Good morning all: OK--I am getting truly frustrated with this so bear with me. Someone donated to our school a whole bunch of novels and non-fiction books that are in Korean. Since our school has many Korean students and parents who use the library for their recreational reading, I was happy to get them. Unfortunately, getting them cataloged is driving me crazy. One of our Korean teaching assistants last year translated all of the titles, but many of them just were done literally and are hard for me to figure out. For an example, I have a Tolstoy short story in front of me with the title translated "God that a Shoe Repairman Meet". When I try to talk with any of our Korean's here, they really can't think of another way of saying it. This all leads to me wondering if there is some kind of website out there that is similar to the Library of Congress and the British Library where I can just type in ISBN and have the records in front of me. Even if the records were in Korean, that would be a start for me to plant a mother in front of the computer and have her download the records and then I can do the piecemeal "english translation" on the side. Since I really doubt anyone that does not read Korean will be interested in reading these, the catalog records would probably be fine in that language. Does anyone know of such a website? I have had our Korean teacher do a search and she couldn't find it, but then she may not be aware of what to look for and of course I can't read it when it is on the screen. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me!
