ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to suggest ways to improve medical librarians’ educational programs to improve domestic medical library user services. To this end, the role of medical librarians was investigated, and the education areas were itemized, and then the MLA in the US and the KMLA in Korea were compared and analyzed. As a result, the improvement points for medical librarian education programs in Korea are: First, expansion of certification programs that select various types of education programs, education areas, education contents, and specialized fields, collaboration programs with related institutions, and education programs that advocate the value of KMLA are required. Second, there is a need for various educational programs in the current educational areas, such as ‘research support service’ and ‘education/education design/consultation’. In particular, it is necessary to provide ‘consumer health information service’ and ‘disaster information service’ for which there is no education at all. In addition, it is necessary to precede the establishment of regulations on the domestic medical librarian education curriculum for the education of various ‘information services in the field related to medicine’. Third, it is necessary to provide online education contents for librarians who have difficulty participating in face-to-face education.
