Introduction
Established in April 1910 along with the founding of the Public Eouidong Industry Supplementary School, the Seoul National University of Science and Technology Library holds more than 609,000 books, 12,000 e-books, 440 local/foreign serial publications/academic journals, 23,260 audiovisual materials, and 58 local/foreign e-journals.

Completed in late 2004, the Central Library is a three-story building with a gross floor area of 9,281 m2 (2,807 pyeong). The library office and information processing center is located on the first floor, the Oriental literature library is on the second floor, and a multimedia room is on the third floor. As a building with a gross floor area of 4896.25 m² (1400 pyeong), the annex library was remodeled in 2011, and it now consists of a reference library, a Western literature library, a group study room, digital resources rooms, and reading rooms. For the past century, our library has contributed to academic teaching and R&D by collecting and organizing data required for academic research and learning by professors and students. We will continuously endeavor to develop as a library that is suitable for a knowledge-oriented society.
