The Korean language collection consists of two parts: the humanities part is located in the East Asia Collection occupying the entire fourth floor of the Social Science and Humanities Library (SSHL) and the social sciences part is located in the International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) Library. As the humanities part focuses on modern and contemporary Korean history and literature, including Korean film studies, the social sciences part focuses on the contemporary Korean politics, international relations, reunification, business and industries.
Working with the Korean Studies faculty members, the Head of the IR/PS Library and East Asia Collection is the acting Korean material selector for the Korean Language Collection.
Collection Strength: North Korean films, resources in contemporary Korean politics, reunification, international relations, business and industries.
