MESSAGE FROM THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN<\/h4>\n

Welcome to NDU-K Library<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/header>
\n

On behalf of the National Defence University-Kenya Library System, I extend a warm welcome to all students, faculty, and staff of the NDU-K. The Library consists of the up-coming main library at the Seat in Lanet \u2013Nakuru; the National Defence College library, Joint Command and Staff College library; Kenya Military Academy library; International Peace Support Training Centre Library, Defence Forces Technical College Library and the Defence College of Health Sciences library.<\/p>\n

The overall objective is for the college Libraries to maintain their individual unique specificities, but share resources and services. These libraries are dotted all over the NDU-K campuses and provide you with both print and online resources. In addition, the libraries provide you with services, programs and spaces that enable you to achieve your personal and academic goals.<\/p>\n

The online catalogue (NDU-K Cat) provides all the information you need about print collection and where to find them. You have access to a range of online journals and electronic books. We invite you to explore the library.<\/p>\n

We are committed to creating an enabling environment to support cutting-edge research as well as high quality training and learning. You are welcome to visit us in the various libraries.<\/p>\n
