HISTORY
Syrdarya Pedagogical Institute was founded in 1966. It provides for the training of specialists in 5 areas. The necessary literature on these specialties was brought from the Nizami Pedagogical Institute, the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Land Reclamation, and the institute library was created. In the early years, the library had a bookstore and a reading room.
Since that day, the fund of educational and fiction literature of the university library is replenished day by day. The number of readers of the library is growing every year. Since 2002, the library has organized a computer class. In it, students prepare the necessary information. The computers are connected to the Internet. On the basis of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 20, 2006 No. PP-381 "On the organization of information and library support for the population of the Republic", an "Information Resource Center" was established at the University. On the basis of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the establishment of a centralized information and library service for the population" No. PQ-381 of June 20, 2006, an Information and Resource Center was established at the University.
