Graham Financial Support Foreign Countries Information Technology Library Administration Library Automation Library Development Library Networks Library Planning Research Libraries Science Laboratories Scientific and Technical Information This technical report presents recommendations and plans which are the result of a mission undertaken as part of a project to promote a scientific and technological information service and establish a popular science resource center in Korea. The mission's main emphasis was to help Korean authorities and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to further their plans for the automation of the proposed Comprehensive Science Library (CSL) in the "science city" of Daeduk, which is a complex of research institutes mainly funded by the Republic of Korea. Background information and automation plans for the CSL are presented and the remaining issues and problems are identified. These issues encompass project management; identifying a suitable automation system; locating a system that can handle records written in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters; time factors; planning; funding; systems uniformity across the science complex; and employee training. Concluding the report are a summary of the recommendations, definitions of abbreviations used, and the mission's timetable. (MAB)
