Hello, Korean Studies folks!
I am Saeyong Kim, your librarian, and while the Library is physically closed I will be supporting you online. I am thankful to be working and living on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. This guide is to aid your research, teaching, and learning activities in our new online-only environment. Everything here is a digital resource, except me, and you. Take care of yourself, email me any questions you have or to set up a consultation appointment, and make use of the resources. Remember to check the Library Service Updates for the best way to request materials that you need. Again: if you need a resource, for a course, to teach, for your research, for general learning, and you can't find it, check the Library Service Updates and contact me. I will do my best to secure access for you.
Stay safe,
Saeyong (saeyong.kim@ubc.ca)
