Presentation on the University Library System in South Korea

Since my return from South Korea after a successful six month training program, my first professional activity was to present a paper on my experiences.

Accordingly, I made a presentation on the "University Library System in South Korea” at the Achievers Colloquium organized by the University Librarians Association of Sri Lanka on 5th December 2008 at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute (SLFI), Colombo.

There I discussed about various aspects of the university library system in Korea including Library Organization, Bibliographic Control, Library Cooperation, Using modern ICT, Library Space Planning.

The audience was the university librarians and they were really interested about the present status of the university library system in Korea. They identified the university library system in Korea as a well planned and a well developed library system and there were so many examples and practices to be noted and applied for the university library system in Sri Lanka.

Also, I plan to make several more presentation in near future including the “National Library of Korea and It’s Services”.
