Introduction
University library was launched in 2005. This library is the only known social entity that provides book-reading facilities and promotes book-reading in university. University library is not a goal per se, but it is a tool for serving the society. University library is part of the educational, research and studying systems of university, as the main reference for addressing the information needs of the academic society. The library archives most recent information references in different subjects and categories. Gathering, classification and provision of required scientific references and textbooks are among library duties.
Computers are increasingly transforming modern libraries. Knowing that, libraries are developing a clear vision of turning into knowledge-production centers in the near future.
University library has a beautiful and large area, and offers services to students in different segments such as book-lending, men’s and women’s reading halls, etc. The integration of library and Uni-KAR unit is a crucial benefit. The cooperation of those two together leads to promoting book-reading culture among students and even professors. There are almost 13,000 books in the library, and this number is increasingly updating. Thanks to digital registration and up-to-date equipment in the library, students and professors can use the books and magazines easily in the library. By changing the library archive from a closed archive into an open one, the library tries to create trust between students and authorities. This makes the library a highly dynamic environment.
