| Abstract |
To assess various aspects of LIS education and job satisfaction, a survey was conducted among alumni of the Department of Library and Information Science at Fu-Jen Catholic University. From a set of questionnaire items, with regard to “goal and curriculum”, “the space fulfilled my learning needs” was rated the highest, and “the courses offered satisfied my job needs” was the lowest. Among the items in competitive ability, job adaptability, and job satisfaction, “information literacy” was the most highly rated, and both “programming skills” and “foreign language proficiency” were the lowest rated for satisfaction. Comparison between library and other professionals, respondents’ reactions toward some of the items differed significantly. Open-ended suggestions for future curriculum design were also provided from qualitative data.
