Abstract

臺灣的圖書館學碩士教育始於民國69 年臺灣大學圖書館學研究所的成立，民國81 年各圖書館學校改名為圖書資訊學系所，如今發展成7 所碩士班規模。臺灣圖書資訊學碩士教育發展大致分為三階段：成長時期（民國69 年－80 年）；發展時期（民國81 年－90 年）；轉型時期（民國91 年－迄今）。本研究旨在探討臺灣圖書資訊學碩士教育歷史發展，蒐集7 所碩士班，以及停辦的交通大學數位圖書資訊碩士在職專班，從民國69 年迄今陳述碩士教育現況、發展歷史、課程發展與碩士論文研究發展，最後探討問題與展望。本文從社會、科技、經濟、政治、教育層面綜合分析，最後歸納出影響發展的因素，以解釋臺灣圖書資訊學碩士教育的本質與特色。希望重建過去，並作為未來發展的指引與借鑑。
