Learning Resource Center – Library

Learning Resource Center

HISTORY

The Learning Resource Center, then known as the Our Lady of Fatima University Library, traces its roots from the early years of the formation of the University when the administration decided to put up a resource center that will house all the learning materials of the students.

As student population grew, more buildings were constructed, and more programs were launched. In 1996, the University’s second campus was established in Quezon City. These expansion efforts and developments paved the way for the modernization of resource facilities and the opening of additional unit libraries.

A significant time came in 2003, when a team of qualified librarians spearheaded its development plan of transforming the traditional library into a modern library. In the same year, acquisition of library materials intensified. The initial collection of 25,000 volumes further increased as the department envisioned to support the life-long learning of the students.

In 2008, the Library Integrated System Automation (LISA) was procured to make library transactions fast and efficient. This was the first and current library system used by the Learning Resource Center.

Following the opening of the Antipolo and Pampanga campuses in 2010 and 2012 respectively, the OLFU Library continued to boost efforts in delivering quality services and resources to members of the academe. Libraries for the University’s Basic Education Department also began to operate.

In 2015, the Library’s name was changed to “Learning Resource Center” (LRC) as per directive of the OLFU President. The following year, the Cabanatuan Library was built as the University’s fifth campus, the Nueva Ecija Campus, opened its doors to its first enrollees.

Now, the LRC continues to become a catalyst of change as it has established a good foundation in keeping the records of library holdings, library process and procedures.

VISION

We are a premier hub for high quality, multi-format and multi-disciplinary informational resources for learning and research.

MISSION

The OLFU Learning Resource Center supports the University’s mission to “improve man as man” through the provision of comprehensive informational resources and the utilization of technology in the delivery of LRC services.

GOALS and OBJECTIVES

The LRC aims to achieve its mission by:

  • Promoting understanding of the research, teaching and learning needs of the academic community through robust assistance to students and faculty within the library premises
  • Providing access to quality resources in all formats to support research, teaching and learning with strong collaboration with Deans, Faculty and students
  • Creating good and conducive environments for study for its library clients
  • Developing, encouraging, and sustaining a committed and high-caliber staff
  • Being at the forefront in the consortia area in offering quality educational resources in various formats to support the learning needs of the local community

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Learning Resource Center is directly under the Vice President for Academic Affairs.  It is organized into the following major service functions:

  1. Administration Services
  2. Technical Services
  3. Customer Services

The Library has fifteen (15) unit libraries in five (5) campuses: Valenzuela, Quezon City, Antipolo, Pampanga, and Nueva Ecija.

LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Library System involves diversified functions and services but with centralized administration and the advancement of technology, its management is simplified. The rapid growth of technology has brought a satisfactory level of performance in handling more information with greater efficiency, and opened opportunities for cooperation among the different functions of the LRC.

The System is heading towards full computerization and uses OPAC (On-Line Public Access Catalog) through the Library Integrated System Automation (LISA) program. It also provides access to internet and CD-ROM facilities.

Accepting Outside Researchers

Our Lady of Fatima University Learning Resource Center accepts outside researchers and students of other schools and universities who wish to utilize the library collection subject to some rules.

  • If a visitor is an outside researcher, he/she needs to present any valid government issued Identification Card, state the purpose of visit, and the institution he/she is affiliated with. He/she then fills out the visitor log sheet. All materials are for Room Use Only.
  • If a visitor is a student from another school or university, he/she needs to present his official school ID and the referral letter duly signed by the head librarian of his/her school. The date of visit shall be specified. Only student visitors indicated in the referral letter shall be allowed to use the library materials.

Note: The Chief Librarian (CL) and and the Customer Services Librarian (CSL) reserve the right to refuse admission of outside researchers during the following occasions: (1) examination days; (2) high volume of users in the library; (3) no referral letter presented; (4) insufficient identification documents to establish identity of visitor; and other possible considerations deemed by CL and CSL that may arise.
