[KS] Re: European Delegations to CEAL

[Joy Kim]

Hello, List members,
The Council on East Asian Libraries (a group of East Asian studies
librarians in North America) is wondering if there is an organization of
Korean studies librarians in Europe. If you know of such an organization or
individual librarians, I'd appreciate hearing about them!  Thank you.
