San Beda College has joined hands with the Asian Institute of Management - World Bank - Knowledge for Development Center and its sister school, St. Benedict College to form an extensive library for the students and faculty of both schools.
      The AIM-WB-KDC is a depository library that provides development-related publications of the World Bank and other world-class institutions and organizations.
      Initially, the World Bank provided 2,000 titles of publication and CDs and videotapes. Some 300 to 400 news titles are expected to be added each year. The KDC also provided computer terminals for access to online documents and reports of the WB. The Global JOLIS cataloguing system allows users to view the collection and to access selected documents of over 60 World Bank Public Information Centers around the World.
     Dr. Roberto F. de Ocampo, AIM president, signed the Memorandum of Agreement with Fr. Anscar J. Chupungco, OSB, Rector-President, and Fr. Francis B. Hubilla, OSB, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences. Witnesses to the signing were Dr. Felina C. Young, Dean, Graduate School of Business, Mrs. Gloria M.
