Library
The Shinawatra University Library uses the Library of Congress Classification System. In December 2002 the library became the first in Thailand to implement RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, called LIS Intelligence, to automate book-handing processes, including systems for self-circulation, detection and inventory management.
The undergraduate library at the Pathumthani Campus houses over 10,000 books and magazines from around the world. In addition to hard copies of the 24 top business, management and technology journals, access is provided to online databases covering current and back issues of over 1,500 journals.

Famous quotes containing the word library:
“Madam, a circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge; it blossoms through the year. And depend on it ... that they who are so fond of handling the leaves, will long for the fruit at last.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
“... the subjective viewpoint is the only one to use regarding a library. Your true library is a collection of the books you want. You may have deplorably poor taste or bad judgment. Never mind. Correct those traits before you exchange your books.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
