The library has been automated using KOHA. With this software, the library clients will be able to search for the library holdings via the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) as opposed to the traditional card catalogue formerly in use. Online cataloguing and book lending are also made possible.
To achieve its stated objectives, the library is presently organized into five divisions. These are the University Librarian’s Office; the Collection Development Division; the Technical Services Division; the Users’ Services Division; and the Electronic & Audio-Visual Resources Division.
- The University Librarian’s Office is responsible for the more important management functions such as planning, organising, staffing, budget preparation and defence, controlling & supervision, measurement and evaluation of activities, operational procedures and services, and reporting, among others.
- The Collection Development Division comprising the Bibliographic Checking Unit, the Ordering, Receiving and Invoice Processing Unit and the Gift and Exchange Unit. The Division handles all the activities relating to library acquisitions.
- The Technical Services Division which consists of the Cataloguing and Classification Unit, the Book Labelling and Mending Unit and the Bindery Unit. The Division is responsible for the processing of library materials.
- The User Services Division which is comprised of the Reference Services Unit; the Circulation and Reserve Collection Unit; and the Serials, Government Publications & Special Collections Unit. The Division takes charge of the public services of the library.
- The e-Library Division is responsible for the development, organisation and handling of the electronic/audio-visual services. It consists of the Electronic & AV resources Unit, Digitization Unit and the Network Management Unit
