Welcome to the Department of the Library Services

.The Innovative University of Enga (IUE) believes in Library providing the best available resources to its students and faculty members. Contrary to traditional physical libraries, IUE Library will have the capacity to reach out to all its students and staff on their desktop in the University three campuses. The University aims to implement a Digitalized Library System to cater for the needs of its students, faculties members and the outside communities on its three campuses. 

Thus, IUE job descriptions for the Library staff aspire to provide information on Digitalized Library System (DLS) approach. To do this, the following main pillars considered in definition offered by IUE namely: staff users; students’ users; outside communities’ users and Library’s databases. Accordingly, some skills, instructional programs and qualities are needed both for users and staff of DLS with which they can interact more effectively with new technologies such as DLS are included in the document.

 In fact, IUE Digitalized Library System emphasizes on research and educational functions of DLS and thus offers an approach for its implementation from a managerial standpoint but at the same time provides services to the outside communities.

Library collections have rapidly evolved from a predominance of print books and journals to an ever-growing digital resource. IUE Digitalized Library staff is expected to know how to help all users select and use digital information services such as databases, digital collections, digital archives, e-books, steaming video, discovery search products, the Internet and user-focused library interfaces and applications to offer a wide range of digital library services.

Access the resources users need for their studies online - wherever they happen to be in the IUE Digitalized Library or in PNG. They will have access to a huge range of high- quality digital resources, such as e-books, e-journals, databases, e-newspapers, and multimedia.
In addition, postgraduate students enrolled in the IUE PhD without residence programme, administered by IUE, will enjoy access to the entire electronic holdings of IUE’s library resources with many databases.

The virtual library’s mission is to provide 24 hours/day 7 days/week access to virtual library resources in PNG that uses this cutting-edge technology to drive its knowledge acquisition process.
IUE’s Digital Librarians are professionals who are responsible for organizing and preserving a digital library so that it is accessible by the students, staff, researchers and public through the internet. These librarians must maintain records of their digital collections by cataloguing them accurately. 

They collaborate with other ICT professionals to ensure that all information shared over the web is properly licensed, especially those donated or loaned to the library. Digital Librarians must also monitor the collection budgets and expenditures while maintaining relationships with all full members of the library and vendors associated with the digital library..
