Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the current XML-related courses available in 96 LIS schools in South East
Asia and Taiwan's 9 LIS schools. Also, this study investigates the linkage of library school graduates in
Taiwan who took different levels of XML-related education (that is XML arranged as an individual course or
XML arranged as a section unit in courses) and their professional qualification. Research questions
include what is the availability of XML-related courses in countries in Taiwan and South East Asia? What
are Taiwan LIS graduates' views on degree of XML-related courses satisfaction, cognition of learning XML
technology, and views of XML-related courses? What is the linkage of Taiwan LIS graduates who studied
different levels of XML-related education and their professional qualifications? This study applies 3
research methodologies: information gathering from the internet; questionnaire surveys; in-depth
interviews. Results of the analysis show that LIS schools should provide optional XML-related courses
with practical sessions, and library associations should provide regular XML-related continuing education
to enhance LIS students' professional qualifications.
