Dibrary of the present

When in Seoul, one of our library staff members took the opportunity to visit the National Digital Library of Korea. The facilities are impressive!

Dibrary is the world’s first hybrid library combining digital and analogue ideas. Dibrary consists of “Dibrary Portal,” a virtual space, and a physical service space called “Dibrary Information Commons”. - About Dibrary

The Ideas Circus

A mobile unit that will improve the exchange of ideas … fed by the progressive acquisition of knowledge from all places visited … able to respond quickly to the places visited and have the maximum information output.

The Circus is a hybrid assembly that owes something to the idea of existing units such as travelling exhibitions, mobile theatres, teaching machines, mobile clinics, roadshows and lecture circuits, but is necessarily different from them all.

[…] the Circus must have flexible and relatively advanced audio-visual and environmental equipment.

The Circus is not a classroom on wheels. It gains its maximum effect by being an event wherever it goes.
