They improve the intelligence and knowledge of human, increase the experiences, correct the errors, allow conscious people to emerge. The book, which is the only tool that creates the conscious person, is the unrelenting enemy of darkness and ignorance, symbolizing civilization and development. The most important representative of the development and modernity in the universities is the libraries. Ordu University offers easy access to universal information and an efficient working environment with the Emin Çetinceviz Central Library which has a modern, contemporary architecture and a wealth of resources. Our library, which cooperates with many databases in terms of scanning national and international literature, is an information center for both undergraduate and graduate students. I sincerely greet all of our external and internal partners and all those who have contributed to the library from the first day to now, and congratulate the 55th Library Week.”
