If you are a student at the Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies, you have access to the Asia Library, via a port code that you receive from the Department or the library staff.

If you are an external visitor, please ring the doorbell during business hours and the library staff will open the doors for you.

Study Space and Computers

The Asia Library offers 26 individual study spaces, as well as a group room, which is non bookable. These spaces are primarily intended for students at the Department of

Asia, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies. There are also reading rooms which are available for everyone.

On the upper floor of the library there are eight computers, all of which are equipped with word processors which can handle different alphabets and character systems.

Accessibility

The Asia Library is located one floor up without elevator access. It can therefore be difficult to get to the library, if disabled or wheel-chair bound. The library staff are on hand to help with literature searching, retrieval and lending of books. Please contact us before your visit and we will help you.

The Collections

The books at the Asia Library are arranged according to language: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic and Indian literature, as well as Asian literature written in western languages. There is also a separate room with reference literature in these languages.
