The library's inspiring study spaces and innovative services help users achieve their academic goals. It has a distinguished and rich collection of works in Turkish, English, and Arabic, including various types of books, primary sources, and reference materials.

The library provides users with resources unavailable in its collections by acquiring them through purchase, subscription, donation, or borrowing from other libraries, offering them to users as quickly and as easily as possible. Through agreements with all university and research libraries in Turkey, the library not only benefits from their collections but also makes its collections accessible to researchers in need.

The library offers various services, including reference, access to information, borrowing, internet usage, audiovisual information resource usage, access to electronic databases, and user training, all provided by professional librarians. The library offers its resources accordingly to ensure researchers can access information resources 24/7.

Electronic resources can be accessed via computers within the library, through users' computers, or remotely (off-campus) via the remote access service.

The Library Catalog is designed to connect researchers with the print and electronic resources available at the university. It contains information on all library resources, such as books, journals, and rare works, and includes full texts when available.

The Discovery Tool is a system that allows users to search across subscribed electronic resources, including the library catalog, from a single interface. The library's discovery tool is a publicly accessible interface that enables users to access the entire library content online. All researchers can access the library's catalog and subscribed databases independently of time and place via the Discovery Tool.

Librarians combine library services with artificial intelligence capabilities to create a rich information environment, facilitate access to information, and ensure that students, academic staff, and researchers can make the most of the library's interactive services. Additionally, librarians possess significant expertise in finding the resources that researchers need.
