SMERI > Library

The Library acts as the pivot of the three Bureaus of the Institute. Housing more than 5,000 books in five languages (English, Arabic, Persian, Filipino, and Malay/Indonesian), 500 issues of periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers, etc.), 200 articles, 1,000 electronic books, documents and articles, CD/DVD programs, and audio-video tapes on various subjects, this library is no doubt a comprehensive private one in the region.

On April 24, 2005, SMERI acquires five (5) powerful database programs designed to catalog and manage various library items such as books, periodicals (magazines, journals, newsmagazines, newsletters, and newspapers), audio-video items, software programs, and stamps. These library programs are: BookCAT, CATraxx, CATVids, SoftCAT Plus, and StampCAT. For more information on the salient features of each of the programs, visit: www.fnprg.com.

Open to the public, the library is ready to serve all readers, students, teachers, researchers, and scholars. It is open from Monday to Thursday (8:00 - 11:30 am / 1:00 - 4:50 pm). It is open on national and religious holidays (except on Islamic festivals).
