The library at the Nanjing Institute of Visual Arts houses a collection of over four million books, of which over 20,000 are photography-related publications, as well as 202 periodicals. Apart from offering staff and students the use of our lending library, we also have open reading rooms and multimedia rooms for students to use for study and revision purposes. Once students have obtained a library pass, they can avail of all the library services.

The Institute's own magazine, Visual Arts, concentrates on developments in contemporary art and trends in visual culture and media.
