The American Center continues to provide free and open access to books, periodicals, DVDs, government documents, and electronic information relating to the U.S. and U.S.-Korea relations in addition to continuing its primary function of providing a wide range of up-to-date information and responding to quick and in-depth reference inquires from Koreans about the U.S.
