LIBRARY SERVICES
The FAMU Library provides service primarily for AMU students and teachers.
The registration is free of charge. Anyone with a valid AMU ID card or ISIC for AMU may request registration at any AMU Library (FAMU Library as well as HAMU or DAMU Libraries).
The public can use the library as well. Our collections are available to the public solely in the library. Without AMU ID card, cooperating specialists may loan items from the library.
The loan period for books is 2-4 weeks. The library sends an e-mail to the borrower’s school address to let him or her know when the book is about to become due.
FAMU LIBRARY COLLECTION
The collection of the FAMU Library contains more than 61 000 items (books, video records, theses, magazines, e-books, etc.) from many areas:
- film theory, criticism and technology
- dramaturgy and scriptwriting
- photography
- fine art
- literary theory
- game design etc.
Most of the books and films are available in open access area. Readers can search and pick any book or video they need. Books are usually arranged by subject field. See the shelfmarks and books arrangement overview.
Part of the collection is stored in a depository (predominantly novels and old volumes of magazines).
Magazines and journals are available in the study room.
If you cannot find a book on the shelf, do not hesitate to ask the library workers at the circulation desk.
