Dear Colleagues,

I believe that this posting from the East Asian Librarians mailing list regarding the 
plans of the Library of Congress to implement a new set of rules for Korean Romanization 
and word division will be of immediate interest to people on the Korean Studies Discussion 
List.

Best wishes,

Frank Joseph Shulman
