    Commissioning of the Makerere University main library new library extension: activities@MakLib
    (Makerere University Library, 2012-10-29) Musoke, Maria G. N.
    We are all assembled here today because of the strategic decision made by Makerere University Council to support the Library to extend the needed space. This was enhanced by the grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, which focuses on the automation of the Library services and collection development. I congratulate the Makerere University Library team headed by the University Librarian, Professor Maria N. Musoke, for competing with several University Libraries in East and West Africa for this grant and emerging the best. With this new facility and the properties therein, your contribution to the transformation of the Main Library will forever be remembered in the life of this great institution.
