| SLRU Now Open Michelle Ann Velasco

DURING THE OPENING of the school
year, Dean Gloria Bernas cited her plans and
improvements for the College of Science. One of
which was the establishment of the Science Learning Resource Unit
(SLRU)
at Room 301 of the College. And the much-awaited
is finally over, as the plan became a reality. The Osato Research
Institute headed by Prof. James Akira Osato, a
Japanese industrialist, funded the establishment
of the SLRU. Consequently, Science named the unit
as the Academician James Akira Osato Science
Learning Resource Unit. According to Dr. Roberto Andres, SLRU Supervisor, the
SLRU was conceived because of the study trends
that students have and partly from the learning
resource unit in the College of Medicine.
Dr. Andres also
mentioned of the three-fold objective of the
SLRU. First, to provide Science students access
to the latest scientific information. Second, to
integrate computer technologies into the
teaching-learning process, thus make students
also InfoTech literate. Third and last, to
develop students who are not only active learners
but also to independent learners.
The SLRU
provides facilities for multimedia material,
slide production, digital scanning, development
and printing of presentation/ teaching materials,
use of Internet facilities, electronic mailing
and for holding small meetings in the conference
room.
The use of the
SLRU is free and accessible to all Science
students, faculty members, staff and members of
the administration. Students, faculty members and
staff of other colleges or universities must have
an approved written request directed to the SLRU
supervisor and endorsed by the office of the Dean
before using the SLRU.
The SLRU is the
second learning resource unit in the university,
and upon its establishment, Dr. Andres hopes that
"other colleges in the university could also
have their own learning resource unit."
