  • Scientific documentation is one of the three preconditions for scientific research and its technical application in the industrialization process. To solve the documentation problems on an international level, UNESCO promotes abstracting, standardization of terminology and of scientifc publications, automatic information processing and translating. Moreover, UNESCO has helped to establish since 1950, on the request of interested national governments, 12 documentation centers within the framework of United Nations Technical Assistance Programme by providing experts, fellowships and equipment. Some data on these documentation centers and a comparison of their features should be of interest for all those who wish to set up new documentation centers or to improve already existing ones.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore the concept, contents, and curriculum of MIL(Media and Information Literacy) proposed by UNESCO from the perspective of Library and Information Science to obtain the basic information necessary for the revision of the Library and Information Life curriculum and to derive implications. As a result of the analysis, UNESCO used the term MIL to highlight the characteristics and importance of information literacy in media education. The information literacy and library literacy were key factors in forming the concept and curriculum of MIL. UNESCO also presented 'information literacy and library skills' as essential areas of the MIL curriculum, as well as core competencies and achievement criteria. In addition, the MIL curriculum actively embraces information literacy and library literacy, with the five laws of MIL based on the five laws of library science. The results of this study could be used as a basis for the reason why MIL should be actively accepted in Library and Information Science and for the revision of Library and Information Life curriculum.
