As a new established organization, USIM’s library is actively carrying out efforts to strengthen its collection. Acquisition of information materials is mainly done through purchasing and subscribing activities. However, the library also welcome contribution of reference sources from individuals and organizations. All contributed materials will be managed by Technical Division of the USIM library.

Materials that can be contributed may comprise of monographs (academic and general books, proceedings), serials and multimedia materials. All the materials will undergo a screening process before being  considered as the library collection.

Materials contributed from public figures and scholars will be considered as Individual Collection (Koleksi  Perseorangan). The collection consists of their works and references which cover various topics and subjects related to their field of expertise. Basic consideration of this collection is as follow:

• 70% of the contributed materials are not in the library collection
• 70% of the contributed materials are in good condition
• 50% of the contributed materials are contributor’s subject interest
• Total of the contributed materials is more than 300
