Abstract

University libraries acquire book and non‐book materials to support their instructional needs and research programmes. This explains why various library services have been developed to promote and facilitate effective use of recorded information in all formats by users. This paper examines the services offered by the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Library which include collection building, resource‐sharing, conservation, user education and technical services. Others include registration, circulation, library publications, reservation, reference, current awareness and library regulation. It is concluded that, in spite of limited resource allocation, UCC Library has made systematic efforts to offer effective library services to its users.
