WINISIS- Library software was installed to ease library management. It is user friendly and it is used to retrieve and access the materials. In other words it serves as a library catalogue.
The Library has got two full time librarians and one system Assistant who handles the technical activities and ensures that it operates effectively.
Like any other institution, the library has got rules and regulations which are used as guidelines while conducting library business. Thus, both the staff and library users have to respect them.
