Library Collections

The NDU Libraries provide access to a rapidly expanding collection of reference and circulating materials in print, manuscript, electronic, audio, visual, cartographic (maps), and other appropriate formats. In addition to scholarly and research materials, the libraries' collections include popular and classic fiction in English, Arabic and French and a small but growing collection of books for children.
The Libraries welcome and encourage donations that support the University’s academic programs and the scholarly, teaching, and research interests of the NDU community. All donors will receive appropriate acknowledgement, including but not limited to a thank you letter, a printed acknowlegement on the donated item, and inclusion in a published donors list.
