Cataloging Practice
• Media librarian catalogs most Korean films if there is no Korean language specialist
• Collaborative work: Korean language specialist gives assistance to Media librarian
• Division of Labor: Original cataloging is done by the Korean subject specialist and copy cataloging by the media librarian
Holdings location• 22 libraries house Korean films at Media
Libraries or Departmental libraries (Cinema Collection), Not East Asian library
• Currently 6 libraries house Films in the East Asian library
• 3 libraries send (VHS only) or plan to send Korean films to library storage
