The Knowledge Acquired in "History of Books and Libraries": An Analysis of Index Terms in Textbooks
Abstract
"History of Books and Libraries" is a library and information science education subject in Japanese universities. However, no study has analyzed the contents of the subject. Thus, this study aims to clarify the knowledge acquired based on analyzed textbook index terms. Therefore, the knowledge covered in the subject is (1) centered on specific persons and libraries, (2) mostly related to Japan, with the United States and the United Kingdom being covered abroad, while Asian and Islamic countries are not so common, and (3) the emphasis is on the modern period. Furthermore, while the knowledge could be mentioned in other courses for library and information science education, "History of Books and Libraries" may provide a broader and more detailed explanation than other courses. Although the curriculum was changed during the 2009 revision of the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Library Act, there was no significant change in the knowledge covered in the subject.
