Libraries & Collections

Currently there are seven NTU libraries on campus providing space, resources and services to support learning and research.  Some of these libraries open extended hours before and during examination periods.   All libraries are wireless enabled and there are more than 700 work stations available for use. We provide user friendly network printing facilities.  Library staff are always on hand to assist users.    We hope to improve the quality of facilities and equipment in the coming years.

The strength of our Libraries is in the wide range and depth of electronic  resources  available, the high number of workstations, our responsive and friendly library staff and the in demand instructional classes and outreach  activities we regularly organize.  Users can look forward to many exciting developments in the Library over the next few years as it improves services, resources and the Library environment to better meet the needs of all NTU staff and students.

Our libraries include:

ADM Library is located within the School of Art, Design & Media and is specifically designed to reflect the creative and artistic nature of its environment.  It houses a growing collection of resources in the visual arts, architecture, drawing, design, illustration, painting and photography and a strong collection of AV materials.  Interesting areas in the Library include a mini cinema, individual A/V viewing carrels, a flexible seating space and a large, writable black glass wall.
