COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION LIBRARY
The Communication and Information Library can be found on the first floor of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI). The library is a cubic room, with a staircase hidden in a nook on the side, leading down to a few shelves of books and desktops. If you manage to get a seat, the area is well-lit because of the huge glass windows on the side of the wall. However, unless you’re visiting a friend at WKWSCI, there might not be much to offer there for the non-Communications students.
CHINESE LIBRARY
Located close to the Yunnan Garden is the aptly-named Chinese Library. Like the Communication and Information library, this library is small and has a niche collection. Most (if not all) of the books are in Chinese, being of use to those among us who take modules relating to Chinese and Translation. More study spaces are available here than at the Communication and Information library, but the relative obscurity and inaccessibility makes it just that bit less appealing.
All eight NTU libraries offer their users something unique. Some may stand out for their design, while others may be preferred for their conducive environment or accessibility. Here are some general tips to keep in mind for your library visits:
- Study spaces are always in hot demand, especially during finals season. Try checking the NTULibrary website to get information on the real-time seating capacity (though be prepared for some differences when you arrive in-person!).
- When in doubt, the friendly librarians are but a question away.
- Those seeking out printers for assignments will delight at the fact that all libraries have printing stations, although the printing system may differ between each library.
The next time you find yourself with nowhere to go between classes, consider taking a trip to one of the eight NTU libraries. Who knows, you might just discover your new favourite study spot.
