All bona fide students, alumni, administrators and other personnel currently employed in Colegio De San Lorenzo are allowed to access and utilize the Learning Resource Center’s collections and facilities. Outside researchers and visitors must present a referral letter from their institution’s Head Librarian before using the library’s resources and facilities.

Since the CDSL Learning Resource Center does not issue library cards anymore to its users, the users’ account must be checked regularly in the system by the LRC personnel to ensure up-to-date information and prevent possible issues regarding inactive users.

Resource Center Department. The following will however be observed at this time of the pandemic.
