About Us
The UCB Library (formerly known as the KTB Library) was established on June 4, 1998, in line with the establishment of the Kolej Teknologi Bestari to assist in the teaching, learning, and research process. The library is capable of accommodating a student capacity of 200 people at a time.
On August 1, 2012, the Kolej Teknologi Bestari was upgraded to an institution of higher learning known as the University College Bestari (University College Bestari-UCB) and the KTB library was changed to the UCB Library. The library’s total collection has reached approximately 20,000 collections of materials, including monographs, magazines, CD collections, printed journal collections, student thesis collections, and newspapers cutting. UCB libraries classify materials using the LCC (Library Congress Classification) classification system, starting from the alphabet A to Z, which is an international standard commonly used in academic and university libraries.
