Xi¨¤m¨¦n
University Library ÏÃÃÅ´óѧͼÊé¹Ý I used to be so frustrated
with the library¡¯s short hours that I went half a decade without darkening
its doors, and started my own library at home. But now the XMU library
is open 7 days a week from 8 AM to 10 PM, and they have 3,750,000 books¡ªabout
3,745,000 more than I have at home. And I¡¯ll never catch up because they¡¯re
spending 1 million Yuan each year adding 50,000 volumes annually (if I
bought that many books my wife would kill me).
The library was founded in 1921 and moved to the present site in 1987.
The building was expanded to 22,000m2 in 2001 and 2002 and now has half
a million foreign language books, over 10,000 periodicals in Chinese and
over 12,000 in foreign languages.
The digital library system was started in 2000 and offers 24 hour inter-library
loans, database mirror-site services, over 100 major online databases,
digital archives and libraries, over 18,000 electronic periodicals in
Chinese and foreign languages, and searches.
