WELCOME TO THE LIBRARY OF THE OPEN UNIVERSITY OF SRI LANKA
In line with the vision and mission of the Open University of Sri Lanka, the library network offers a variety of services to its members to enhance the academic excellence of the university through teaching, learning, and research. The library collection, taking the above functions into consideration, has a direct relationship with overall courses taught at the university. In addition, other reading materials, such as novels, magazines, newspapers, etc. are also housed in the library for your leisure reading. As one of the most important sections in the university, the library seeks all the possible ways to provide relevant, balanced, and timely information sources and resources to fulfill your academic goals, which in return helps the university to produce quality graduates and researchers for society.
I take this opportunity to invite the university community to become active members of the library network, either physically or remotely, which is essential to develop your different types of library skills. Such enthusiasm, on the other hand, will help you to become a lifelong learner. Since our library is resource full - learner centered system, I encourage you to explore our physical, electronic and multimedia collection at the main library and regional center libraries to gain resources and information from a variety of subject areas. Our qualified and well-trained library staff are ready to help you any time while they are on duty. Visit us regularly in person or through any available media for the benefit of your future endeavors.
