| History |
| |
| The UPPI Library was established in 1965 as part of the
UP Population Institute. The latter then became
connected with the College of Social Sciences and
Philosophy (CSSP) in 1982. |
| |
| The library was established in support to the
Institute's objectives: |
 training of
demographers; |
serving as
the focal academic institute in the dissemination
of knowledge in the field of population; and |
implementing a program of research in population and related
issues significant for development planning and policy
formulation purposes. |
| |
| Today, the UPPI Library still continues to serve
the students and researchers by providing information in
more efficient ways through modern technology. |
