GIST and 3 Other Major Science and Technology Institutes Operate Integrated Research Portal 'Star Library'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] It has become possible to perform integrated searches of research performance information from the four major science and technology institutes, including the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST).

According to GIST on the 6th, the four major science and technology institutes jointly operate the library portal site ‘STAR Library’ (Science & Technology Advanced Research Library) to collect and analyze science and technology information resources and support researchers' collaboration and convergence research.

Through this portal site, the science and technology institutes have made available to the public since the second half of last year about 100,000 papers, 15,000 patents, and 60,000 various academic activities, totaling approximately 200,000 research performance records. Starting this fall, integrated search and utilization of information on 1,170 researchers (full-time faculty) and 752 research labs from the four major science and technology institutes have been enabled.

On the STAR Library, users can also access the latest research trends such as domestic and international research projects, and perform integrated searches of materials held by the four major science and technology institutes.

The verified integrated research information is expected to be of great help to students wishing to enter graduate school, domestic and international researchers seeking collaborative research, companies and local communities needing expert information by field from the science and technology institutes.

Kim Min-gon, Director of Academic Information at GIST, said, “Through the ‘STAR Library,’ an integrated portal system that shares core information and experiences such as academic and excellent research achievements of science and technology specialized universities, we have not only laid the foundation for comprehensive information sharing but also expect synergy effects from mutual cooperation.”
