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:
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“riding flatcars to Fresno,
Across the whole country
Steep towns, flat towns, even New York,
And oceans and Europe & libraries & galleries
And the factories they make rubbers in”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
