Printed Collection
Although the Library’s main focus is acquiring electronic resources, printed collection is still a big part of the collection. Currently, the Library holds more than 25,000 titles, mostly available at the TSDAS Digital Library in Kuala Lumpur. These materials are used by students throughout the region through the usual loan as well as Interlibrary Loan.
