We develop collections that support evolving academic priorities and an inclusive community with diverse needs. We make our collections accessible and discoverable through our UGCat  The collections of the Library cover the courses on the Campus. The Library of Congress (LC) Classification Scheme is in use to classify and process books in the library. Currently, the total volume of books stands at about 20,000. The Library has a variety of study spaces spread over the first and second floors. All the study areas have WIFI, study tables, comfortable seats, power outlets, and well air-conditioning. The Library provides various services to aid teaching, learning, and research. Student ID is required for inspection before use of the Library is allowed.

Reserved Collection: The Reserved Collection is a collection of selected and current textbooks of all the subjects taught on the Accra City Campus. As much as possible, multiple copies of such textbooks are housed in this library. These are for REFERENCE ONLY.

Reader Services

The unit is basically responsible for providing among other things;

• Reference assistance
• Guidance on the use of the library’s information resources (including  our print collections, OPACs,  and e-journals)
• Assistance for locating resources in and beyond the library
