EP.2 QnA The questions keep coming, Ah Oh Ay 

Q1. Can I use the library without a reservation?

Reservations are required to use a library seat. You can book a seat for up to 4 hours per person, and a group study room for up to 3 hours twice a day on the IGC Library website or by using the IGC Library Seat app. You must check in within 30 minutes of the booking time.


Q2. Are electronic resources available in addition to physical books? 

You can access about 9,000 e-books for free by searching “Incheon Global Campus” in the Kyobo Bookstore e-Library app and logging in to the IGC library Information. You can also access 302 audiobooks on the library's website. In addition, you are able to access copies of original texts of FRIC (Foreign Research Information Center) collections and original texts held by the National Assembly Library


Q3. I can't find what I want in the library.

In this case, you can request a purchase for the desired books on the library website. The library selects and purchases resources necessary for university-level education, research, learning, and cultivated literacy. Once the order is placed, it takes about 15 days for domestic books and about 1 month for foreign books to arrive. When your requested book arrives, you will receive an Arrival Notice via email or KakaoTalk.


Q4. Is the library open to external visitors?

For the safety and security of materials and users, only authorized campus members have access to the IGC Library. However, a library tour service is available for groups of at least 10 people. Tours should be booked at least 7 days in advance and are not available on weekends and holidays. In order to maintain an academic atmosphere, tours are limited to high school students and older. Tours are subject to change based on the academic calendar and the library’s internal circumstances so please note that tours may not be available on your desired date. Tours are available from 10:00 AM to 17:00 PM. (No tours during lunchtime 12:00-13:00 PM) Contact 032-626-0612
