ABSTRACT

Continuing education for librarians in Korea are coping with such problems as the inevitability of plans for the increasing demand for library education, needs for professional teaching personnel for the development of the curricula for the Continuing education, strategies to develop the competences of librarians for the new information ecology, designing e-learning contents for librarians, etc. In this regard, this study intends to analyze the current status of continuing education for librarians in Korea and in foreign countries. It attempts to draw some implications, and to present suggestions. It, specifically, focuses on the role of the National Library of Korea as main actor of continuing education for librarians in Korea. The suggestions made are to change the educational system with a creation of an independent institute, as it will bring up professional teaching personnel to work on continuing education for librarians, and will develop initiatives for the new educational system which embraces the changes in educational platforms.
