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.

  • 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

This is possible when the library collections, after due processing are housed properly only then makes an easy and convenient access to users in getting the books of their own choice in the least possible time. The maintenance section of a library is entrusted with the task of physical storage of books and their orderly arrangement in the stack areas. If this is not done properly then the books would become unserviceable in no time. In other words, the books should be arranged on the shelves properly so as to fulfil the fourth law of the library science, viz., “save the time of the readers”. After reading this Unit, you will be able to: explain the value of maintenance work in a library; shelve the books on a library shelf; suggest a suitable stacking system for a library; describe the shelf arrangement for different types of books in a library; and carry out shelf rectification to take care of the books. 6.1 INTRODUCTION Keeping in view of the essence of the fourth law of library science, the books after due processing are to be properly shelved and displayed in a library.
