Abstract

The Council of the ALA has designated Committee on Accreditation to be responsible for the execution of the accreditation program of the ALA and to development and formulate standards of education for graduate programs of library and information studies leading to master's degree. The vast majority of employers require an ALA-accredited master's degree for professional positions in the field of library and information science; therefore, graduating from an ALA-accredited program enhances your career mobility and provides greater flexibility in the types of jobs for which you qualify. ALA-accredited master's programs can be found at colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

본 논문은 ALA 인증 문헌정보학교를 분석하는 것이 연구의 목적이다. 현재 ALA 인증위원회로부터 인증받은 석사과정 문헌정보학교는 57개교이다. 57개교가 기본 데이터이며, 이 정보원을 이용하여 다각적으로 분석하였다. 즉, 개교 연대, 개교시 학문명칭, 어떤 시기에 학과가 가장 많이 개설되었는지, 학문의 개정명칭, 어떤 학위과정의 프로그램 등이 개설되었는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 여기에서 얻은 결과를 한국의 문헌정보학의 교육의 향상성과 그 방향을 결정하는데 타산지석으로 삼고자 하였다.
