Bagumbayan Campus Library

SKSU - Bagumbayan Campus Library History

The Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College was created in 1990 and started its operation on June 2, 1991 by virtue of an enabling Act, R.A. 6973. Along with the establishment of the college, came into existence the growth and development of the library.

The construction of Educational Learning Resource Center (ELRC) in the Administration Center and Central Educational Site and Services (ACCESS) was funded by the late Senator Raul S. Roco under the administration of the former president Dr. Nelson T. Binag. It was built on November 25, 1998 and inaugurated on April 8, 1999.

With the expansion of the university to other parts of Sultan Kudarat, the SKSU Bagumbayan was eventually established on June 14, 2005 by virtue of the Memurandum of agreement between the SKPSC represented by the former President Nelson T. Binag and the LGU-Bagumbayan represented by the Former Municipal Mayo, late Honorable Mayor Felipe T. Allaga.

In order to cater the needs of the students particularly on the learning process, the Campus utilized the old semi-concrete building as the learning resources center for the students. The library was then managed by the designated Library in-charge, Antonio G. Bibat, Jr. who at the time is one of the faculty assigned in Bagumbayan Campus.

As requirement for AACCUP Accreditation, library must be one of the areas to be improved hence, the University allocated/ appropriated certain amount for the enhancement of the library. In 2019, the enhanced library of the campus was fully operated.

Today, the two-storey Educational Learning Resource Center (ELRC) of Bagumbayan Campus is Managed by a Licensed Librarian, Miss Jessa Mae A. Masion, RL. together with the library staff Mrs. Myra Diaz, LPT. Significant improvement has been done like the construction of a dedicated room for the library, additional computer units, dedicated sections for research materials and others.

To continually support the university in achieving its goals & objectives, the campus library will stand on its goal to provide access to information in all formats in order to support the teaching, learning, research and personal growth of its clientele. With this, the library will be responsive to client’s needs, advance their careers with excellence and dignity in art, science and technology and make them become lifelong learners and more responsible citizens.

Semantic Scholar harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to efficiently sort through millions of science-related papers based on your search terms. According to the site, although some articles are behind paywalls, "the data [they] have for those articles is limited," so you can expect to receive mostly full-text results. Another feature is the extensive advanced search options, which allow you to search by cell type and brain region, among other things.
