The Library of Panteion University

Panteion University has a unique and central Library which is located in the main building of Syngrou Avenue. The entrance is on the ground floor of the building, but the library extends to three more floors with a total area of 2000 sq.m, with its own elevator and staircase. The purpose of Panteion University Library and Information Service is to cover, support and promote educational and research activities of the Panteion academic community. Library’s operation also supports instructional missions of undergraduate and postgraduate programs while at the same time it promotes academic objectives and contributes to the fulfillment of the social role of the University. In order to achieve its purposes, the Library has fully automated its services and functions and develops print, electronic and digital collections as well as internet applications and services. 

The Library also participates in national and European networks aiming at a more effective use of the information resources available. In October 1991 the Library began its reorganization and modernization. With the economic assistance of the Operational Programs for Education and Initial Vocational Training (part of the 1st and 2nd Community Support Frameworks) the Library has transformed into a modern institution. Library use has increased significantly and it is considered to be one of the most pleasant and popular facilities of the University.
