GUST E-Library
A service dedicated to students of the GUST’s Distance learning community. We provide online resources, professional support and guidance to all our students whenever, and from wherever they have chosen to study.
We believe that:
Access to adequate library services and resources is essential for the attainment of superior academic skills in post-secondary education, regardless of where students, faculty, and programs are located.
Members of the distance learning community are entitled to library services and resources equivalent to those provided for students and faculty in traditional campus settings.
