Who We Are
The University Library, known as the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library (named after its second Vice Chancellor (1966 -1975), was established in 1962. It has therefore continued to render library and information services to the OAU community for over six decades. The Library belongs to the 1st generation in the tertiary education space within the Nigerian State. The collections consist of over 800,000 volumes and 265,764 titles of journals (381,528 Issue parts). In addition, the Library is a repository of Nigerian Newspapers dating from 1970 till date, as well as the old Western State Court Records (1900-1960). These collections of arrays (by age and scope) therefore represent a trajectory in the information resource and holdings landscape between the old and the new within the Nigerian academia.
