Abstract
This study aims at reviewing and analyzing the characteristics of library and information science in Korea by examming the research papers in two representative journals. In Korea, related scholarly associations have began about twenty years ago and produced a lot of research papers. For this work, I have established two aspects of knowledge system - cognitive object and subject. In this regards, the cognitive object menas the contents of research papers and the cognitive subject means the research methodology. In my opinion, this study obtains some characteristics of library and information science in Korea as follows: 1. There have been many research fields, but most of them have finished with just one or two results and not researched. 2. The adaption of information science to library science was hasty and had not the good effects in scholastic development. 3. Most research papers have been influenced by methodological prejudices. 4. In settling the native principles for the Korean phenomenon, there have been many problems. To solve these problems, I suggest that the existing research attitudes be converted to new one. I call this new research attitude 'everyday life centered research method'. Using this method, we can find the true basics and principles of library and information science in Korea.
