Research Abstract |
This project has investigated the possibility and the current state of cross-disciplinary alliance among social information resources, such as museums, libraries and archives. During the term of this project, we have focused our attention on neighboring Asian countries, and conducted surveys on related institutes in Korea, China and Taiwan, as follows: (1) Korea Survey Term: August 17-21, 2005 Institutes Surveyed: National Library, National Archive, National Museum, Korea Education and Research Information Service, etc. (2) China Survey Term: September 3-12, 2006 Institutes Surveyed: Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, National Palace Museum, National Library Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Library etc. (3) Taiwan Survey Term: September 27-30, 2007 Institutes Surveyed: National Palace, Museum, etc. Alliance among institutes and people concerned is made possible only through the advanced use of information and communication technology. So we have also been interested in the advances in technology-related matters, such as standardization. In order to facilitate communication among group members, members met four times annually to discuss various matters, as well as to exchange ideas. These meetings often included guest speakers. We have organized an annual symposium to disseminate the findings through these surveys, and to report on other activities of our study group. Each symposium attracted 60 to 80 people with a wide variety of backgrounds, which indicate the depth and breadth of our activities. Presentations in each symposium are published in the form of printed proceedings. It is planned that an electric edition of these proceedings be made available online.
