It offers individual and team study rooms, classrooms, self-service printing and copying services, an After Hours Study Room open when the library is closed, reference services, and—last but not least—330,000 freely-accessible volumes of scientific literature (and over 800,000 in storage); 1,200 print journals; and access to over 50,000 electronic resources and hundreds of eBooks.The library is also a social and cultural center, with frequent lectures, educational tours, events, and exhibitions.
