The Library plays a central role in the educational programme of the university as an instrument for study, teaching and research. Particularly, the Federal University Otuoke Library is poised to stimulate intellectual curiosity and promote habits of reading, learning and private study. It is therefore pertinent that every student and researcher seek to be acquainted with the collection and services of the Federal University Otuoke Library being introduced through this guide.

For students to study and become successful learners in any problem solving environment, it is critical that they acquire high level of skills and abilities to recognize the need for information; distinguish ways in which information gaps can be addressed; construct strategies to locate and retrieve information from the print and electronic resources available in the university library; locate and access the information; compare and evaluate information found; and demonstrate an ability to apply information accessed to appropriate problem solving situations. The Federal University Otuoke Library is an integrated system of a network of the Central Library comprising three reading halls, a Scholars Research Den, the Bruce Powell e-Library and the Faculty Libraries. Within the Bruce Powell e-Library is a unique innovation of the Information Literacy laboratory which offers a platform for multi-disciplinary and collaborative multimedia e-learning. The University Library also hosts elaborate resources in conservation and preservation facilities which repair, bind and reproduce needed information materials. Library users are expected to present themselves in acceptable descent dressing and good conduct. We are poised to serve you!
