The ITU Library provides research material and bibliographic and reference services related to the subject of telecommunications to the representatives of the Union members, conference delegates, researchers and staff. The Library discharges its functions by identifying, collecting, publicizing and making available all types of books, publications, reports, documents, and reference materials, either on paper or in an electronic format, concerning telecommunication issues and related topics.

The librarians handle requests for reference information and loans, and they assist users to identify, locate and gather bibliographic materials. Training in using the library catalogue, digital resources and reference tools can be organized. 

Librarians can be contacted by email (library-archives@itu.int) or on the 6th floor of the Montbrillant building during business hours (phone 022/730-69-00)

Library items can be lent to ITU Staff. The normal lending period for books is 10 weeks. Readers will receive automatic reminders when their books are due.

The Reading Room is located on the sixth floor of the Montbrillant building. Visitors to ITU must register at the reception desk at the Montbrillant building or the Tower and provide a valid ID with photo. For more information on locating our buildings, see this map.

The Library is open on weekdays from 9:00 till 17:00 hours. During holidays (Christmas and Summer) access may be restricted.
