Library

Yonsei University Library was founded in 1915 with the founding of Yonhee College, and was first housed in the YMCA building on Chong-no Street. On October 1924, the Library moved to the third floor of the Yonhee Student Union Building, to the Gwangbok Building in June 1956, and then to the Yongjae Building in May 1957. On September 30, 1979, the New Library Building (now Yonsei Central Library) was completed and was the main library of Yonsei University until 2008.
In 2008, Yonsei University Library was the first in Korea to embark on the Subject Librarian Services, and is now equipped with a high-tech IT environment, as well as a strengthened digital content management system. With the opening of the Yonsei-Samsung Library in 2008, the Library changed its name from the Central Library to the Yonsei University Library, in order to denote the combination of the Central and Yonsei-Samsung Libraries.
