posted on 2010-11-30, 12:37 authored by Kyung-Mook OHElectronic networking is becoming a familiar tool in higher education
and research. Because the cost of telecommunications is decreasing,
while the power of electronic networks and related computing resources
is increasing, the resources and systems of electronic networks can now
be used more easily. Access to the new global system of electronic
networking has a great potential for the development of information
services in South Korea. The principal aim of the research presented
here is to determine what campus-wide and nation-wide information
system will enable academic and research institutions in South Korea to
share their information resources in an effective and efficient way via
high-speed networks.
The situation in South Korea has been modelled using Checkland's soft
systems methodology. Data have been collected via both
questionnaires and interviews, using a stratified sample of six South
Korean universities as the main source. The factors at work have been
examined, and the implications for the university system and for
electronic networking in South Korea are considered.
