Message

At Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, I was part of the team that installed and implemented the KOHA Integrated Library System. I use it to support circulation, user accounts, and cataloging and classification through MARC records.

I apply D-Space to organize and maintain the university’s digital content, including theses, dissertations, and research publications. I also support digital preservation and help users and researchers access resources for academic work.

As Head Librarian at DeKUT CBD Campus, I led reading and research services and planned library activities. I also conducted user orientation and provided reference and information services.

My work includes facilitating information literacy programs, coordinating internal ISO audit activities, and coordinating library disability mainstreaming activities. I have also published on digital literacy for students with visual and hearing impairments in Kenyan public universities.
