This pathfinder includes information, links, and online bibliographies
related to libraries and archives in South Korea.
The most important source for bibliographical information of
books concerning Korea is the Korean
Bibliography, a comprehensive
and user-friendly bibliographic tool for researchers and scholars
interested in Korean studies, prepared by the Korean Team of the Library of Congress. The Korean Team added a local
topical term index to these records to provide added value for
researchers who may not be familiar with the Library of Congress
subject headings.
The Korean
Serial Database is available through the Asian Division’s
homepage of the Library of Congress. The Database
provides researchers detailed information about the rich and
diverse newspaper and periodical collections located throughout
the Library of Congress. The data in this list may be searched
via subject, English titles, newspapers, and even Korean titles.
Another site that one of note is that prepared
by the Law Library of the Library of Congress for an annotated
guide to sources of information on government and law available
online on their Guide
to Law Online.
