Dong-A University Library-Kyobo Bookstore, 'Hope Book Today Dream' Book Out Event

New Book On-Site Viewing and Immediate Loan Service

The Dong-A University Academic Information Center (Director Lee Jeong-gwan) Library is hosting the ‘Hope Book Today Dream - Check Out’ event, where visitors can see new books on site and borrow them immediately.

Students participating in Dong-A University Library's 'Hope Book Today Dream' - 'Check Out' are instantly borrowing new books.

This event is being held in collaboration with Kyobo Bookstore at the Hallym Library 2nd floor ‘Book Gallery’ on Seunghak Campus from the 1st to the 5th of this month. The books available during the event include newly published titles from February to March of this year that are not yet in the library’s collection, as well as the latest bestsellers.

The Dong-A University Library organized the ‘Hope Book Today Dream - Check Out’ event to promote the hope book request service, foster a reading environment, and encourage reading of general knowledge books.

The ‘Hope Book Request Service’ allows users to request the purchase of materials not currently available in the library. Previously, after applying through the website, it took about two weeks to purchase, process, and make the book available for borrowing for domestic books.

During the event, visitors can select the book they want to read from the shelves in the Book Gallery and request it from the staff, who will immediately process the book, enabling borrowing within about 1 to 2 hours.

The Dong-A University Library will also select lucky borrowers daily during the event and present prizes.

On the first day of the event, student Kwon Ji-hwan (3rd year, Department of Medical Ethics in Science and Engineering), who borrowed a novel, said, “Buying books can be costly, and there are limitations to getting the latest materials in the library due to budget issues, so I participated because this is a great event. It’s nice to be able to see the book I like in person and borrow it right away.”

In addition to the hope book request service, the Dong-A University Library offers inter-campus borrowing (Seunghak Campus Hallym Library, Bumin Campus Bumin Library and Law Library Branch, Gudeok Campus Medical Library Branch), priority processing requests, and services such as document copying and interlibrary loan (requesting copies or loans of materials not held domestically or internationally).

They also run various programs including ‘Library Stamp Tour,’ ‘Lunch Talk,’ ‘Book Immersion Book Club,’ ‘Using Academic Information for Report Writing,’ ‘Online Academic DB Usage Training,’ and ‘Book Review Master Class.’
