Dr. Richard Boateng
of the Department of Operations and
Management Information Systems, in partnership with
Samsung Electronics,
established a mobile
Library. This mobile library
will allow faculty to post
their lecture notes as well
as drop their publications
for easy access by both
faculty and students.
UGBS Mobile is a library powered by mobile devices. It is
an educational initiative which seeks to provide educational
institutions, students and the general public with multimedia
educational content primarily through mobile devices. It was
launched by Prof. Kwame A. Domfeh, Dean of the University
of Ghana Business School on 10th April 2013. UGBS Mobile
is sponsored by a number of institutional and individual
contributors. The institutions include the PearlRichards
Foundation, Samsung West Africa, Craft Concepts Limited,
Business House JCR 2012/2013 and the Ghana Multimedia
Incubator Centre.
This project is in line with University of Ghana’s goal to
develop world class human resources and capabilities to
meet national development needs and global challenges
through quality teaching, learning, research, and knowledge
dissemination. With the burgeoning rate of mobile diffusion,
equipping the nation’s future leaders with knowledge on
appropriate and entrepreneurial usage of mobile devices
cannot be understated.
