The Maseno University Library (MSUL) is a resource, central to the research and teaching activity of the university. This responsibility includes providing material for current research and teachings as well as anticipating future needs, taking into account the development and introduction of new teaching programmes and new areas of research interest. The Library provides much of the material needed for both undergraduate and postgraduate purposes. The policy is an inclusive statement of aims rather than a description of the collections which have been built up in the past. It sets out the University Library's aspirations, which are intended to be realistic rather than utopian. Implementation is dependent on the availability of
resources.
