The objective of this research is to search for measures to properly respond to the greatly increasing demands of complex information disclosure. At present, South Korea makes the deployment of records managers at public institutions mandatory through the Records Act. Records disclosure goes beyond simply deciding on the revelation and private usage of records, and requires the professionalism of institutions such as task knowledge and law-related knowledge. However, most records managers lack professionalism in the task of records disclosure despite achieving such in their regular work of managing records. As a countermeasure for such issues, this research is proposing the introduction of a series of exclusive charges in records disclosure named the Government Information Specialist, which professionally manages the records disclosure of the US government. In addition, to understand the demand of such, surveys and interviews of records managers who undertake both records management and records disclosure tasks at a South Korean public institution was also conducted.
