About

The Engineering Library of the Faculty of Engineering, and Technology is located 183 kilometers along the Kampala-Tororo Highway in Busia District. This Library is a cutting-edge facility located just a few meters from the main gate that leads to Busitema University's Main Administration/Central Administration Block. The Library, built with African Development Bank funds, is a two-story structure of 1,400 square meters in size with a seating capacity of 800. The library's architecture and design represent a space of learning, gathering, and exploring, responding to the increasing information-seeking behaviors of users in academic institutions, interdisciplinary scholarly communication practices, information technology, and online pedagogy. Busitema Campus Library is an academic cornerstone that includes silent open reading spaces, individual and group study and discussion rooms, collaboration and interactive technologies, digital learning spaces, staff welfare and workrooms/offices, inclusive places of convenience, and daylighting. The Engineering Library is headed by Ms. Naggayi Eva and it is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m on weekends and public holidays, with no interruptions.
