To enhance accessibility and utilization of information resources, the John Harris Library has implemented a decentralized system of libraries. This strategic approach aims to bring resources closer to users, particularly within individual faculties and colleges within the university. The establishment of faculty libraries serves the purpose of proximity and ease of access to the diverse range of library resources.
The decentralized structure encompasses various branch libraries that are extensions of the main university library. These branch libraries are strategically located within different faculties and colleges, ensuring that students, faculty, and researchers have convenient access to relevant materials. This decentralized model promotes a seamless flow of information and supports the specific needs of each academic discipline.
By having library facilities embedded within each faculty and college, the John Harris Library aims to foster a more personalized and tailored experience for users. This decentralized system acknowledges the unique requirements of different academic areas and ensures that resources are readily available to support research, teaching, and learning objectives.
In summary, the John Harris Library’s decentralized system, with its network of faculty libraries and branch libraries, is designed to bring information resources closer to users and facilitate the effective use of library materials across the university community. The libraries are as follows:
