UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

About the Library

Achievers University Library commenced operations with the University in April, 2008.  It is established to provide academic and intellectual support for teaching/learning programmes of the University.  This is being done through provision of information and knowledge to library users to meet their information, academic and research related needs in their various disciplines. Facilities

  • The Library now operates temporarily, in a block of two large halls pending the construction of the University Library building which will take off with the rest of the phase I capital projects of the University. 
  •  The plan of the Library Administration is to have both physical library and e-library co-exist, but with more emphasis placed on the latter.  For this purpose, the library is building up its physical collection of books and serials publications on continuous basis and it is growing steadily.  Efforts are made to keep the collection alive and up-to-date.
 Services
  • It can accommodate about 200 readers at a time.  This is still able to meet the minimum requirement in relation to the current population of students.
The establishment of e-library/virtual library is already going on. It will consists of 30 reader-stations to provide access to the internet for readers.  The University recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, with the British Council, making it the first of its kind in the country, which gives the University, staff and students access to over 60,000 full textbooks and other documents from academic and professional publishers in the global world of knowledge, just by a click of a button, whether they are on campus or on holidays. It also gives students and academic staff ticket for the use of the British Council Library in any country they visit. It covers diverse areas of knowledge in Social and Management Sciences as well as Science and Technology. In addition, the MOU provides possibility for short-time training for the staff and students, and also has the potential of facilitating linkages between the University and reputable British universities.
