LIBRARY COLLECTIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONS
The Library collections include books, theses, periodicals, archival documents, and special collections on Gender and Development.
These are divided into two categories, one is the General Collections which consist of library materials on Non-CSC thrusts
(philosophy, sociology, computer, literature and languages). The other one, is the Civil Service Collections which are on CSC-thrusts
(personnel management, human resource development and training, labor management, public service and media relations).
At present, the Library uses two classification systems. The Dewey Decimal Classification (DCC) System which is used to organize non-CSC
books, and the devised Civil Service Book Collection (CSBC) system for organization of books on CSC-thrusts. The said classification
system include subject matters on Administrative and Quasi-Judicial Administration, Personnel Relations, Public Service and Media Relations,
