OUSL Library
OUSL Library network consists of the Main University Library at Nawala and 08 Regional Centre libraries. The Library network holds a rich collection of books, journals, magazines, statistical reports, etc., and provides a wide range of services for its users.
Although the library was setup initially to support academic staff in their teaching and research activities, later the boundaries of the library have been gradually expanded to accommodate the students, becoming a main learning support service provider for the distance learners.
The library promotes open learning culture through specialized facilities provided in the library such as past question paper collection, course material collection, audio-visual learning support collection and remote library services, through the virtual library access. It also provides facilities for knowledge exchange and scholarly communications by providing individual and group learning spaces in the library.
