Abstract
The University of Namibia was established in 1992 and started
as a one-campus institution with fewer than 2,500 students to
a university with twelve (12) campuses and nine (9) centers and
more than 25,000 students. This study examines the profiles of the
UNAM Library collections and the historical dynamics that have
impacted it. New programs, schools, and campuses were introduced
at a rapid pace and the library could only attempt to keep
track with all new developments surrounding it. The role of collection
assessment, collection development policy, and e-books
were investigated within this scenario.
