===== e-Resources =====

In addition to vast collection of printed materials, EnggLib provides access to electronic resources - books, journals, lecture notes, and more. Major stakeholders have access to a wealth of high quality online research materials from world renowned publishers like [[IEEE Xplore]], [[Taylor and Francis]], [[ScienceDirect]], [[Springer Publishing|Springer]], and [[John Wiley & Sons|Wiley]]. Moreover, there is a wide collection of technical and research engineering e-books such as CRCnetBASE with 4 subject collection covering CHEMLIBnetBASE, ENGnetBASE, ENVIROnetBASE, and ITKnowledgeBASE. There are also Engineering [[e-books]] inside the [[Gale Virtual Reference Library]], McGraw Hill Access Engineering and McGraw Hill eBook Library that gives users a wider choice of readings for their general engineering subjects and research.<ref name="AR2012 25">{{cite book}}</ref>
===== Collection Development =====

EnggLib actively works hand in hand with the Faculty Members through the '''Library Faculty Committee'''. The Library Faculty Committee in a way dictates the direction and composition of the EnggLib’s collection because Faculty Members decides on the allocation of funds in terms of print and electronic acquisition ratio.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|pages=14,31}}</ref>
Collection building is being aggressively promoted by conducting a bi-annual '''Engineering Book Fair''' so as to make selection easier for faculty members.<ref>{{cite web|title=News: Book Fair|url=http://www.engglib.upd.edu.ph/index.php/news/58-bookfair|work=UP College of Engineering Library Website|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The 5th EnggLib Academic Book Fair|url=http://blog.engglib.upd.edu.ph/?p=4814|work=Orange Network Blog|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=14 March 2014}}</ref> The use of '''[[electronic mailing lists]]'''  wherein lists of books for selection, which have been formatted to contain links to online descriptions, is also effective -- helping faculty members to simultaneously browse book titles, evaluate their content online, and send their purchase recommendations to the library in real time.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|page=14}}</ref>
Another notable partnership with faculty members is the '''Kapihan sa Aklatan'''.<ref>{{cite web|title=News: EnggLib Holds its 5th Kapihan sa Aklatan|url=http://www.engglib.upd.edu.ph/v1/index.php/news/52-engglib-holds-its-5th-kapihan-sa-aklatan|work=UP College of Engineering Library Website|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Kapihan sa Aklatan 2013|url=http://blog.engglib.upd.edu.ph/?p=9183|work=Orange Network Blog|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref>  It is an annual library orientation and forum to inform the new faculty members on the use of library resources, facilities, and collections, assist them to discover subject-specific and multidisciplinary electronic resources, and update them with the features of upcoming online resources of the library.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|pages=14,34}}</ref>
===== Local Collection =====

The local serials collection of EnggLib includes a collection of [[digitized]] Engineering, IT and Computer Science related news articles from three major newspaper titles -- [[Manila Bulletin]], [[Philippine Daily Inquirer]], and [[Philippine Star]] -- which are stored, made searchable, accessible and downloadable through '''eNewsprint''', a web application developed from an [[open-source]] software.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|pages=29,31–32}}</ref> EnggLib also plays an active role in collecting the intellectual output of the College in the form of undergraduate and graduate [[thesis]] and special problem, [[feasibility studies]], plant designs and other multimedia collection which are all stored, made searchable and readily accessible to researchers. In addition, an institutional repository known as the '''UP College of Engineering Digital Institutional Repository (UP COE DIR)''' was developed to provide a storehouse for the digital copies of published and unpublished journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters and presentations authored by COE faculty members, thereby helping stimulate more researches for the College of Engineering. It also has a built-in search and retrieval system in order to make the stored works easily searchable and accessible.<ref>{{cite book|title=UP College of Engineering Library Annual Report 2012|date=2013|publisher=UP College of Engineering Library|location=Diliman, Quezon City|pages=15,30}}</ref>
