Library
The LBTU Malnava College Library is an integral part of the educational process, providing an environment, printed materials, electronic resources, and international databases so that students can fully engage in both their studies and research. Periodicals in foreign languages are also available.
The librarian provides consultations on the use of information resources, helps users navigate databases, and offers support in selecting research sources and creating citations.
