ABSTRACT

Based on the analysis of the appellation from a historical perspective and the diversity of the notation Dokdo island, this study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of cataloging records related to Dokdo in 54 national libraries of the each country. The results are as follows. To begin with, while most of the Dokdo-related records are concentrated in some specific national libraries such as the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, there are five libraries that do not have one. Second, the title keyword of Dokdo-related records was 76.1% for ‘Dokdo’, 17.6% for ‘Takeshima’, 0.4% for ‘Liancourt Rock’, and 5.9% for these terms shown together in the national libraries of each country. Third, the subject heading of Dokdo-related records was 54.9% for ‘Tok Island (Korea)’ or ‘Dokdo’, 11.2% for ‘Takeshima (Japan)’ or ‘Takeshima’, less than 1% for ‘Liancourt Rock’ and ‘Dokdo/Takeshima’ each, and 33% for general subject heading or blank.
