Silpakorn
University Library was first established in 1964 as a section in
the General Affairs Division, Office of the President, Wang Tha
Phra Campus. When Sanam Chandra Palace campus was found in 1967,
another library was set up. In 1989, the two libraries were merged
together into the Central Library.
In
1992, a restructuring to the Central Library was initiated, allowing
the Central Library to comprise three sectors : 1) Office of the
Secretary, 2) Wang Tha Phra Campus Library, and 3) Sanam Chandra
Palace Campus Library. Each library is further divided into three
departments : 1) cataloguing and classification, 2) reader services,
and 3) audio-visuals. (The Library Director is in charge of managing
facilitating and centralizing both campus libraries.)
