Physics Library

Introduction

      The Physics Research Library was set up in 1946 and merged with the Library of Meteorology in 1961. It was relocated to the present location—Room 310 of the Condensed Matter Science and Physics Building in 2001. There are two floors with approximately 700 square meters each in the library. The first floor features the reading room, common periodicals area and the management office, whereas, the second floor houses book collection and a rare-used periodicals stock room. The library has reached a collection of roughly sixty thousand books and more than four hundred kinds of journal. The readership includes students and faculties on campus and from other research institutes in Taiwan. 

   The Physics Library has been one of the most important physics libraries in Taiwan. Our library is in charge of the NSTC project that aims to offer service and strengthen academic support to physics research and teaching in the country. The Physics Department has a Library Committee to supervise the expansion of the library collection and to promote activities launched by the library.

   The library belongs to the NTU Library Information System. Readers can search for information on our collection, check for personal loan records, and make book reservations online.
