Editing Engineering Library II (section)

===== Transitions =====

Printed collection of specific subject areas of engineering like [[industrial engineering]], [[civil engineering]], [[chemical engineering]], [[marine engineering]], [[naval architecture]] and [[environmental engineering]] beefed up EnggLib’s library resources in the 1970s. More partners generously assisted the library in many ways like book donations, financial assistance for serials subscriptions and replacements of library staff who either were transferred to other unit libraries or retired occurred.<ref>{{cite book|last=Lopez|first=Encarnacion|title=The History of U.P.

A greater turn of events happened in the 1990s, specifically in 1995 when the [[Department of Science and Technology (Philippines)|Department of Science and Technology]] - [[Engineering and Science Education Program]] (DOST-ESEP) Library Network was launched. This Library network was envisioned to build library resources and services in eight academic libraries and provide connectivity by means of the [[information highway]] in the [[Philippines]], the PHNet which was the country’s gateway to Internet then. Fortunately, EnggLib was one of the eight institutions comprising the network. Major agreement included a cooperative scheme of acquisitions and that all serials purchased under the DOST grant will be housed in the [[University of the Philippines Diliman]] Campus. Engineering materials and science materials will be housed in the EnggLib and College of Science Library respectively on condition that the two libraries commit to continue subscription to the selected journals beyond the project duration. This absolutely assured no duplication for serials even if these titles will be purchased using funds outside of the grant and therefore housed in respective libraries. Reference materials however were duplicated in each member library as needed.<ref>{{cite web|last=David|first=Lourdes|title=The DOST-ESEP Libraries: The First Library Network in the Philippines|url=http://www.iatul.org/doclibrary/public/Conf_Proceedings/1996/David.doc|work=17th IATUL Conference|publisher=International Association of Scientific and Technological University Libraries|accessdate=7 March 2014}}</ref> This not only expanded EnggLib’s resources, it also widened the reach and scope of its facilities and services.
