Library Resources and Policies

Orientation: Library personnel orient students and faculty at the start of each academic year. Orientation covers collections, rules, regulations, and available services.
Current Awareness: Bulletin boards display announcements, lists of newly acquired books, delinquent borrowers' information, and websites.
Library Users:
- Regular Users: Bonafide students, staff, and faculty of the CvSU Main Campus.
- Extended Users: Bonafide students, staff, faculty, and alumni of all CvSU campuses. These users require an ID, and library resources are for room use only.
- Visitors: Users not affiliated with CvSU, requiring referral letters from librarians or heads of departments where they are enrolled/employed.
Library Rules and Regulations - General Rules:
- Rule 1: Students must wear their valid ID and official uniform; exceptions are Wednesdays and Saturdays for students attending college activities (with a request letter from the Dean).
