The MCNP Library is proud to be a member of the Cagayan Library Consortium (CLC). This partnership allows us to share resources with other member institutions, providing our students and faculty with access to a wider range of materials and services. Through the CLC, we can access a vast array of books, journals, databases, and other resources that would otherwise be unavailable. This collaborative approach enhances our ability to support research, learning, and community engagement.
The Cagayan Library Consortium (CLC) convened on October 22, 2024 at the Mayor’s Conference Room to prepare for the Library and Information Services (LIS) Month and National Book Week Activities for the month of November.
