[KS] Handbook for Korean Studies Librarianship: Online version available at the CKM website

[Frank Hoffmann]

One of the things that always confuse simple minds if it comes to such 
library related publications is that librarians do have their own, very 
particular style guide/s on very particular areas (such as 
romanization) while at the same time really doing some free-style 
fighting and dancing when it comes to listing bibliographic entries in 
their own articles (in footnotes or in the bibliography). This is a 
great example of that. Nicely confusing!
