| 9:10am | Keynote: “Toward a Model of Intercultural Warrant: A Case of Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Dewey Decimal Classification” This talk reports on dissertation research from a mixed method study that investigated how a globalized knowledge organization (KO) system can be adapted into a culturally different regional environment and what are the impacts of sociocultural factors on the adaptation of the system. As a case that examined the localization of a global classification system, the study investigated the Korean Decimal Classification (KDC), which has served as the Korean national library classification. | Inkyung Choi, Doctoral Candidate |
