College of Education Library

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)


1.  I’m a freshman, how do I apply for a Library Card?

For freshmen and new students, bring these requirements to your respective satellite library:
a. 2 copies 1x1 ID Picture
b. Official Receipt of Payment upon enrolment

2. I lost my library card, what should I do?

For those who lost their Library Card, they are required to pay the Borrower’s Card Replacement Fee (Php 25.00) at the Cashier’s Office, Administration Building, MSU-IIT and they have to provide 1 copy 1x1 ID picture. A new borrower’s card will be issued one week after the report of loss.

3. How do I borrow books at the CED Library?

Some books may be borrowed for a certain period. To borrow books, MSU-IIT constituents are required to bring their Borrower’s Card and present it to the Library Staff.

4. I forgot to return the book on time, what should I do?

Return the book to the library as soon as possible to avoid accruing of overdue fines. Overdue Fines are imposed if a borrower fails to return the materials as follows:

·   Circulation Books:   A fine of P5.00 per day is imposed for every overdue book for the first   three   days   and   P10.00 per day thereafter.
·  Reserve Books: An initial fine of P5.00 is charged for the first hour of overdue books thereafter, P1.00 each hour, or a maximum of P20.00 a day is imposed.
·  General Reference/Filipiniana resources in all satellite libraries are for room use only. If taken out without permit, or not returned on due time a fine of P100.00 an hour is imposed.

5. Am I allowed to use the computer inside the Research Network Area?

Each satellite library in MSU-IIT has its own Research Network Area for internet resources, eJournals and eBooks. In CED Library, each student is given an hour to use a computer because of the limited number of units. However, you may be given a time extension if there are no users waiting for a vacant unit.

6. I still have my Borrower’s Card but it got damaged because it is too old and got all wet, can I get it replaced with a newer one?

Yes, you may have your old borrower’s card replaced with a new one. Old and damaged borrower’s card can be replaced free of charge if the old one is surrendered to the library staff. However, if the old/damaged borrower’s card is not being surrendered, it will be considered lost and a replacement fee will have to be paid by the user.

College of Education Library Renovation

By Anonymous
Last week, big changes were made inside the College of Education Library!  Newly installed windows near CED Lib's Circulation Section In a span of one week, the old windows of the CED Library were replaced with white sliding windows with bronze-tinted glass. The newly installed windows improved the whole lighting quality inside the library and helped in keeping the whole satellite library maintain a vibe that is just right for readers and library patrons.  Reading Area At CED Library While the old windows were being replaced, the CED Library interior arrangement was also changed to improve the monitoring of the library (e.g. User statistics and book charging/discharging) and library materials accessibility. Library users can now conveniently bring books from the shelves to the reading area without having to use their borrower’s card. Plus, the space provided for the reading area is a lot wider than that of the old arrangement.  The On...

College of Education Renovation Report

By Anonymous
On May 15, 2017, the College of Education Library opens its door to library patrons with its new arrangement. The circulation desk is now strategically situated near the entrance right in front of the online user registration system, Library Usage Log. Before, the circulation desk was situated in the center of the library right after the reading area. The problem that this arrangement imposes is that students who come inside the library most of the time disregard the Library Usage Log. This results in inaccurate library statistics of library usage every day which will then reflect to the satellite library’s report on library users.   CED Library Reading Area before the renovation Also, students are not properly monitored in the old arrangement. Most of them bring in food and drinks which are prohibited to avoid pests and insects inhabiting the library. This problem also adds inconvenience to the library staff and the scheduled cleaners because most students leave their ...
