Replacing the traditional card catalog, the OPAC leads library users to information
materials in three access points : by name of author, by title, and by subject. OPAC
stations are located at the General Reference Section and Circulation Section..
Pathfinders/Bibliographies
The Reference Librarian compiles bibliographies/research guides on topics of interest to the faculty. The goal of the library is to create as many pathfinders/bibliographies by subject to serve as research guides..

Faculty Reading Area
Starting 1st Semester 2007-2008, the library has provided a Faculty Reading Area to make sure that the faculty are assured of a reading/research space anytime they visit the library.
Referral Service/Networking
By tradition, Filipino librarians have established an informal network by which one library borrows from another or one’s academic community avails of another’s services even without formal agreements. All that is needed is a letter of introduction from the Chief Librarian addressed to the librarian of the school you need to visit. Some libraries, however, research fee in addition to the referral letter. Feati University is a member library of the Intramuros Consortium.
Internet and Multimedia Stations
Five computer terminals with internet connection provide library users with faster and
wider source of data for their assignments or research paper. It is also through these
terminals that multimedia resources such as CDs and floppy discs are read.
Photocopying Service
For P1.00/copy for both regular and legal size paper, selected pages of a reference book, reserve/textbook, or any other library room-use only material may be reproduced in the library. |
