More than a dozen Metro Manila newspapers are delivered to the library everyday. In addition, the PCIJ has a selection of provincial and community newspapers as well as regional publications and academic journals. The resource center has microfilm copies of the Bulletin Today (Manila Bulletin) from 1980-1986 and Philippine Daily Inquirer from 1986 to the present. The PCIJ library subscribes to the Ateneo periodicals index, a computerized index of articles from 238 newspapers, journals and magazines published in the Philippines and Asia. The index, which is in the Win ISIS format, is a handy reference for those researching on a particular issue or topic of current interest.

The PCIJ library also provides Internet access. In addition, it has hundreds of vertical files on topics ranging from overseas women workers to corruption and malnutrition. These files include registration papers and financial statements of over 300 Philippine companies and information on over 300 key personalities, ranging from Jose Almonte to Lucio Tan.

The library has other non-book materials such as videotapes, CD-ROMs, and an extensive collection of photographs dating back to the late 1980s.
