The research fields of LIS doctoral dissertations in China are varied. Many of these research fields are still immature; accordingly, the well-developed and core research fields are fewer.

Information Organization and the Mysterious Information User Francis Miksa (bio) For the whole of the last four hundred years—the modern period—those in the chief expressions of what we might call the information service professions—bibliography, librarianship, indexing, documentation, computerized information storage and retrieval, archives, records management, and museum work—have made it their business to aggregate informational objects (or their surrogate descriptions) in such a way as to help people (information users) identify, gain access to, and interact with them. These actions have led to the creation of systems organizing both discrete informational objects and portions (often even snippets) of the objects. During my career I have studied and written about many such systems. My method had been to focus especially on how essential concept words and terms (e.g., "information users") have been used (i.e., to what did they refer, what roles have they played) and how their uses and what they referred to have changed over time. This led me in the early 1980s to investigate the sources of particular ideas in Charles Cutter's subject access work and in the work of those who followed him in incorporating subject heading systems in the dictionary catalog.1 Afterward, I applied the same methods to the idea of "classification" across several fields, to the idea of "library and information science," and to "information organization" as a general concept.2 During the same period I had many occasions of considering the concepts of information users and use, the natural complement of information systems themselves, but I have not written extensively about them.3 Thinking through such concepts immediately brings one face to face with many heady questions. For example, how might we characterize information users and the use or uses to which informational objects might be put by those people? How have these people been characterized and described in the past and present, and under what circumstances have they been characterized in one way or another? [End Page 343] When, for example, did the practice arise of calling them "information users" and their interaction with the information objects "information use"? What broader social and cultural phenomena can be correlated with the conceptualizations, and what tentative conclusions can one draw from what is discovered? The purpose of this essay is to bring together my thoughts on information users and use. These will be presented chiefly in the form of a historical survey of how reference to information users (and, by implication, information use) has changed over the modern period in history (beginning at about A.D. 1500) and up to the present. Before attempting to address such characterizations I will comment on both the timeframe involved and the words of my title. Afterward I will summarize what I have covered and provide some broader suggestions about the matter. Preliminary Comments It has become a commonplace opinion recently that consideration of information users and use not only is relatively recent but also is the cause of creating two main subfields in the information studies field that, according to some, represent a fundamental split in the field. Tefco Saracevic, for example, in a series of writings that began in 1991, concludes that our field has come to have two primary focal points or subdisciplines, one focused on information system making, the other on information users and use. He claims that the systems emphasis, under the name "information retrieval," was the original center of the field, that it began with Vannevar Bush's article in 1945 entitled "As We May Think," and that it is the most robust portion of the field. He identifies the 1970s and 1980s as the time in which user studies began. Claiming support from White and McCain's 1998 cocitation analysis of the 120 most cited authors of the field, he concludes that these two elements of the field barely overlap or communicate with each other (much to their respective losses), and if someone were to find a way to unite them, he or she would, so to speak, go down in history as a hero.4 Douglas Raber, in contrast, finds the two realms so different in their views of the underlying phenomenon of information...
