OUR LIBRARY

Our library

I’m of the generation who started with the opening of this university, and in the beginning we had to accept all the problems that a new university had. One of these problems is not have a good library, I thought that when the university grew up the problems with the library would be solved, but the problems continue. We don’t have any book for our major, but the others majors like medicine have a lot of books for them without saying that the teacher have to bring their own books or we have to get it in others universities like the Unap.

The university is worried about having all the things that the medicine department needs, and this is undeniable. They always say that they’re going to bring new books for everybody, but is not true, the only thing that we have is access to a poor virtual library and this is not possible for a university that is applying for accreditation.

The problem brigs as a consequence that the students have to pay for everything that they have to read, because they have to photocopy the book that they need that are brought by their own teacher, and it raises a question… How can I get a book if my teacher doesn’t have it?

Now you can see it is not a simple issue, we always have to go to others universities to get the books that we need or just buy it. It is not possible that all the people that work here don’t worry about it and tell us lies, how the university bought books but they were stolen.

I know this problem is not going to be solved for us, but new generations deserve a good library and all the materials and books that they need for academic development.
