This study aimed to provide valuable insights into the CSPC library for developing and enhancing its multilingual resources to satisfy the needs of students studying foreign language courses. Using a descriptive-comparative method, the study sought to understand the students' common uses, identify the students' challenges experienced in utilizing multilingual resources, and analyze the significance of differences between the students' common uses of multilingual resources and respondents' profiles. A survey questionnaire was developed, and using Slovin's formula through a random sampling technique, 280 students were selected as respondents from the BSTM, BSHM, AB English, and BLIS programs. Researchers investigate the differences in the students' common uses of multilingual resources and respondents' profiles by age, gender, year level, and program, with findings highlighting that the most frequent users were women, aged 21-23, third-year foreign language students from the Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies (AB English). Results showed that cultural exploration is the most 'frequently used' aspect of multilingual resources, with age, gender, year level, and program significantly influencing its usage, while the challenges encountered, the availability of resources were found to be 'highly challenging'. Based on these findings, the researchers proposed a collection development plan to guide the CSPC library and librarians in enhancing their multilingual resources. This plan was designed to improve the serviceability of multilingual resources and offer foreign language users, specifically students. Moreover, librarians will enhance their ability to address students' issues and provide excellent services that can be integrated into the CSPC library's collection management system.
