[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Metropolitan Library announced on the 25th that it will partially support the round-trip shipping costs of the nationwide library materials shared use service, 'Chaekbada Service,' to improve Seoul citizens' access to information.
Seoul Metropolitan Library supported 5,308 cases (18,579,000 KRW) last year and plans to expand support to 6,756 cases (23,646,000 KRW) this year.
The Chaekbada Service is a national interlibrary loan service operated by the National Library of Korea.

Through the Chaekbada Service, Seoul citizens can use materials held by other public libraries, university libraries, and specialized libraries nationwide at their affiliated libraries.
