This ‘subject specialization’rs and services for them more than other factors in planning an dstructuring their organization. The number of university librar ies which try to adopt that organization has been continuously increasing.To settle ‘subject specialization’in the university libraries under Korea ’should consider one’s own conditions and step the reasonable procedure in adopting that system. Considering the similar conditionwhich the university libraries in Korea face such as shortage o f material support, “Mixed Model of subject specialization”is reasonable,anization is adopted and in Reference Service, subjectspecialization is adopted. However, the ideal and final destina tion of Korea’s university libraries is the adoption of “Full subjectspecialized model”; it can be reached when they are supported by sufficient human resources and good conditions.
