WELCOME TO THE UWI MONA CAMPUS LIBRARY SYSTEM,

"the intellectual heart of the academic community”.

All members of the library staff are dedicated to providing a friendly, efficient and effective service in support of the teaching and learning process and we go the extra mile in trying to provide the information resources required to support the academic programs, for both students and faculty.

In our orientation programmes you will be introduced to the main library and the science and medical branch libraries, as well as various other important areas and facilities.
these include-:

• the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). You can learn to use this in special classes for which you can register.

• MERIC, our Electronic Reference and Information Centre. This provides access to the internet and the electronic data bases to which we subscribe.

• RBC, the reserved book collection where you can access both print and electronic copies of articles identified as prescribed reading for your courses.

• the Overnight Reading Room where you can spend all night studying or word processing your assignments in air conditioned comfort, if you wish.

• WI&SC (The West Indies and Special Collections), which is a closed access collection geared to the needs of post graduate students and advanced researchers.

it is hoped that you will make full use of the various facilities and services and that you will participate in the training programs which are offered by the library for your benefit. By doing this, when you face the pressures of preparing assignments or writing exams, you will not have to panic, but you will be able to find the required information without any difficulty.

Enjoy your stay at UWI, MONA, and remember this-:

“ effective exploitation of the library is one of the keys to success in the academic world.”
