The Parliamentarians Resource Center (PRC) was established in 2005 to provide resources and services to support Pakistani parliamentarians. It is located in the Parliament Lodges and staffed by professionals with library science and other relevant backgrounds. Services include access to electronic resources, document delivery, newspapers and periodicals, meeting space, computer and language training. In 2007-2008, the PRC expanded its hours, increased outreach and marketing, conducted a user survey, and saw an increase in visitors, especially around the budget period. The PRC now coordinates with libraries in provincial assemblies through a working group to share resources and solutions.
