The collection development unit is also known as acquisition unit.  This unit is responsible for acquiring print and non-print materials into the library. The UL works in collaboration with the Library Committee to acquire up-to-date information resources to meet information needs of users. 

This section of the library is in charge of cataloguing and classification of books and other information materials acquired into the library. (cataloguing is the process of describing a book; it includes identifying the author, title, and publishing information (i.e date, place, etc) and determining the main entry, added entries, subject heading and call number). 

This section ensures that all books and other information resources fully processed are displayed for consultation and use by library clients. This section provides services directly to the readers.

This section handles publications that come in successive parts, at regular intervals and intended to be continued indefinitely, such as journals, magazines, newspaper, newsletters, reports, memos, proceedings, transactions of societies, bibliographies, abstracts, indexes and other periodicals. The section also houses students’ projects and other scholarly works generated by the University community.
