Message from Director – DLS

Dear, our esteemed library users,

It is my privilege to welcome you to our library website. I hope this website will provide you with valuable information on the availability, accessibility and utilisation of our library resources and services. The Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU) has two libraries, one located at the Main Campus in Moshi, and the other at the Kizumbi Institute of Cooperative and Business Education (KICoB) in Shinyanga. Our main focus is to meet the information needs of the academic community. At present our library’s physical collection is about 45,000 titles covering books, periodicals, manuals, and reference materials. Also, our libraries subscribe to several online databases.  Additionally, our libraries are equipped with modern facilities to enhance the acquisition, processing, storage, preservation, searching and retrieval of information.

Please be informed that access to our library resources and services is open to students and all staff of MoCU as well as the general public. However, the latter can access our library resources and services through a special membership subscription. To enhance the steady utilisation of library resources and services, our libraries are managed by knowledgeable, skilled, methodical and dedicated library staff who are always happy to assist users in locating, retrieving and using information. Being an academic unit, our libraries are also responsible for teaching, researching and providing consultancy services in library and information science, information and knowledge management, information literacy, records and archives management and related fields.

Kindly feel free to send us your comments and feedback about our services via dcla@mocu.ac.tz. We are always excited and happy to be part of your academic and research success. You are warmly welcome!

With cooperative greetings,

Dr. Jaffar Msafiri Ponera,

Acting Director, Directorate of Library Services.
