About
International Material Exchange of NAL
The National Assembly Library(NAL) of the Republic of Korea started international material exchange in the 1950s, soon after the establishment of the Library in 1952.
Through the international material exchange, the NAL collects materials of overall subjects and formats. In exchange, we send periodicals, monographs, and DVDs that could help understand Korea.
As of July 2020, the National Assembly Library is exchanging materials with 192 institutions of 49 countries all over the world. Our exchange partners include national libraries, parliamentary libraries, major university libraries and research institutes.
