ABOUT US ABOUT US

Welcome to the official site of MARA Knowledge Centre (MKC), also known as Perpustakaan MARA. MKC is a unit under Creative Technology & Multimedia Division (Bahagian Teknologi Kreatif & Multimedia, BTKM).

MKC provides various services such as borrowing and returning books, and references like newspapers, books, magazines and gallery materials. Emerald Insight, an online database system, is also available for users' access to academic journals and books in the fields of management, business, education, library studies, health care and engineering. We also have red spot collections such as theses and annual reports in the Archive Centre. To date, we have 26,000 items in MKC.

 
MKC uses Integrated Library Management Utility (ILMU) as its management system. It records book details and borrower's information. It has been used in 35 MARA education institutions (Institusi Pendidikan MARA, IPMa) and MARA Knowledge Centre as a pilot project since 2004.
 
MKC is the choice of venue for various MARA corporate and knowledge sharing sessions due to its warm ambience and elegance.
