Library User Stories is a storytelling initiative created to highlight the real experiences of students and other members of the Busitema University community as they use the library. This project gives a voice to our users by allowing them to share how the library supports their learning, research, and personal growth.

Through a short video interview, Tassa Gerald speaks openly about:

  • How often he uses the library and for what purposes
  • What he appreciates most about the library
  • Memorable experiences he has had while using the library
  • How library services both physical and digital have supported his academic journey
  • The resources he finds most useful
  • His suggestions for improving library services
  • Why he believes every student should make use of the library
