This research aims to examine the alignment of Library and Information Science (LIS) education curricula with the guidelines and standards set by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The study focuses on 14 universities in Thailand, evaluating their course offerings against the eight Foundation Knowledge Areas (FKAs) defined by IFLA: FKA1 Information in Society, FKA2 Foundations of the LIS Profession, FKA3 Information and Communication Technologies, FKA4 Research and Innovation, FKA5 Information Resources Management, FKA6 Management for Information Professionals, FKA7 Information Needs and User Services, and FKA8 Literacies and Learning. The results revealed a total of 431 courses, comprising 218 required courses and 213 elective courses. Analyzing the distribution of these courses, FKA3 Information and Communication Technologies had the highest number of courses overall, with 88 courses. When considering only required courses, FKA3 still has the highest number of courses, followed closely by FKA2 Foundations of the LIS Profession, which has a similar number of courses. For elective courses, FKA1 Information in Society and FKA6 Management for Information Professionals were tied as the most prevalent. The findings indicate a strong emphasis on technology and professional foundations in required courses, while societal information and management aspects dominate elective offerings. The study highlights areas of strength and potential gaps in current LIS curricula, providing valuable insights for future curriculum development in line with international standards.
