Marmara University's Prof. Dr. Orhan Oğuz Library was established in 1997 under the name Central Library on the Göztepe Campus. The library's mission is to contribute professionally to all scientific endeavors and serve academics, students, and researchers. Covering an area of 3604 square meters, the library underwent a renovation in 2017 to align with contemporary standards, reflecting a sophisticated appearance befitting Marmara University. The library can accommodate 710 users simultaneously in its study areas. Additionally, it includes a relaxation area for 147 people and a Conference Hall for 47, totaling a capacity of 904 individuals. Users can benefit from "Individual, Group, and Academic Study Rooms" by making reservations online, ensuring a variety of usage options. The library provides access to various technological amenities, including catalog scanning kiosks, smart devices for self-checkout, book scanning devices, and a book washing machine for disinfection purposes. With 2 24/7 lounges, the library operates continuously, including weekends and public holidays. Resources are organized and accessible to users through the YORDAM automation system, utilizing the LC classification system and open shelf arrangement. Affiliated with our department, 8 unit libraries serve our university's other campuses. Expert librarians at all libraries offer technical services, as well as lending-return/ILL services, consultation, reference, accessibility, and user training.

  Additionally, Marmara University Press operates under our department. The legal basis for Marmara University Libraries continues to adhere to the Marmara University Library Regulation published in the Official Gazette No. 20701 on November 20, 1990.
