The guarantee of uninterrupted activity of the university library is the continuous replenishment of literature. The main sources of replenishment are book exchange, trade transactions, donations, etc.

The main functions of the Supply and Processing Department are:

• Receiving and distributing literature published in YSU publishing house,
• Audit of endowment and book exchange funds,
• Organization of donations to individuals, YSU faculties, various circles,
• Evaluation and classification of newly received books,
• Cooperation with students in replacing lost books with new ones.

The computer room (303) and 5 reading rooms provide in-library service to YSU library readers, two of which were renovated with the financial support of the "Izmirlian" Foundation.

Library reading rooms are:

• Philological Sciences (501),
• Social Sciences (403),
• Exact Sciences (503)
• Natural Sciences (601),
• Press and journal service (603).

Most of the library's resources are stored in the Inventory, from where the readers' orders are served outside the library. In this department, the works of delivering the orders to the readers, arranging the returned literature on the bookshelves, as well as receiving and servicing the newly received textbooks are carried out.

Filtering works of outdated literature are regularly performed.

Existing literature is serviced from the manual fund without prior order.

In this department, out-of-library service of literature is performed from the ready-at-hand art funds and the literature stored in the library. Among the functions of the department is also the replenishment of required literature, creation of new circulating funds, restoration of worn-out book stamps, maintenance of sheets, etc.
