Abstract

This study discusses the needs and demands of researchers regarding Korean Studies resources in Australia. Research was conducted through surveys and interviews on Korean Studies researchers' research areas, ways of acquiring research resources, preferred resource format types and use of services provided by academic libraries in Australia. Accessibility was the main issue that the researchers were concerned with and the methods to facilitate easy access to Korean Studies resources at academic libraries were raised, such as the necessity for a subject librarian in Korean Studies. In addition, the study findings will help Korean Studies researchers as well as librarians at universities without Korean Studies collections to understand the current research trends in Korean Studies in Australia.

이 연구는 호주의 한국학 자료에 관한 연구자들의 요구에 대해 논의한다. 연구는 한국학 연구자의 연구 분야, 연구 자료 수집 방법, 선호하는 자료 유형 및 호주의 학술 도서관에서 제공하는 서비스 사용에 대한 설문 조사 및 인터뷰를 통해 수행되었다. 자료 접근성은 연구자들의 주요 관심사였으며, 대학도서관에서 한국학 자료에 쉽게 접근 할 수 있는 방법, 예를 들어 한국학 주제 전문 사서의 필요성이 제기되었다. 또한 이 연구는 한국학 연구자들과 한국학 장서가 없는 대학의 사서들이 호주 한국학의 최근 연구 동향을 이해하는 데 도움이 될 것이다.
