Academic Support Department

Abu Dhabi Polytechnic Learning Resources Center (LRC) serves as a dynamic hub for academic support, offering a wide range of resources, technologies, and services to students, staff, and faculty across both Abu Dhabi and Al Ain campuses. More than just a traditional library, the LRC provides access to over 290,000 eBooks, more than 26,000 eSerials, over 4,000 print resources, and a diverse selection of specialised databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, ASTM Compass, and the ASME Digital Collection. The LRC is committed to advancing research, teaching, and learning by facilitating access to high-quality digital and print resources, and by providing well-equipped facilities including three study rooms, an exam room, computer workstations, wireless internet, and dedicated innovation spaces such as the Innovation Majlis and Innovation Hub.

In addition to its collections, the LRC offers a wide array of services to foster academic success, such as information literacy workshops, course reserves, current awareness services, and interlibrary loans. A cloud-based library portal enables access to databases, forms, and the online catalogue both on and off campus. Students and staff can suggest new purchases, reserve rooms for assessments, and request assistance through Ask-A-Librarian services. Open during regular academic hours and aligned with the UAE holiday calendar, the LRC supports an inclusive, collaborative, and forward-thinking learning environment that reflects Abu Dhabi Polytechnic’s mission to prepare students for real-world challenges through innovation and knowledge-sharing.
