Abstract

The purpose of this study is to give a challenge LIS field and serve a starting point for the discussion on iSchool. To achieve the study purpose, this study conducted in-depth interview with LIS scholars. Qualitative method was utilized to analyze the interview data. According to the study results, current curriculum reorganization is required for the success of Korean iSchool. In addition, the followings are the expected effects of iSchool: 1)increased possibility of interdisciplinary research and education, 2)expansion of LIS identity, and 3)creation of a new image of LIS. However, there was anxiety about losing LIS's unique identity as an librarian education institute.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 문헌정보학계에 iSchool에 대한 학문적 관심을 환기시키고 이를 통해 iSchool에 대한 연구의 시발점을 마련하고자 하는 것이다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 문헌정보학자들과의 심층인터뷰를 진행하였으며 인터뷰자료는 질적 분석 방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 우리나라에 iSchool을 도입하기위해서는 교과과정의 개편을 통한 교육의 다변화가 필요하며 iSchool 도입을 통해서는 융, 복합 연구 및 교육의 기회, 현 문헌정보학의 위기 돌파를 위한 외연의 확장, 문헌정보학에 대한 새로운 이미지의 구축이 가능할 것이라는 기대가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 iSchool의 도입은 사서양성 교육기관으로서의 문헌정보학의 정체성마저 위협할 수 있다는 위기의식 또한 존재하는 것으로 나타났다.
