When asked about his plan in building a better and advanced level library, the newly appointed Chief Librarian said that his vision for the libary is to create a virtual libary environments so that they can reach out to all the users, adding that one of the major problem facing academic library is lack of physical space because it can not accommodate all users that library is meant to serve.



He added that they are going to leverage on Information Communication Technology (ICT) which will cut across 3 different parameters of Internet Technology, Computer Technology and Telecommunication to ensure that they create a virtual library environment so that they can reach out to their users wherever they may be, adding that it will not be necessary for them to come to the library physically before they can access what the library has.
