Institute of Biology Library

HISTORY

The setting up of the UP College of Science Satellite Libraries was initially conceived by then CS Dean Caesar Saloma during the start of the 3-year co terminus-term of cslib head librarian, Mrs. Actual setup of the physical satellite libraries, however, only took place starting April 2011 during the term of current CSLIB head librarian, Mrs. Marie Antoinette Villaflor. This was also time

ly since it was during this time when most of the CS Institutes’ have been given new buildings in the National Science Complex, thus spaces were allocated for the physical Satellite Libraries for each Institute. Deasis was assigned as the Librarian-In-Charge of the Satellite Libraries. The first to be set up was the NIP Library (National Institute of Physics) in April 2011. This was followed by the IM Library (Institute of Mathematics) in April 2012, the IC Library (Institute of Chemistry) in June 2012, and the NIMBB Library (National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology) in November 2012. Two more UP CS Satellite Libraries will soon be established and these are; 1) the IB Library (Institute of Biology), and; 2) the IESM Library (Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology).
