Library Newsletter

YEAR OF READING @BUiD

WELCOME NOTE

Greetings!

This newsletter is to inform

you of the developments

made in the summer and

will continue to improve our

resources and services.

Indeed, it is very exciting to

share the development of

our own e-resources. We

have subscribed to a good

number of databases such

as Science Direct,

ProQuest, Taylor & Francis

and additional EBSCOhost

databases.

We hope that as we strive

to develop we meet your

needs in even better ways.

All the best!

- Marisol Sulit Leonen, Head of Library Services
