History
The first class of Chaoyang University of Technology started in August 1994, and in the same year, the library opened on October 11. It located on the third floor of the University's Teaching Building temporarily served as the library's quarters. It was divided into a periodical and reference room, stacks, and a reading room. Afterward, the collection of library increased so rapidly that it became necessary to add western book stacks and more separate rooms in November 1996 to satisfy the needs of users. After a year of planning, the construction of the new library building began on June 28, 1997, and was completed in March 1999.[1]
