Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze such discourse as mission statements and objectives, goals, and strategic plan of iSchools. Educational changes created by the digital reality and prevalent information systems and computers became an increasingly important part of library and information science. As a result, library and information schools joined iSchools as the cooperative effort to advance and to understand the rapid changes. These positioning validated the missions, objectives, goals of iSchools and thus an analysis of these documents can lead the way to the future of LIS education. For this job a qualitative analysis were performed to scrutinize the awareness of, support for and involvement with the field among key constituencies.

이 연구의 목적은 현재 북미를 중심으로 확산되고 있는 iSchool movement의 추이를 살펴보고 이러한 움직임이 문헌정보학 교육의 미래에 어떠한 도전과 기회를 제공하는지 가늠해 보는 것이다. 북미의 주요 iSchool들이 생산한 공식 문건들을 분석하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 이러한 움직임이 과연 정보에 대한 연구에 있어서 다학문적 접근과 미래지향성이라는 목적을 충실히 내화하고 있는지 논의하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 iSchool과 관련된 논의의 역사적 맥락을 짚어내고 이러한 변화가 각 학과(school)의 전략적 계획과 사명 등 공식 문건에 어떻게 반영되어 있는지, 그리고 실제학과의 교육 프로그램에서 이러한 변화가 얼마나 현실화되고 확산되어 있는지 분석하였다. 구체적으로는, 각 iSchool의 사명, 교육목적과 목표, 그리고 전략적 계획 등에 대한 비판적 담론 분석을 통하여 iSchool movement의 현단계와 향후의 발전 방향을 진단하였다. 이를 통하여 미국에 있어서의 이러한 변화가 우리 문헌정보학계에 암시하는 바는 무엇인지 가늠해 보고자 하였다.
