Abstract
Due to the increasingly growing Internet, many countries take a serious look at the new
information carrier. Few years ago, National Science Foundation (NSF) of USA initiated
research projects on Digital Libraries (DL). Other countries around the world also initiated many DL research projects recently. There are some DL projects undergoing now in Taiwan.
However, in the process of project execution, many project leaders find out that the students
involving in these projects are not well trained. This is not because of educational quality, but
the interdisciplinary characteristics of DL researches. The main purpose of this study is to
investigate the supporting courses for training manpower in the field of digital library.
After preliminary analysis, there is little consensus on the usage of terminology. As for
the curriculum, 36 courses are suggested by professors and experts. With comparison to the
current curriculum, a joint force from different departments is capable to cultivate the
necessary manpower for DL projects. Only six courses need to be initiated to compensate the
deficiency of the current curriculum. Due to the interdisciplinary characteristics of DL
projects, this paper suggests that 20 credits is the minimal requirement for students from
various fields to gain the basic knowledge and skills to involve DL projects.
