  • The Modern History of the Library Movement and Reading Campaign in Korea
    Date : 27/06/2006 The modern history of the library movement and reading campaign in Korea Yong-jae Lee Assistant Professor Department of Library, Archive and Information Studies Pusan National University, 30 Janjeon-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Pusan, 609-735 Republic of Korea And Jae-soon Jo, Librarian The Korean National University of Arts Library San 1-5, Seokgwang-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, 136-716 Republic of Korea Meeting: 119 Library History Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm ABSTRACT This paper explores the history of library movement and reading campaign in Korea since 1900. 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.

  • US Attorney General Releases New DOJ Charging and Sentencing Policy
    May 2017 U.S. Attorney General Releases New DOJ Charging and Sentencing Policy – Little Impact Anticipated for White Collar Cases and FCPA Pilot Program On May 12, 2017, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a two-page memorandum setting forth a new charging and sentencing policy for the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) (the “Sessions Memo,” available here). Except in limited circumstances, the new policy directs federal prosecutors to charge criminal defendants with “the most serious, readily provable offense,” and requires them to disclose to the sentencing court “all facts that impact the sentencing guidelines or mandatory minimum sentences.”1 The new policy rescinds a memorandum that former Attorney General Eric Holder issued on August 12, 2013 (the “Holder Memo,” available here), which instructed federal prosecutors to “conduct an individualized assessment of the extent to which charges fit the specific circumstances of the case.” While the Sessions Memo is likely to have a material impact in drug and violent crime cases, its effect on white-collar cases is less clear. Indeed, white-collar cases involve complex questions of intent, and the most “serious, readily provable offense” will likely continue to be subject to prosecutorial judgment and discretion. Importantly, DOJ has already issued a statement that the “[t]he [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act] pilot program is not affected by the new department charging and sentencing policy, as any potential exception made as part of the program would comply with the approval requirements laid out in the memo.”2, 3 1 The U.S. Sentencing Guidelines are non-binding rules that set forth a uniform sentencing policy for defendants convicted in the federal court system, which judges must consider in determining a criminal defendant’s sentence (available here).

    August 4, 2021 VIA E-MAIL Joon H. Kim Anne L. Clark Special Deputies to the First Deputy Attorney General Office of the Attorney General The Capitol Albany, NY 112224-0341 Re: Response to Special Investigators’ Report Dear Counsel: As outside counsel to the Executive Chamber, we write to express our client’s deep concerns about the fairness of your investigation, and the lack of neutrality and impartiality with which it was conducted and concluded. First, it is very disappointing that you refused to provide the subjects of the investigation, many of whom are current and former Chamber officers and employees, with an opportunity to review and respond to your findings before they became public today.1 Unlike civil litigation or criminal prosecutions, where an investigation is followed by the opportunity for a trial or a hearing, your report is the end of the line. There will be no formal setting in which those whose conduct the report discusses will have a meaningful opportunity to challenge, rebut, or even raise questions about the investigators’ accuracy, their credibility determinations, or their thoroughness. That lack of process explains why it has now become commonplace in circumstances like these for agencies such as the New York Inspector General,2 the U.S. Department of Justice’s 1 We also note that you did not even alert us that you were releasing your report today. 2 See, e.g., State of New York Offs. of the Inspector Gen., Investigation of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles Political Subdivision Program at 4 (Mar.

  • Scope of the Archive Service Accreditation Scheme
    Scope of Archive Service Accreditation Scheme 1. Formal Definitions Records 1.1 „information created, received, and maintained as evidence and information by an organization or person, in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transaction of business‟ (ISO15489-1) Archives 1.2 “Materials created or received by a person, family or organisation, public or private, in the conduct of their affairs and preserved because of the enduring value contained in them or as evidence of the functions and responsibilities of their creator, especially those materials maintained using the principles of provenance, original order and collective control; permanent records.” [our emphasis] (ISO 16175-1:2010) 1.3 Archives may be informal in terms of their format and the ‘business’ to which they relate: for example, a group of love letters may be created and maintained for ‘the conduct of...affairs’ of a personal and private nature. Archive Service 1.4 The word ‘Archives’ is also commonly used to refer to the place or institution where such material is kept. As the word is often misused to refer to mere ‘dumping grounds’ for older records which have ceased to be properly managed, but not yet destroyed, this scheme prefers the term ‘archive service ’, meaning: “An organisation, or part of an organisation, with a remit to manage and promote the preservation and use of archives in its custody” 1.5 Archive Services will normally have custody of the archives of their own parent organisation but may also have custody (but not necessarily ownership) of the archives of other organisations or persons. 1.6 Archive Services must offer some access to their archive collections beyond members of their own institution or organisation to seek formal accreditation under this scheme: however, this need not be their primary function, and may be more limited than services to specific user groups.
