To cater the growing needs of the increasing NC’nian populace, the Northeastern College Library has ventured into updating its services effective this first semester of S.Y. 2008-2009.

The library has created its strategic plan in retooling its services vis-à-vis high standards, subscribing to innovations to give the students quality materials and library functions.

Such services are the reengineered cataloging and abstracting of library papers, accessible and speedier Internet browsing and the acquisition of the updated editions of books and other reading materials.

The month of July had seen the acquisition of 523 books with varied titles for the Criminology, Education, Geodetic Engineering, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Commerce, Nursing, Information Technology and Accountancy. In addition, there were also 4 national yearbooks, 2 almanacs and 1 Guinness book of world records, 2008 edition purchased.

Hard work has paid off for the five NCnians after passing the recent Certified Public Accountant’s Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) sometime lat October, 2008.

Gilbert Pelayo, Dexter Gapusan, Marjocris Aquino, Christina Laylay and Alexis Bermisa are the newly registered certified public accountants. NC registered a 24 percent passing rate. In an interview with The Intelligencer, Gapusan expressed, “My education at NC has prepared me to take and pass the exam. The examination was really tough plus the fact that there were so many of us who took it.” Gapusan, along with Aquino were first time takers.
