The Mona School of Business Documentation Centre was started in October 2001, and was located at the Main Library. It was then relocated to its present location, the new Alister McIntyre building (across from the Norman Manley Law School) in March 2002. The MSB documentation Centre is an academic and specialized information centre which supports the curriculum and provides our clientele with quality, authentic and current information.
