About Library

Our library is the largest German library of professional literature among universities in Central Asia. Here you can find modern textbooks and study materials in four languages: German, Russian, Kazakh and English.

We update the library fund every year and expand our electronic resources, including subscription to periodicals. Our library is automated making it easier to find necessary literature.
