Abstract
The purpose of this article is to figure out the structural problems which have threaten both scholarship and profession of Library and Information Science in South Korea. In details, this study discusses such major weakness in Korean LIS as vague academic identity, poor research activities, and unreasonable educational systems. The emphasis for discussion is on identifying the unique and indigenous variables which have had deep influences on both development process and current crisis of Korean LIS. Finally suggested are the strategies and methods for promoting the good health of Korean Library and Information Science as an independent academic discipline as well as a prospective profession.
