Profile
I am a professor of Library and Information Science as well as the Director of Ewha University Central Library in Seoul, Korea. My research focuses on information/library theory and policy, user interaction, research methods, and economics of information. Within this area, I concentrate on development of optimum library service model and/or method for public knowledge and information infrastructure.
I am currently the President of the Korean Society for Library and Information Science, and the Chair of International Relations Committee of the Korean Library Association. I have also served as Chair of Coordinating Department of the National Organizing Committee of the World Library and Information Congress: 72nd IFLA General Conference and Council in 2006, Seoul. I regularly work closely with the National Library of Korea, the National Assembly Library of Korea, and other various libraries in Korea.
Recent publications include Libraries in Korea: Past, Present and Future (2006), Library Management (2005), Introduction to Library and Information Science (2004), and Theories in Information Science (2003) which are used widely in Korea.
Candidate's Statement
As I completely understand the important responsibilities of the Board member's missions, I am confident that I can devote myself to the good governance for the IFLA. I would especially like to focus on "Cooperating World Library Partnership, Pursuing Global Information Specialist, and Bridging Multi-cultural Library Service" to achieve IFLA's purpose and its intended outcomes for the members, the profession and the society. I also want to emphasize on putting IFLA organizational values of good governance into practice. Not only that, but I wish to make informed, transparent decisions for the world-wide interests of library and information services.
