Brief History
The College of Science Library originated from the amalgamation of seven (7) satellite libraries within the College. These comprised the libraries of the Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Theoretical and Applied Biology, Mathematics, Biochemistry & Biotechnology, Computer Science, and Optometry.
Hitherto, the library of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Biology, at the basement of the department’s building, doubled as the College library.
The College of Science Library houses materials on Pure and Applied Science and provides physical and digital access to materials on Physics, Chemistry, Theoretical and Applied Biology, Mathematics, Biochemistry Biotechnology, Computer Science, and Optometry. The library also provides a conducive learning environment that supports teaching, learning, and research in accordance with the core mission of the College.
Having gone through some transformation under different leaders and finally with the invaluable support of the then Provost, Prof. Aboagye Menyeh, all the satellite libraries were merged and relocated within the new Aboagye Menyeh complex as the College of Science Library in the year 2010.
The College of Science Library
The College of Science Library is an integral part of the University’s library system. It provides materials on science in both print and electronic format to the entire college to support teaching, learning and research, in accordance with the College’s core mandate.
The library’s stock, therefore, includes core textbooks, journals, newspapers, and theses. The metadata of the library’s resources may be assessed online via http://libcat.knust.edu.gh.
