Introduction

Since its establishment in 1979, our library has been collecting and providing various academic information materials such as books, non-books, academic journals, and electronic materials necessary for academic research and learning from professors and students.
In addition, in order to respond actively to the diverse and specialised information demands of users in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, we have established a customised teaching and learning support service system to support academic research and learning activities of professors and students faithfully.
Currently, we are promoting remodelling to build service infrastructure based on smart innovation and technology and reconfigure it as a shared space for creativity, collaboration, and culture and relaxation.
