Korean people tried in many ways to establish their own libraries in 20th century. Many library thinkers, intellectuals, and librarians have struggled to build 1 modern libraries in communities or nationwide. Although Korea has a brilliant history of record and print, it has been so hard to establish libraries for the Korean people during last century. The Korean libraries have endured hardships such as Japanese colonialism, Korean War, and military dictatorship. This paper examines the Korean people’s efforts to establish libraries, and it looks into the history of library movement in Korea. And also this paper introduces the recent reading campaigns such as ‘Bookstart’, ‘One Book One City’. With historical lessons suggested in this paper, people may have some insight to make and develop libraries in Korea. 2 1. Introduction Korean public libraries in the 20th Century grew by undergoing history of formidable obstacles.

Bankers, engineers, industrialists, lawyers and government agencies — to mention only a few specialized interests — have a growing stake in the products of the techniques. Therefore, these types of photographic reproduction by no means may be considered the special province of the professional archivist, documentalist, or librarian. Quite on the contrary, it seems evident that in years to come investigators working in a growing number of dis- ciplines must take careful account of such means for securing a more complete mastery of materials basic to their research, For the information of such research workers the bibliog- raphy of selected references which follows has been prepared.

  • Building Preservation 211
    Building Preservation 211 Building Preservation: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s Stacks Assessment Thomas H. Teper and Stephanie S. Atkins This article discusses the results of two collection assessments conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The library’s Preserva- tion Committee completed the first assessment and reported its results in College & Research Libraries in 1989. The second assessment was com- pleted in 2002 and accompanies the institution’s initiative to establish the library’s first centralized preservation and conservation program. Both as- sessments focused on the central stacks collection, a repository collection serving the institution’s forty-two branch and departmental libraries. Although a reanalysis of the first assessment’s data was impossible, the authors attempted to draw comparisons between the two assessments’ results. Af- ter thirteen years without a preservation program and without any signifi- cant facilities improvements, the results provide insight into the results of deferred collections care and facilities maintenance and offer guidance for conducting similar studies with other research library collections. ince the publication of the sur- than fifty years.2 Written thirty years af- vey results from Stanford ter Barrow published his research, the University’s Green Library in authors in Illinois indicated that the real- 1982, the library preservation ity of this prediction was becoming “pain- community has come to rely on collection fully obvious” to librarians

  • The Separate Undergraduate Library
    ELIZABETH MILLS The Separate Undergraduate Library A new phenomenon came into being in 1949 with the opening of the first separate library for undergraduates in a university. Many have now been built, and more are planned. This paper discusses some of the thinking that preceded their development. It analyzes three of them—Lamont, Michigan, and UCLA—in some detail, and speculates as to their future.
