Abstract

More than one thousand supervisors and administrators in university and college libraries were asked where they thought it would be desirable to acquire professional knowledge and skills. Based on a cross tabulation of 939 usable responses, three patterns of acquiring knowledge bases are found as follows. (1)independent, (2) complex I, (3) complex II.<br> Then, scatterplots of the rating on thirty-nine knowledge bases and perceptions of where they are better acquired were generated to identify the core curriculum for library science education. As a result, several knowledge bases should viewed by academic librarians as basic professional knowledge and skills learned through formal library education programs in universities and colleges, including descriptive cataloging, classification and subject cataloging, general reference sources, reference services, library legisrations and professional standards.<br> Final part of this paper provides a summary of analysis on how library supervisors and administrators appreciate library science education for the preparation of academic librarianship in terms of necessity of the professional certificate, preference in the hiring of junior staffs, and adequacy of the library science curriculum regulated by the Library Act.<br> Tentative conclusions and directions for further research and discussion are identified.
