The library is the central part of any educational institution. It brings together people, technology, and resources to help clients use knowledge and technology to improve their lives.

Information and knowledge are vital for achieving the institution's goals. How they are chosen, obtained, stored, accessed, and shared within the institution will greatly impact the success of teaching, research, and other academic activities. The institution depends on clear policies regarding access to and provision of information. Therefore, the library plays an active role in developing and implementing these policies.

Each institution has its own vision, mission, goals, and objectives, influenced by its philosophy, location, and social responsibility. Similarly, as a part of the institution, the library has a unique role to fulfill.
