ABSTRACT

This study is a qualitative case study that examines how an experience of working in the library changes the perception on the career among the college students majoring library and information science. Nineteen students working as library supporters at Library B located in Gyeonggi-do Province, Korea were chosen as the research subject. An in-depth interview was individually conducted to observe the subject’s career goal, career choice, experience as a library supporter, perception on the supporter program, and change of thoughts on career after participating in the supporters program. In the study result, the students perceived that the library supporter was a very meaningful activity that lets them learn about the actual librarian work and prepares them for future job as a librarian. Also, the supporting activity provides the students with a good opportunity to check in advance whether the librarian work fits them when they choose the future career.
