Korean School Librarian Teacher Appointment Exam study guide

사서교사 (librarian teacher) is the teaching credential that allows you to run a school library as a faculty member in a Korean secondary school - teaching information literacy and reading, not merely managing collections. Candidates are usually graduates of library and information science programmes who have completed the required teaching coursework, or qualified librarians moving into schools. Appointment is competitive and is made through the 중등학교 교사 임용후보자 선정경쟁시험 administered by each metropolitan or provincial office of education, so the practical details of each hiring round follow that office's annual announcement rather than a single national schedule. The first round is written: an education essay (교육학 논술) plus subject papers spanning classification and cataloguing, reference and information services, school library management, collection development and copyright, reading education, information literacy instruction, and bibliography and information science. The Korean School Librarian Teacher Appointment Exam study guide has 8 sections and about 1,537 words.
