The Nanyang Technological University Libraries consist of 7 libraries located within the Nanyang Technological University campus in Jurong, Singapore. All of the Libraries are open to all staff and students of NTU, regardless of which faculty they belong to. Members of the public are also welcome to use library facilities and view print resources, but only members of NTU may check out materials or access electronic resources.
The 7 libraries consist of the main library, which is the Lee Wee Nam Library, and the Business Library, the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, the Chinese Library, the Asian Communication Resource Centre, the Art, Design & Media Library, and the Wang Gungwu Library. Each library has a specialised collection designed to cater to the needs of different segments of the faculty and students of the University. The libraries as a whole serve as learning centres for the entire NTU community, both to conduct personal research and engage in group discussions. The branch libraries were established with the aim of providing learning hubs for each school, as well as to house print and media collections which are of particular use and interest to the faculty and students there.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or libraries:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
