The Universiti Nasional Malaysia Library (UKM) was established in conjunction with the establishment of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur in 1970. It includes the main library and its four branches. The main library, named Tun Seri Lanang Library, is located in the main campus area of Bangi, while the four branch libraries are Malay World and Civilization Library (Bangi), Law Library (Bangi), Abdul Latiff Medical Library (Kuala Lumpur) and Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre Library (Cheras).


The Tun Seri Lanang Library covers an area of 220,000 sq ft, with a 10,000 sq ft Malay World and Civilisation Library, 24,600 sq ft law Library, 40,000 sq ft Abdul Latiff Medical Library and 20,000 sq ft HUKM Library. As of 31 December 2010, the total collection of UKM Libraries was 1,468,519 volumes, including books, periodicals and media items. The collection of 732,675 volumes contains books and periodicals from the Tun Seri Lanang Library, 53,455 from the Malay World and Brunei Library, 83,217 from the Law Library, 131,307 from the Abdul Latiff Medical Library and 70,388 from the Medical Centre Library.

Since 1991, UKM Library has been using its integrated library system through DOBIS/LIBIS. In order to accommodate the rapid expansion of the database, the library moved to VIRTUA, the integrated library system, in mid to late 1999. As of January 2003, UKM Digital Collection began indexing and creating full-text databases using Content Manager software.
