It is my pleasure to welcome you to Heritage Christian College (HCC) library. As a Christian institution of higher learning, all of our degrees and support programs are built on a Christian worldview. The library serves as the backbone of research and development activities and the use of library resources serves as a vital tool in achieving great success.
As such, a diverse collection of both print and electronic resources are available to meet the information, research and curriculum needs of Faculty, Staff and students. Please be sure to contact any of our learned staff should you need help with your studies or adjustment to college life. We are here to help you learn, grow, and mature in your respective disciplines.
The HCC Library is the main pivot around which academic life revolves within the university community. The library has a very effective selection and acquisition system, which is done in consultation with the faculty that makes it possible to have a balanced collection of books/materials that best fit all disciplines offered by the University College. The library has an extensive collection of books, periodicals as well as electronic resources provided through the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Ghana (CARLIGH).
One distinctive feature of the HCC library is the existence of an electronic library (E-library) which complements the use of print materials. The E-library contains a wide selection of books on all subject areas which are made available to community members, irrespective of location. Additionally, a variety of local as well as international periodicals are available to keep the university community abreast with contemporary issues.
The library anticipates and responds to needs of Faculty and students’ by providing a congenial atmosphere for studies as well as the information necessary for effective teaching, learning and research.
