The University Library is a Knowledge Centre which has rich resources mainly in Social Sciences, Humanities and Sciences. It is a nine-storey tower building and has a carpet area of about one lakh sq. ft. It is situated in the midst of the academic complex of the University and is the hub of all the academic activities of the University. Established in 1969, it incorporates the library of the prestigious Indian School of International Studies which was later merged with Jawaharlal Nehru University. The JNU Library is a depository of all Govt. publications and publications of some important International Organisations like WHO, European Union, United Nations and its allied agencies etc. The Library has recently established a CyberLibrary at the Ground Floor with 200 Computers for the students and research scholars to access the available online resources.
To meet the special needs of the visually challenged students of the University, a separate Unit named Helen Keller Unit has been established in the newly renovated Reading Hall at the Ground Floor. Twenty computers and scanners have been installed with screen reading and speech software to facilitate visually challenged scholars in their studies in this special Unit. The Library has subscribed twenty two international online databases covering about 10,000 full text journals. Besides that, access to 4,500 full text scholarly electronic journals from 25 publishers across the globe is available, under the UGC-INFONET E-journals Consortium.
