The research quantitatively analyzed KO course descriptions in order to identify the modules covered in these LIS programs' curricula. Information was gathered from the course descriptions available on the schools' websites. All the identified modules were identified, tagged, and listed for further analysis. Modules were selected because they cover courses that are KO dedicated or that have parts of the courses that pertained to KO. The results showed that information organization and cataloging are the most taught KO modules; bibliographic control and organization are second and metadata is third. Indexing, classification, and subject analysis also received a marked emphasis; other modules, such as taxonomies, ontologies, thesauri, and digital libraries, have not yet received as much significance in LIS curricula. These results corroborate the findings of similar studies reported in the literature. |
