Subcommittee on Korean Studies E-Resources

Dear All,

I am pleased to announce that the Committee on Korean Materials (CKM) has appointed a Subcommittee on Korean Studies E-Resources.  

As many of you are well aware, Task Force on Korean E-Resources has played a great role in negotiating a group price deal for fast growing Korean E-Resources on behalf of participating institutions in North America. The CKM feels strongly that a subcommittee should be formally established with clear guidelines and charges to continue to carry out the TF’s tasks. Here’re details on the Subcommittee;

1.      Name: Subcommittee on Korean Studies E-Resources

Website: http://guides.library.duke.edu/korean_eresources

2.      Members:

Mikyung Kang (mlkang@fas.harvard.edu), Harvard University

Miree Ku (miree.ku@duke.edu), Duke University - Chair

Sun-Yoon Lee (sunyoonl@usc.edu), USC

Hee-Sook Shin (hs2148@columbia.edu), Columbia University

3.      Term of service: February 2012 – March 2014 (2 years)

I’d like to express my gratitude to the Subcommittee members who are willing to volunteer their time and efforts. Please contact the Subcommittee members if you have any questions on Korean E-Resources. Thank you.

Regards,

Yunah

Buffet will be served at the restaurant, with a variety of food selection, including many vegetarian choices. The cost of the dinner is $33 per person (either Canadian or US dollar). There are bigger and small tables in the area we reserved for the event to give us certain flexibilities.
