Korean National Digital Library - Dibrary

The National Digital Library (NDL) of Korea is functioning now. During my stay in Korea in last summer, the construction work of the digital library was in process, and it is my pleasure to announce now it is functioning. The digital library (dibrary) was opened in late May (25th) 2009.

The six principles of the basis for the NDL’s missions are as follows:

1. The Digital Library approachable from anywhere
2. The Digital Library with no barriers
3. The Digital Library encouraging participation
4. The Digital Library as the Global Knowledge Information Hub
5. The Digital Library providing Information Literacy Service
6. The Digital Library providing Information Reference Service
