What does "Available" mean in the catalogue?

When the KNUST Library catalogue shows “Available,” it generally means that at least one copy of the item is currently available in the library collection. This usually indicates that the item can be borrowed or used, depending on the material’s circulation rules.

Before going to the shelves, check the catalogue record for the library location, collection, call number, and item status. These details will help you identify where the material is located and whether it is available for borrowing or restricted to in-library use.

Keep in mind that “Available” does not always mean that every copy is available. A title may have several copies, with some available and others already on loan. Some materials may also be marked as available but have special borrowing conditions, such as reference or short-loan restrictions.

If you cannot locate an item marked “Available,” contact the KNUST Library circulation or help desk for assistance.
