Welcome to the Library and Documentation Centre
The UMI Library and Documentation Services (LDS) has a wealth of information materials and personnel resources to help users meet their training, consultancy and research needs. To be able to use our resources effectively, the library staff would be delighted to help you through this guide and the orientation tours. The overall objective of the LDD is to collect, organize, store and disseminate latest information materials to users in order to uphold the training, consultancy and research services of UMI.
Over 25,000+ volumes of books and 25 hardcopy journals subscribed, in addition to newspapers. Some e-journal databases & others are also subscribed jointly with the Consortium of Uganda University Libraries (CUUL). A collection of CD-ROMs are also available. The list is available at the Issue Desk on request.
Orientation:
User Orientation is conducted for all participants at the beginning of every course. It is important that every participant attend the orientation exercises for their own benefit. Please, contact the librarian for assistance when you miss this important exercise.
