The INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA CENTER (IMC) is also one of the repository of educational resources of the University aside from the Library. It is a centralized unit that serves the academic departments, service offices and the Abbey. The IMC collection includes audio visual materials and equipment that help enhance the teaching-learning process and make classroom instructions more interactive. The Center oversees the acquisition, circulation, management and maintenance of these multimedia resources. In addition, the IMC also provides technical assistance, audio and video, in the conduct of classroom and non-classroom instructional activities of the academic departments.

The IMC’s authorized users are the students, faculty members, administrators, non-academic personnel and Members of the Benedictine Community.  However, alumni, faculty and students of other learning institutions as well as review centers and government agencies/offices who want to avail of the resources, services and facilities of the institution are also entertained provided they are not in conflict with the school’s programs and activities.  The institution’s programs and activities are always given priority even if a reservation has already been granted.
