In the era of knowledge and information society, specialists with a specific concentration are more appreciated than broad knowledge. Therefore, it is a growing trend that universities and departments restructure their vision and plans to foster specialized professionals. While responding to the needs of working libraries and adhering to the basic educational goals, the Programs of the library and information science sector should be flexible to the external changes. In this sense, each university should develop customized curriculum based on its related policies, resources, and surrounding circumstances, with an emphasis on specialization over standardization. This paper discusses how to build specialized education programs in line with specific environments that each university is surrounded with, and by doing so, raise information professionals with specialized concentrations.

Curriculum is essential for primary and secondary education. The development of the 2022 revised curriculum, which is Korea's national level curriculum has been completed. Nevertheless, the library and information life, which are curriculums for information literacy instruction remain in the structure of the 2009 curriculum. In this study, I analyze the structure and contents of the curriculum for information utilization education in Pennsylvania, USA, identify trends in information literacy instruction, and present the direction of revision of library and information life. The Pennsylvania curriculum for information literacy instruction has an overall structure consisting of long-term transfer goals, big ideas(inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore, engage), concepts, competencies, and essential questions. In addition, there is a detailed structure consisting of stage l(desired results), stage 2(assessment evidence of learning) and stage (learning plan).

This study is to suggest the ways to make the education in Library and Information Science more professional and more practical by going through the problems in the curriculum of Library and Information Science in the aspect of 'reference service'. For this purpose, the curriculum changes of 32 domestic universities offering Library and Information Science between 2005 and 2009 was analyzed and compared with the current situation of the U.S. The research has revealed some problems. First of all, it shows that the subjects such as the introduction of or the theory of library and information science still comprise a large portion of the domestic curriculum. Additionally, there seems to be much difference in the number of subjects between the universities. Lastly, there are few subjects which consist of the observation and understanding of the library field, and participation therein. Therefore, to operate the 'reference service' curriculum effectively, it is necessary to offer courses for understanding the users and subjects and for the reference service. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the practical education through a close connection with the library field. Finally, it is urgent not only to expand the subjects for improving the ability of user education and communication but also to make the curriculum of each university specialized.

As the teaching and learning paradigm shifts, the demand for informal learning is increasing. In this study, we reviewed related literature and analyzed cases of operating professional learning communities in order to apply professional learning communities to librarianship education and training programs. Seven operational cases of professional learning communities, both domestic and foreign, within the field of librarianship and other fields were selected. The organizational structure, operational format and method, learning content, and support systems were analyzed. Through this analysis, the concept of a librarian learning community was defined, and implications for organizing and operating a librarian learning community were derived from the spontaneity and multi-layeredness of composition, diversity of learning community operation formats, and fieldality of learning content. As a support system for the smooth operation and activation of the librarian learning communities continuity of program operation by the operating organization, support and cooperation from affiliated organizations, education and training programs, platform establishment and operation, and dissemination and feedback of results for activation were presented.
