In order to relieve the congestion of the collections in the EAL
mezzanine stacks, a project to shift the Chinese and Japanese LC
collections within the mezzanine will begin on July 9, 2009 and is
expected to last for one month. During this time, all access to the
collections and circulation will be as normal, but patrons may be
inconvenienced if the particular materials they are searching for are
being moved at that time. In case of problems accessing materials,
please contact EAL staff for assistance.

The National Assembly Library (국회도서관) and the National Library of Korea (국립중앙도서관) provide many full-text e-resources in their online catalogs. Due to copyright issues, however, these full-text resources are available at three different levels.
- available to users worldwide who have access to their online catalogs
- available only to users who are either at the workstations in the two national libraries or at several designated workstations in libraries that signed cooperative agreements with the two Korean national libraries. Stanford University Libraries signed agreements with the two national libraries of Korea.
- available only to users who are using workstations in the two national libraries
The National Assembly Library’s online catalog: http://u-lib.nanet.go.kr:8080/dl/SearchIndex.php
The National Library of Korea’s online catalog: http://www.nl.go.kr/
The National Library of Korea Digital Library (only for full-text resources): http://www.dlibrary.go.kr/WONMUN/
In order to see full-texts, some viewer programs that are provided by the libraries need to be installed on your workstation. The National Assembly Library also requires free registration with the Library.
If you would like to view/print the e-resources available by the agreement signed with these institutions, you need to come to the East Asia Library on the 4th floor of Meyer Library. We currently have one designated workstation. Icons for the two digital libraries have been created; and all necessary viewers have been installed on the workstation. Please do not install any other programs on the workstation. When you click to open a full-text, you may see a pop-up note that indicates that there will be a copyright fee charged. Stanford University Libraries will pay for the copyright fees for opening and printing the resources. However, you need to pay the fees that you normally pay when you print documents from the Library workstations.
If you encounter any problems when using these services, please report to the service desk or contact the Korean Studies Librarian, Kyungmi Chun (kyungmic@stanford.edu 724-5934).

The East Asia Library is holding the Special Exhibition of Hangul (Korean Alphabet) Calligraphy. The exhibition features Hangul calligraphy works donated by eleven established Korean female calligraphers.
East Asia Library
Meyer Library, 4th Floor
October 9 - 31, 2008
Monday - Thursday: 8am - 9pm
Friday: 8am - 5 pm
Saturday: closed
Sunday: 1- 5 pm
Hangul is the native alphabet of the Korean language. Promulgated in 1446 by Sejong the Great (1397-1450), fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty, it was originally known as Hunmin jeongeum (“Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People”). The original Hunmin jeongeum manuscript has been registered with the UNESCO program, “Memory of the World,” since October 1997.
After the creation of Hunmin jeongeum, the shape of Hangul gradually further developed in its use for woodblock-printed books and for practical everyday manuscripts. Today’s Hangul calligraphy as a formative art began around 1910.
We hope you enjoy Hangul as an art form through this exhibition.
