MUTLS has two sites:
Main Library on Main Campus
Natural Science Library at North Campus
They both offer the same services – a hybrid of print and electronic resources that can be accessed either physically or virtually. Our goal is to ensure a delightful learning and studying experience, and that no student is left behind.
In 2020 we adopted the slogan ‘The Future of Knowledge Starts Here’, because we want to ensure that all MUT students are information-literate. The library’s capable staff therefore provide library orientation and other workshops during the year that teach students how to use e-books, e-journals, databases, writing tools such as Turnitin, Endnote and Mendeley to enhance their work.
The library offers areas designated for individual study as well as group study. We also loan out laptops for internal use from our Internet Labs.
I support the old adage that ‘the library is the heart of the institution’. This is why I encourage all students to make visiting the library a priority. We offer information resources as well as guidance on how to use those resources to complete your assignments and projects. That is what we are here for, and we are always happy to help.
Our own web page on the University website contains information about who to contact for assistance, our operating hours and any other news. There are also e-notice-boards inside the library.
