2.Historical Development
Şırnak University was established on May 22, 2008 with Law No. 5765. The Central Library began providing service in 2009 on the 4th floor of the building currently used by the Faculty of Engineering and Şırnak Vocational School. In 2012, our branch library affiliated with the center began providing service on the 4th floor of the newly constructed Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences building adjacent to the Faculty of Theology building. In February 2016, it moved to our new building with 8000 square meters of indoor space on the Mehmet Emin Acar Campus and continues to provide service. Our library aims to provide the necessary materials and services to the students, faculty, college and vocational school students, academicians and administrative staff operating within the University for education-training, research activities and to evaluate their free time. It aims to cope with the speed of increase in information that reaches incredible dimensions every passing day and to support the education offered by our University in this direction.
