Universities regularly update their curriculums to actively respond to internal and external environmental changes. Korean universities face challenges, including a steady decline in enrollment and demand-oriented convergence education. Because of the nature of convergence science, library and information science should respond more actively to new challenges. This study analyzes the current status of library and information science courses according to subjects and universities. Data was collected from the websites of each university, and various methods such as text analysis, frequency analysis, and network analysis were applied to investigate current status of LIS in Korea.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info11010019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,27]],"date-time":"2019-12-27T11:42:47Z","timestamp":1577446967000},"page":"19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Course Analysis of Library and Information Science in Korea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yelim","family":"Mo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Library and Information Science, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Euntaek","family":"Seon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Library and Information Science, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Goun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Library and Information Science, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haklae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Library and Information Science, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"120","article-title":"Library and Information Science: An Historical Perspective","volume":"20","author":"Rayward","year":"1985","journal-title":"J.
