The Noser Library |
Divine Word University Library was inaugurated in 2004. It was named the Friendship Library to recognise the special bond that exists between the people of Papua New Guinea and the people of Australia. The Friendship Library was built with funding from Australia under the PNG Incentive Fund.
The Friendship Library provides a dynamic environment with state of the art facilities to support the curricular study and research needs of the University community.
The Friendship Library collection has over 42000 items including physical items (printed or other physical formats) and access to E-books, E-journals and online databases.
The Library online catalogue contains bibliographic information for all available items whether in print or electronic. (Should “online catalogue” be a link to the actual library catalogue once available in the Internet?)
Training sessions on the use of the library, its online catalogue and the use of full text databases are provided throughout the year as required. Other services include printing, photocopying and disk burning facilities.
The Friendship library primary clientele is students and staff of Divine Word University.
