The UniMAP Library develops and provides access to a wide range of scholarly resources from local and international publishers to meet the information needs of the university community. These resources are available to students and researchers for their academic pursuits.
Postgraduate students and researchers optimize digital scholarly content from e-journals, e-proceedings, e-theses, and other valuable resources. The library offers access to high-quality ebook content suitable for research works.
Undergraduate students are optimizing high-quality e-textbooks accessible anytime, anywhere, from our remote access facility.
More than 50,000 printed books and monographs are available for reference and lending by our university community.
The UniMAP Library provides remote access to digital resources through EZProxy Servers on Cloud platforms. The platform stores membership information, such as name, matric number, and staff number, to enable user identification during authentication.
The remote access facility allows individual users to use and optimize digital resources anytime, anywhere, even when they are outside the campus network.
Individual users are assigned unique usernames and passwords, a security measure that ensures the safety of our digital resources.
