5.2 Library Services
The IFM library (IFML) is as old as the Institute itself, i.e. established in 1972. It is located on the second and third floors of the main building, Block A.
The activities of IFM library are geared towards supporting the teaching and research activities of the Institute trough the provision of textbooks, periodicals, newspapers and other reading materials to lecturers, administrative staff, students and other needy members of the public such as researchers, government and non−government officials, etc. As part the Institute’s third five year Corporate Plan of 2009 − 2014, the IFM library has recently been expanded and equipped with modern information processing soft and hardware. The automation of IFM library has involved the installation of the following:
I F M P R O S P E C T U S , A C A D E M I C Y E A R 2 0 1 3 / 1 4 Page 134 State of the art In Magic library information software
LAN including cabling and accessories
20 networked personal computers including Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) user access points.
A heavy−duty reproduction photocopier One heavy−duty network printer
The installation of In Magic library information software has changed the modus operandi of IFML from manual to computerize. Selection, ordering and lending of library materials can now be done electronically. This has enabled IFM library to have an online catalogue with automated resource management functions like cataloguing and classification based on Anglo−American Cataloguing Rule 2 (AACR2) and classified Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). Also, it has effective information search and retrieval capability with increased search and retrieval return rate and multi−user service capability.
