NOTICE BOARD
Our seventh edition of the Orient (the Library Newsletter) is published at the beginning of every semester and is made availble via all our Online and Social Media platforms. This semester's edition is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Oti-Appiah, the former cataloger of the Library.
The Chapman Library has a number of platforms, to which all patrons could be members. Notable among these is the WhatsAop platform, whiich has been used to bring all levels of students together, to have a realtime library information sharing experience.
Patrons are encouraged to join any of the pgrop category they belong to, in order to have this real-time experience with the Library.
The Library organizes a library One-on-One Session for all its patrons, once a year, in the Second Semester of that year.
This is to encourage interfacing with the library on various needs that patrons may have.
This season, however, the One-on-One session will be organized online and done on semester basis. Students, Alumni, Staff and Community Members will be called individually and given an orientation, at their prefered time.
The Library has so far, organized two Open Days, where patrons were given a one-stop tour of the library, both physically and via an online means (for the second program).
The event, not only meant to primarily showcase the resources and services of the library, but as well raise some funds for a special library project. This season, we are raising One Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢100,000.00) to invest into our Virtual Library conceptt.
