Welcome
Welcome to the research guide for Great World Texts: Kim Jiyong, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-joo!
Explore databases and resources relevant to research in Korean Studies. Use the tabs on the left to find specific types of resources to help you to generate your topic, search for and find materials to support your research, and cite your sources.
There is also an email reference service provided by the Korean Collections Consortium of North America (KCCNA) since 2009 called “Ask a Korean Studies Librarian.” This reference service is initiated by KCCNA to reach out to institutions with small and medium sized Korean collections in an attempt to assist their resource needs by making accessible the collections developed by KCCNA member libraries. If you need advanced help in Korean studies, please feel free to submit a question to askkorea@googlegroups.com.
A very special thank you and acknowledgement to Anlin Yang, East Asian Studies Librarian, UW-Madison Libraries for the original version of this libguide, and to Shuqi Ye, East Asian Studies Librarian, University of Minnesota Libraries, for the content on the Advanced Korean Studies guide.
