Taemin Kim Park, East Asian Cataloger for the Indiana University Libraries, is a SLIS advisor for cataloging, technical services, and academic librarianship. She is also a regular adjunct faculty member for SLIS cataloging courses. Recently, Park was notified that her paper, "Asian and Pacific Region Authorship Characteristics in Leading Library and Information Science Journals," will appear in Serials Review, v. 34, issue 4 (Dec. 2008). Park also presented a paper at the 14th ACPSS International Conference held in conjunction with the 90th Jubilee of the Cornell Charles W. Wason Collection on East Asia. The ACPSS (Association of Chinese Professors of Social Science in the United States) conference was held November 7-9, 2008 at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. Her paper was titled "Characteristics of CJK Digital Resources in the OCLC WolrdCat" (see abstract below). The conference theme was "East Asia Studies: Challenges of Complex Realities in an Era of Globalization and Digitization." Participants were mostly professors in the Social Sciences who teach and research about East Asia. Cornell University President, David Skorton and University Librarian Anne R. Kenney gave welcome remarks among others. While on campus, Park visited the Olin Library, Kroch Library (home of the Wason Collection) and the President's Library. Abstract: Characteristics of CJK Web Resources in WorldCat This research utilizes the OCLC WorldCat bibliographic database to study the cataloging trends and characteristics of CJK web resources. Data for CJK web resources was collected by searching WorldCat. The growth rate of CJK web resources represented in WorldCat is analyzed by year, material types, and by CJK languages. Subject matters and holding patterns of these resources were identified and compared among Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Major contributing agencies that acquired CJK digital resources were described. Using a sampling of 160 records, more detailed aspects of cataloging activities and trends are noted. The extent of cataloging activities of CJK digital resources in WorldCat, in terms of the level of cataloging, publication patterns, record-contributing libraries, distribution of classification numbers, the extent of assigned subject headings, and digital source contributors is discussed.
