Few U.S. University Reference Books Use Korean Name for Dokdo

Some 93 percent of reference books in the libraries of major U.S. universities do not use the Korean name for the Dokdo islets, a group of young patriotic activists said Thursday.

"Some 80 to 85 percent of all foreign reference books at the libraries of 20 major universities in Korea, including Seoul National, Yonsei and Korea universities, use the Japanese name to refer to Dokdo," said Koh Chang-keun at Dokdo Network. "We need to ask libraries in Korea and abroad, as well as the publishers to change the name to Dokdo."
