As an academic office, the Library is in the first instance governed by the Library Board whose chair is the Pro-Vice Chancellor. Secondly, it reports to the senate whose chair is the Vice Chancellor.

As mentioned, the Library operates through three intertwined divisions:


Technical Services Division

This division is in charge of profuse behind-the scenes chores comprising acquisitions, cataloguing, classification, indexing, systems and serials management.

The Technical Services (TS) division also acts as the Lesotho clearing agent for International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN). This national responsibility has been entrusted upon the NUL Library since 1987.


Client Access and Extension Services

This division is responsible for face-to-face support to users. Desks under this division are Access plus circulation, Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), Internet provision, Interlibrary loan facilities, branch/site libraries and all matters responsible for distance learning mode.

Under the umbrella of CAES, subject specialists converge to offer the Information Literacy Programme orientation course to new clients.


Archives, Records Management, Museum and Documentation Division

Under the ambit of AREMDOD, is the duty of the Library to vigorously pursue the often, hard-to-find grey/development information and several memorabilia on Lesotho and documents from the various UN agencies. The World Bank supported Lesotho Development Information (DIC) facility is also part of this division.
