1. Increase the range and depth of engineering and science books;
2. Provide access to a wider selection of e-books and other electronic resources, particularly in non-mainstream disciplines;
3. Develop programmes and resources to increase usage of science and engineering literature.

Resources acquired through this Endowment Fund will augment our current collection and continue to benefit future generations of NTU students, researchers and faculty.

This fund was donated by the Wan Boo Sow family in 2010 to enhance the Chinese book collection in NTU Library in the following areas:

1. Chinese books with subject matters relating to Singapore and Southeast Asia;
2. Secondary works on literature, humanities, social sciences and other disciplines that inform the study of Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Books acquired through this fund will benefit all users involved in studying, teaching and research activities relating to Singapore and Southeast Asia.

This fund was created from generous donations from individuals, organisations, NTU faculty, administrative staff, alumni and students. It is used to develop information resources, services and facilities at NTU Library.
