[KS] Grant program from the Korea Foundation: The Support for Korean Studies E-Resources 2011

[Sung, Yunah]

Dear Korean Studies Scholars,



On behalf of the Korea Foundation, the Task Force on Korean Studies E-Resources would like to announce The Support for Korean Studies e-Resources. We have been received a number of inquiries on Korean e-resources from many of you who don't have access to these resources at your own institution. We sincerely hope that institutions without any Korean studies librarian, in special, take full advantage of this Grant program. Please share the following information with librarians at your own institution.


 The object of the program is described as follows;

"In response to the growing significance of online resources for education and research purposes, the Korea Foundation provides program support to eligible universities to offset the user/subscription fees that are required to access online Korean Studies resources, for the benefit of Korea-related scholars and graduate students. This program thus serves to complement the existing materials distribution program."

The followings are the summary of the Support program:


*         Application deadline: February 10, 2011

*         Notification: by late February, 2011

*         Scope of Support: Up to 50% of the user/subscription fees and limited to $5,000

*         Applicable e-resources: online databases, e-journals, e-books, and other online resources offered by public institutions or private parties, such as e-Koreanstudies.com (KISS, KSI e-book, Korea A2Z, Kdatabase, KPjournal), DBpia, KRpia, e-article, Kyobo Scholar, New-Nonmun, Newspapers, RISS International, and other fee-based online databases on Korean Studies
