Library — facilities, collections and support

Core facilities to confirm

• Main campus library building: Confirm the location and integration with academic buildings and student life so you can explain campus logistics to applicants. For details about the university, see Özyeğin University.
• Study spaces: Verify availability of quiet study zones, individual desks, and collaborative group rooms for coursework, group projects and thesis work.
• Opening culture and hours: OzU emphasizes extended study support; confirm exact opening hours for weekdays, weekends, and exam periods to set realistic student expectations.

Collections and e‑resources

• Printed collection: Confirm the scale (tens of thousands of printed titles across faculties) and availability of international editions for major programs.
• E‑books and e‑journals: Ensure online holdings cover core subject areas — Business & Economics, Engineering & Technology, Architecture & Design, Social Sciences, Law and Psychology.
• Remote access: Ask about institutional login, VPN or proxy solutions and whether off‑campus access works from students’ home countries.

User support and training

• Librarian helpdesk & e‑mail support: Confirm availability, response SLAs and language support for international students.
• Research guides & subject pages: Identify subject‑specific libguides for majors — particularly Architecture & Design, Business and Engineering.
• Orientation & training videos: Ensure incoming students can access OzU’s library orientation videos during induction week.

Key databases and subject tools to check

Ask whether core subscriptions are active for the coming academic year and which are trial licenses. Prioritise confirmation of subject-specific resources for program marketing and curriculum mapping.

Suggested subscriptions to verify

Program‑level lab checklist (ask for each major)

• Does the program have teaching labs (e.g., electronics, materials, programming, networks, architecture studios, culinary labs)?
• Are there research labs or centers aligned with faculty projects?
• Are project studios or making spaces available for long‑form design and build work?
• Do computer labs provide required licensed software (CAD/BIM, simulation, analytics)?
• Are labs accessible outside class hours, and is there an online booking system?
• What technical support is provided (lab technicians, equipment maintenance)?
• Are safety orientations, PPE requirements and HSE policies clearly documented?

Expected capabilities given OzU’s profile

• Modern labs consistent with research‑active faculties in engineering, business analytics, architecture & design.
