Library (Arise)

There are around 1.1 million books, 29,000 pieces of audio-visual material and 7,200 scientific journals in total kept in the Arise Library and Port Island Library. In addition, a database that can be used in study and job searching has been prepared and electronic journals have been introduced, so that it is easily possible to search for and obtain any information necessary on materials. In addition to providing materials, the libraries also develop and implement events for students such as information search navigation, reading rallies and tours of student selected books, and actively open up the facilities to the people of the local areas. For example, they encourage the use of the libraries by persons from outside of the University through the issuance of non-university user registration and entry passes. They also hold book themed exhibitions and lecture meetings related to them.
