NTNU University Library is a public scientific library, established in 1996 with the establishment of NTNU. The library, however, has roots back to the library of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters from 1768 and is thus the oldest scientific library in Norway.

With 14 branch libraries in Trondheim, Ålesund and Gjøvik the main mission of the library is to support research and teaching at the university. Our primary users are students and employees at NTNU, but all citizens can borrow from the library collections.
