FAQ

  1. I hold the Tongji Campus ID card, but why I cannot get access to the library?
    If you are the International Non-degree Program Students, please ask the International Students Office (Tel: 021-65986049, Mr Ye) to provide your personal information to library. Then the General Information Desk will give your campus ID card the permission to reading books.
    If you are the degree program students or faculty, it maybe is the case that your personal information data in the library system is not updated with the Campus ID Card Center, so you have to wait or telephone the library system department by 021-65982732.
  2. Why I cannot borrow books with my Campus ID Card?
    Your card needs to be activated before borrowing books. If you are the International Non-degree Program Students, you need the guarantee of the International Students Office.
  3. Where can I find English or German books?
    For science and technology books, you can go to the Foreign Books Open-stack Area of the third floor in the SiPing library. The social science books are collected at the sixth floor reading room.
