About the Library
  • The university library has become one of the fundamental criteria guiding institutional evaluation, and is a key component in the assessment of any university.
  • The library is the repository of the university's intellectual, scientific and academic heritage. A university without a library serving its goals and objectives is unimaginable.
  • The library is the heart of the school — a principal and indispensable element in the teaching and scientific research process.
  • Founded at the school's establishment in 1900, the library has undergone several important developments and renovations since independence.
  • The library specialises in the fields taught at the school and provides essential research resources to students and researchers.
  • Its primary role is to accompany and support teaching and research activities, and to facilitate access to various documents and resources.
