Periodicals Section

The Periodicals Section collection includes the following:

• News letters

Reference Section

The Purpose of Reference Section and Information services are:

1. To develop and maintain an up-to-date, relevant and readily accessible reference collection.
2. To meet the general information needs of the Library clientele, notably students and Faculty members.

Learning Commons

The first learning common was established in August 2004 through the collaboration between Lund University, Sweden and MUST, Uganda. After the winding up of the collaboration/project, the management of the centre was handed over to the library and it has become one of the sections of the library serving undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Services Include:

• Instructions on how to access electronic journals
• Information search skills training
• Usernames and Passwords to databases the Library Subscribes to
• Guidance on research literature review
• Guidance on how to use reference management software (Zotero)
