Dear Users, During the midterm week of the spring term of the 2025-2026 academic year, our Central Library will be open 24/7.
Utilisation of Information Sources
Members of Alanya University are natural members of the Library. In order to borrow information resources from the library, it is necessary to register to the library by submitting the University ID card and filling out the ‘Library Registration Form’. Users from outside the university can use the Library's information resources in the library and borrow them within the framework of the rules of interlibrary co-operation. In case of any dispute, the Library's records are valid.
