Library

The IST Library (BIST) has existed since 1911, when the Instituto Superior Técnico was created, being the successor, in part, of the existing one at the Instituto Industrial e Comercial de Lisboa, which had its origin in the second half of the 19th century.

BIST is characterized by being a Higher Education Library, specialized in the areas of Engineering, Science and Technology, possessing a documentary heritage that, enriched over the years, assumes itself as one of the most important at the national level.
