Office of Library and Cultural Services
Office of Library and Cultural Services consists of University Library, University Museum, University Press, Design Center and Digital Experience Center.
University Library has provided the utmost information and infra service to strengthen teaching methods, learning, and research since it had been established in 1915 with the opening of Yonhi College. Central Library of Sinchon Campus and Yonsei-Samsung Library that has opened in 2008 as well as Underwood Memorial library in Songdo International Campus contains 2.3million books, around 80 thousand kinds of electronic journals, 645 thousand electronic books, and around 200 databases. These places have also been a pleasant place for Yonsei students to research and study.
University Museum was founded in 1928, which has the longest history among university museums. University Museum’s unearthing of Seokjangri Paleolithic relics in 1964 was the first occasion that proved Korea’s Paleolithic culture which opened a new chapter in the field of Korean Archaeology and History. The museum aims to collect, research and develop the cultural elements associated with this traditional culture of Korea, which is preserving the exhibitions to meet the educational and academic research in our universities. Since 2006, the museum was officially recognized 'organization to issue certification for career experiences.’ So students, volunteers, and trainees are given certificates available for diverse purposes, such as museum curators and museum work. University Museum, integrated the Yonsei Archives in 2010, has been dedicated to collect, preserve and manage Yonsei history as a department in charge of Yonsei administrative records with operating Yonsei history exhibition room.
University Press has been established in 1929 as Yonhi College Press with publishing the first version of Urimalbon, the compiled-collection of "Sorigal" by Choi Hyun-Bae on April, 1929 and published Joseon Umoon Yungoo (The Study of the Written and Spoken Language of Joseon) the next year (1930). University Press has published more than 1.7 thousand titles, and distributed 900 titles and have been awarded for the excellent executive agencies two years in a row (2015, 2016) in recognition of its excellent business performance and distinctive improvement in the operations management. To improve University Press’ readiness for the market change ‘from off-line to online’, the Press works through these steps; forming IT partnerships with portal sites via dictionary DBs, the enlargement of YUP’s overseas business cooperation, and discovering a new content replacing the demand for paper books in the long term.
Design Center is in charge of UI (Yonsei University Identity) and general design management.
Y-DEC(Digital Experience Center), established in 2018, provides digital literacy education for Yonsei students and manages Adobe software system.
