Can we contribute to the new Library?

Yes, we may! although UD's new library is not like this

not like this either

It is rather like this!

only 20% of the Library collection is available on shelves , at present In

In

that percentage will decrease in the future and, on top of it, workplaces are separated f rom book- shelves

so, is it a kind of bookless library?

NOOO!!! there are over 200,000 titles on shelves, another 800,000 stored and available on demand and workplaces have good wifi connection!!!

so, is it perhaps a Library (mainly) for online access??!!

...perhaps, but all University libraries will be like that in the future, because...
