The XAUAT library was founded in 1956 during the mergence of the former institutes. It centers on the aim of “oriented teaching and research, providing high quality services,” , following the principles of discipline construction to establish a working policy and collective construction tasks. The library now has a multidiscipline collection system which combines humanities, social sciences, management and art, predominantly featuring civil engineering, architecture, environmental engineering, and the materials and metallurgical industry.

The total collections of the library amount to 2,72,8000 volumes until 2013, including collection books 2,59,0000 volumes. At the same time, digital resources have become an important part of the library, which owns large number of Chinese and foreign electronic periodicals, papers, professional databases covering various areas, and a self-built full text database with its own characteristics. Our library also bought 23 Chinese and foreign databases in 2013. Meanwhile, the library also holds a number of special documents and video-audio materials.
