Director’s Massage 

As the last semester and 2015 E.C. draw to a close I reflect upon the changes we have experienced this year. I appreciate the resiliency and persistence I have witnessed across the Libraries within the campus over the past several years as we worked and planned together to ensure the continued success of our students. In particular, I appreciate the team of library members and staff, who, despite the challenges, doubled-down on our commitment to providing equitable and inclusive access to information and technology (the digital wing) resources. 

As one of the functional components of the university it is responsible to deliver quality library services to fulfil the university mission and vision. We are living in the dynamic environment where yesterday information is input for utilizing today’s resource and planning the future. As concept and services of library is dramatically changed with the skills necessary for manipulating information our customers (users) can access library from remote as far as there is Internet connection. Our main objective is satisfying user’s information needs with quality library services for we made the library resources can be accessed easily.

Libraries continue to be here to fill the gaps our students, instructors, staff, and community members might experience. We strive to provide equitable and inclusive access to our resources, services, and spaces, and ready in better position for upcoming years.
