Vanda Miss JoaquimThank you
Update the figuresUpdate the figuresMultiTo supplement our collection we offer the DDS. Through this service the academics and students can request for articles in journals not found in our collection. We are the first academic library in Singapore to fully automate this process. A user can send his request electronically , upon receiving the request the Library will send it to the supplier which in turn will send an electronic copy if available to the Library and we will forward it to the desktop of the user. Usual turnaround time for the whole process varies from 1-3 working days. IVLE is a virtual workspace for NUS students where lecturers communicate with them the details of their modules or courses and students submit projects, papers, participate in forum discussions and chat.Subject guides are guides that have been painstakingly created by our resource librarians and they provide useful guides to the various types of resources under specific subject areas.
