A familiar face...

Thursday’s tour brought us to the Sookmyong Women’s University(http://lib.sookmyung.ac.kr) where we received a tour of their newly renovated library. The $10 million renovation resulted in an amazing library that would make the most unmotivated student (although I truly do not think there area any in this country) want to study. The newly renovated library has incorporated the latest technology and the most user friendly features into its design. The details that have gone into this library have made it a remarkable example of beautiful form and outstanding function. From the information kiosks at the front enterance, to the dedicated student study areas and endless computer access, this library uses technology to enhance the learning experience for all who venture inside.

Another unique feature of the library is its World Women Writers Gallery featuring works and profiles of prominent women writers both Korean and from abroad.

The highlight of the tour for me was seeing Dr. Yunkeum Kim Chang once again. Dr. Chang is an old friend who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a few years ago when she taught at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
