In response to the rapid changes in the global labor market and the widening gap between academia and industry, higher education must strengthen students’core competencies for career development. The field of Library and Information Science (LIS) has been greatly influenced by technological advancement and the transformation of knowledge services. Cultivating LIS students with employability, career self-efficacy, and career adaptability has become an essential goal. This study surveyed students from several LIS departments in Taiwan through a questionnaire to examine the overall performance and differences among three constructs. The results indicate that students demonstrated medium-to-high levels in all three aspects. Significant differences were found in gender and grade level, while institutional level and interdisciplinary learning experience showed no significant variation. Learning initiative and self-awareness were identified as key factors influencing career development. The study recommends that LIS departments develop tiered counseling and interdisciplinary curriculum support mechanisms based on students’characteristics and learning stages, to promote practical readiness and industry alignment. Students are also encouraged to enhance their employability, career self-efficacy, and career adaptability to strengthen professional growth and career competitiveness. |
