自一九八０年臺灣大學正式設立圖書館學研究所以來，臺灣地區培育圖書館學碩 士人才的學校計有臺大、淡江、輔大、政大及文化大學等五所。本文旨在檢討當今國內圖書 館學碩士教育之實施，並試圖歸納改革因應的措施建議。鑑於資訊科技的快速發展，圖書館 的營運已逐漸喪失其專業性，此種現象也牽動圖書館學的專業教育。總的來說，圖書館學研 究所面臨：一、名稱的爭議、二、學院歸屬、三、失焦的教育目標、四、核心課程的難產、 五、學生來源狹隘、六、本土性教材、七、研究工作等困境。作者建議：一、對未來圖書館 學校教育的革新需由上而下，有整體性的規劃、二、儘速研擬圖書館學教育白皮書、三、加 強研究方法的相關課程、四、制訂評鑑圖書館學課程的標準、五、促進圖書館學與其他學科 之互動、六、提倡網路化教學、建構虛擬課程。
