Management Resource Centre Mission Statement:

Aiming to provide all education staff in Northern Ireland with the resources to support corporate and personal management development.

What is the Management Resource Centre?

The Management Resource Centre (MRC) gives Province-wide support to all education staff by providing access to published paper and electronic resources. The business of the Regional Training Unit is offering high quality staff development, and the collection within the MRC supports this. The collection is management based: management processes and theories, and education management and theories. The MRC works in collaboration with the Teachers' Reference Libraries across the province.

Who can use the Management Resource Centre?

Anyone who is an associate or customer of RTU can use the services as described (within the laws of copyright). Using the MRC is a matter of signing a registration card, and providing some proof of identity (e.g. driving license or utility bill).

You can borrow three books for a period of three weeks at a time. After this period we ask that you contact us and renew the books - we are a small library and another customer may be waiting to use the books you have on loan.
