INTRODUCTION

A resource centre with an up-to-date and specialized collection is an absolute necessity for any research institute like IKMAS. Bearing this in mind, IKMAS has set up a resource centre soon after its inauguration in order to collect reference materials

(particularly state of the art, and current ones) concerning Malaysian and International Studies within the framework of globalization, occidentalism and social transformation.

The Ishak Shari Resourse Centre is located in one of the wings in the IKMAS premises. It is equipped with various facilities to enable students to take advantage of the centre’s collections for their research.
