As global communications and technology continue to become more available and sophisticated, LIS programs need to prepare students for employment in rapidly changing and globalized LIS professions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>Data from a total of 63 programs from the American Library Association (ALA) and 32 programs from the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) was collected through openly accessible websites of these programs. Areas explored include program name, name and level of the academic unit offering the program, credit hours, required courses, percentage of required courses and capstone measurements used within the different LIS programs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>A majority of programs still preserve the keyword \u201cLibrary\u201d in their name, but not the academic units offering them. Most programs in ALA and CILIP follow a semester-based program. Research methods, internships, practical experience, combined with traditional library core and information technology requirements were found to constitute the major subjects in general. Comprehensive exams were replaced by e-portfolios among ALA programs while a dissertation remains the preferred choice of capstone requirement for CILIP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>Scant studies compare accredited LIS programs worldwide, motivating the study of the similarities, differences and trends of LIS programs under the current globalized technology-driven knowledge economy. This paper seeks to fill the literature gap and promote a global discussion and understanding of LIS curricula in different regions of the world, guiding potential students to select their suitable LIS programs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/lht-12-2021-0442","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,12]],"date-time":"2022-02-12T16:59:23Z","timestamp":1644685163000},"page":"1721-1745","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["A quantitative review of LIS programs accredited by ALA and CILIP under contemporary technology advancement"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Andrew Chean Yang","family":"Yew","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7926-9568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dickson K.W.","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yuriko","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0377-3140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"King Kwan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2022120611174815100_ref001","unstructured":"ALA (2022), \u201cALA accredited programs\u201d, available at: http:\/\/www.ala.org\/educationcareers\/accreditedprograms."},{"key":"key2022120611174815100_ref002","unstructured":"ALISE (2016), \u201cResearch taxonomy\u201d, available at: https:\/\/www.alise.org\/research-taxonomy."},{"issue":"2","key":"key2022120611174815100_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"230","DOI":"10.1353\/lac.2011.0011","article-title":"The history of information science and other traditional information domains: models for future research","volume":"46","year":"2011","journal-title":"Libraries and the Cultural Record"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2022120611174815100_ref004","first-page":"125","article-title":"Information seeking and information retrieval: the core of the information curriculum?","volume":"48","year":"2007","journal-title":"Journal of Education for Library and Information Science"},{"key":"key2022120611174815100_ref005","unstructured":"Beheshti, J.
