About the AUN Library

View of the new library, which is currently under construction.


THE AUN Library, established during the summer of 2005, supports and advances the research and instructional needs of the AUN community by facilitating access to scholarly information resources.

The Library is temporarily housed in the Multi-Purpose Building on the AUN campus while a new state-of-the-art library building is under construction. The current Library site offers wireless access and power for students' laptops and also has 15 desktop PCs installed for the use of patrons who have not brought their laptops with them.

The Library space is centered around the Library courtyard. The Main Reading Room houses the Reference and Circulation desks and a periodical reading area. There is an audio-visual room where videos can be viewed and where classes are taught and there are also three reading rooms where students can meet and study.

The library can accomodate large groups of people.

The Library offers Reference, Circulation and Information Literacy services to the AUN students and faculty and places a strong emphasis on facilitating the research needs of the AUN community.

The Library's collection currently contains approximately 19,000 volumes and has growing periodical and audio-visual collections. Using the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings the Library intends to offer quick and easy access to all the resources in the Library as well as those available via the electronic databases to which the University subscribes. This effort has been enhanced by the implementation of the new Millennium integrated library system which provides the base for the various modules that provide easy access to research resources.

Students are welcome to do their homework, peruse the latest International and Nigerian newspapers and journals, and surf the net in the comfort of the AUN Library!
