The Social Sciences Library is located in the College of Social Sciences (Building no. 16) in Gwanak campus. It was first established as the Lee In-pyo Information Center for Social Sciences with a financial donation from Lee In-pyo, the former honorary president of Esquire (1922-2002).

Since 1995, the library has strived to effectively manage social sciences references and resources and to promptly and accurately provide the best information services by taking the demands of its users and the academic disciplines into account. The library has made major contributions to the development of an effective information system for education and research in the College of Social Sciences. It has supported research of the faculty and education of students, and successfully managed to be the information center for social sciences.
