资料室 (zīliàoshì): archives room

Common in offices, schools, libraries, and universities. Distinguish from 图书馆 ('library' - the public-facing institution) and 档案室 ('archive of personnel/historical files'). 资料室 holds reference materials, journals, internal documents - somewhere between a library and an archive.

memory

资料 ('material / data') + 室 ('room') = 'data room' / 'materials room'. The same 室 appears in 教室 ('classroom'), 办公室 ('office'), 实验室 ('laboratory') - productive 'X-room' suffix.
