Dear Colleague(s):
Warm greetings!
The Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians, Inc. is pleased to invite you to its 4-day
international library benchmarking program in Seoul, Republic of Korea, dubbed as “PAARL's Seoul-Searching
Korea Library Tour” to be held on 16-19 October 2014.
On its fifth year of benchmarking libraries within Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region, PAARL has
chosen the “Land of the Morning Calm”, this former “Hermit Kingdom”, as one of the better cities in the
world that has metamorphosed into a world leader when it comes to innovation and cutting-edge
technology. Seoul is quite literally one of the most connected cities in the world!
The overall objective of this benchmarking activity is for our participating libraries and librarians to remain
competitive and demonstrate evidence of good practice which will contribute to every Library’s goal to be:
• A quality library that is client-focused;
• A library that is continually improving its services;
• A library that adopts innovative, new ideas and technologies; and
• A library that is efficient and effective.
The tour specifically aims to (1) identify best practices in Korean libraries, in terms of technological, space-
planning, and infrastructure development; (2) learn new trends and concepts of library services; (3) observe
closely how Korean libraries address today’s issues and challenges in their desire to go digital; (4) foster
professional and cultural exchanges between Filipino and Korean librarians; and, (5) establish a linkage with
counterpart Korean libraries for future collaborative undertakings.
This event is highlighted with visits to well-selected academic and research libraries, information centers,
archives, and cultural heritage sites, like: (1) The National Digital Library of Korea (Dibrary) at the National
Library of Korea, (2) Yonsei University Library, (3) Seoul National University Library, (4) Gyujanggak Royal
Library of SNU, (5) Sungkyunkwan University Library, (6) Seoul Metropolitan Library, (7) The National
Museum of Korea, and (8) Geongbokgung Palace.
Please make reservations as early as possible. Only limited slots are available. The Travel Package and
Itinerary, together with the Registration Form, Korean Visa Application Form, and Joining Instructions, are
herewith attached for your reference.
Thank you and we look forward to your joining this much-awaited annual activity of PAARL.
Sincerely yours,
Chair, International Affairs Committee
