About Us

  • Welcoming Note,

    Welcome to the Library portal of Kolej Universiti INSANIAH (KUIN).

    The library of Kolej Universiti INSANIAH was established to assist in the process of teaching, learning, research and publication of exclusive science culture in KUIN. All of these processes can be translated through the various services provided by the KUIN Library.

    Hence, the method of delivering information quickly and accurately to university staff has always been a major contributor to the library. This situation will also make the hub of the information dissemination in terms of teaching, research, publication of quality scientific materials and so on. In addition, the programs will be diversified to encourage the use of more optimal libraries.

    In addition to the existence of digital era that is so rapid and appropriate, the role of library also needs to be transformed in order to be able to become a valuable centre of knowledge. The quiet tradition of a library needs to be re-evaluated so that libraries are active and at the same time more user-friendly.

    It is hoped that this portal will become a liaison between the library and the university community in a more friendly and close. Any views, suggestions and other improvements are highly appreciated so that KUIN could become a top Islamic institution of higher education..
