Acquisitions Policy

consultancy programmes of the University. Priority is given to course and
research materials and important reference items. The Library also acquires,

well-balanced collection, with the aim of promoting reading and overall
intellectual development. As the Library also serves the community at large,

researchers in Northern Peninsular Malaysia. Emphasis is given to Malay and
English Language materials, while materials in other languages which are
pertinent to the University's programmes, are also obtained.
