History: The library, once named the library of the Center for American Studies, was found and served on March, 1973. It changed the name to the library of the Institute of American Culture, the library of the Institute of European and American Studies on July 1974 and August 1991 respectively to reflect the Institution`s expanded research aganda.
The library now houses a large collection of books, journals, microforms, CD-ROMs, covering the areas of European and American literature, history, philosophy, education, politics, law, foreign relationship, public policy sociology and economics.
The classification of collection is divided into two systems. One is Dewey Decimal Classification for foreign language materials, another classification for oriental materials is Lai`s New Classification Scheme for Chinese Libraries.
