The National Digital Library of Korea is located on Banpo-ro in Seocho-gu, Seoul. It is also known as a "dibrary" (Hangul: 디브러리), a Konglish word combining "digital" and "library." It was opened in May 2009 after seven years of construction.[1] Facilities allow access to over 800 libraries and other institutions around the world,[2] including from the U.S. Library of Congress, and a total of more than 116 million pieces of content.[3] The TV studio and user-created content (UCC) studio contain camcorders and lighting facilities, allowing users to produce, edit and display their own UCC sounds and images.[1] Access is available to foreigners.
