An ultra-modern electronic library (e-library) has been inaugurated for Adehye Hall of the University of Cape Coast to enhance the research works of residents of the Hall.
The 30-seating capacity facility would also give users hands-on experience in Information Technology (IT) skills and broaden their knowledge in a fast-evolving digital world.
The University of Cape Coast Librarian, Dr. Mac-Anthony Cobblah, who cut the tape to inaugurate the e-Library, described it as a knowledge-based centre and commended the Hall Council and the student leadership for the facility.
He was optimistic that the e-library would equip students with modern ICT skills.
