The UGLS consists of the Balme library, which is the main library, the Accra City campus library, the College of health Sciences library, hall libraries, departmental libraries, school libraries, institute libraries etc. These libraries are dotted all over the UG campuses and provide you with both print and online resources. In addition, the libraries provide you with services, programs and spaces that enable you to achieve your personal and academic goals.
The online catalogue (UGCat) provides all the information you need about textbooks and where to find them. You have access to a range of online journals and electronic books and some academic related software such as Endnote and Mendeley.
