SUPPORT AND INFORMATION EXPERIENCE TRAINING

You can request our support via email, through our fanpage, or by visiting us directly at the library.
We are always available to provide valuable materials for your individual assignments, group projects, presentations, and essays.
Read our instructional materials or watch our instructional videos on how to effectively utilize information resources, search academic databases, cite references properly, and access other useful guides.
Contact us if you wish to participate in library orientation sessions, information literacy programs, or other activities organized by us.
Dr. Sarah Brewer from the Institute of International Studies and Languages said that she always encouraged her students to reach out to the library staff when they faced challenges in finding information for their essays, as evaluating, classifying, and guiding information searches were things she could not easily assist them with herself.
RICH INFORMATION RESOURCES
Hundreds of Millions of Electronic Academic and Research Resources
The library’s printed collections are available for users through on-site reading services and home borrowing options.
The library also provides access to hundreds of millions of electronic information resources for global and regional academic and research purposes. These include research articles from scientific journals, e-books, and numerous other scholarly materials compiled from publishers and open-access digital repositories of universities around the world.
The library enables users to access and utilize both internal and external resources through its integrated knowledge and catalog discovery platform - the Primo Discovery System - which unifies all information channels to meet the research, teaching, and learning needs of its academic community.
