The library contains about one million books of different kinds and periodicals of more than 3,000 kinds dominated by those on posts, telecommunications & electronics. It has a relatively complete collection of world-famous books & periodicals on telecommunications, which can be rated as the first class in China. Besides the books & periodicals in printing types, it has collected a great number of electronic data bases of writings, covering the full texts from IEE Explore, EI Village, ITU, INSPEC, the data base of Chinese periodicals, the academic periodicals of China and the data base of summaries. Its collection has increased at a rate of 30,000 books and periodicals a year. The overall management & service by computers has been realized in BUPT Library.

The Modern Electronic Library Information Network System (MELINETS), developed by BUPT Library independently, has brought about the integrated management of library affairs such as acquisition, cataloging, circulation and public retrieval service. Additionally, it has also realized the on-line cataloging, inter-loaning books between libraries, remote retrieval service and the automatic office management of personnel & facilities. MELINETS has been authenticated by the experts concerned as a leader one at home & an advanced one abroad on the technological level.
