Besides winning some provincial and national-level awards, UMN Library is widely recognized for its excellence in services. We are the first library in Indonesia to offer free access to Netflix, and among a few libraries which serve the clientele during the Covid-19 outbreak by providing book delivery and dropship services. To widen students’ horizons, we’re also offering an Information Literacy course that is available on UMN’s e-learning platform. Final year students and lecturers can also consult our Reference Librarian for some advice regarding the most up-to-date journals and references to help their research.

With the flattening curve of Covid-19 in our country, the library is currently open for a visit, with a limited occupancy and a strict implementation of health protocol. Students can now enjoy the relaxing ambiance of the library, read printed books, borrow some collections, and take benefit of our strong internet connection that is available in the whole area of the library.
