Behind the Stacks: Biodiversity Uncovered

Did you know that NUS Libraries holds over 3 million books, journals and physical publications? Ever wondered where we store these resources?

Find out in Behind The Stacks, where our librarians will take you behind the scenes for a closer look at how we preserve and organise knowledge for use in research, how special collections are built, and how everyday items can become part of the historical record.

In this edition, we turn our attention to biodiversity, exploring how the natural world has been observed, recorded and studied through the materials in our collections.

You’ll enjoy exclusive access to areas where our rare materials are stored and see how these resources are digitised for wider discovery and use. Register now and discover new ways to engage with our library resources!
