The Library Department will be holding a Virtual Library Open Week event from 14th – 16th April 2021, where we will showcase our electronic information resources, services, and facilities, all of which are accessible to the University community.
A key resource, in particular, is our remote access facility which allows our students to access electronic reading material from anywhere at any time. In light of the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, this is a convenient innovation.
The theme of this year's Open Week is “Open Access & Academic Integrity for a Knowledgeable Society”.
This year's event is geared towards the realization of the library’s mission; to provide quality information services that will empower the University in carrying out its core activities of teaching, learning, research, and community services/consultancy.
Kindly register in advance for this three-day event:
