Library Strategic Plan

2025 - 2029

The Aga Khan University (AKU) Libraries network, comprising ten libraries, a Digital Scholarship Centre, and a University Archives,

serves as a cornerstone for the University's academic, teaching, and research initiatives. Spanning six countries and five campuses,

the libraries provide comprehensive access to a diverse array of information resources in both print and digital formats, supporting

the University's mission to advance knowledge and learning. The AKU Libraries aspire to be leading research libraries with a significant

global impact, collaborating with the University and wider communities in creating, preserving, and exploring knowledge.

The strategic plan for 2025-2029 focuses on enhancing research output and supporting teaching and learning at AKU. Key objectives

include creating and delivering responsive, multi-format, multi-lingual collections that meet the needs of a diverse global user base;

preserving the University’s institutional memory; and simplifying access to and discovery of collections across all regions.​
