Our library provides an essential support for research and the core of undergraduate teaching programmes. A million books, periodicals and pamphlets supply the needs of all members of the University and form an important reference base for research throughout the Southwest region. The main library headquarters, comprised of the Arts and Social Sciences Libraries, is a modem functional building which seats over 700 readers and provides sophisticated computer based lending services. The remainder of the Library s stock and services are located in faculty and departmental buildings in Medicine, Science, Engineering, Education and Law.
Next, I d like to talk about our computer facilities. Our Computer Centre, in the Winston Churchill Building, offers a wide range of computer services to both students and staff. In addition to operating and maintaining the computer services in common use, the Computer Centre organizes regular courses for University staff and provides documentation for all services. In addition to conventional courses, the Centre has several video-based courses and others using computer-aided instruction.
And finally, let me mention our Language Laboratory and Projection Services Centre. The Centre is situated at 35 Woodland Road in the new Faculty of Arts Complex. There are three language laboratories which may be used for classes or individual work to strengthen oral competence. The installation is comprised of sixty booths and three console teacher desks with machines capable of distributing three different languages at the same time. The tape library of more than 3,000 tapes includes languages at various levels. Provision is also made for the viewing of all visual materials and for listening to recordings of plays and poetry in a number of languages. The Centre is equipped with a recording studio for the making of audio materials. That completes my introduction to our University Library. I hope you ll enjoy using our facilities. If you have any questions, please stop by at any time. Thank you.
