Greetings to the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. as you and all Filipino bibliophiles celebrate the Library and Information Services Month! I likewise wish to commend you for conducting the PLAI National Congress 2016 on November 22 to 25, 2016. Libraries are special places of knowledge and learning for all book-loving Filipinos. The warm and accommodating atmosphere of libraries and the encouraging personalities of librarians maintain the relevance of libraries even in the face of competition from the Internet. I support your goal to innovate as espoused by your theme, “Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape,” as libraries still serve as venues for personal, intellectual, cultural, and social development even in this digital age. By continuing to maintain our libraries, you help build a Philippine society which is JUST and FAIR, which SAVES and SHARES, which is SCIENTIFIC and OBJECTIVE, which is PEACEFUL and DEMOCRATIC, which is EDUCATED and HEALTHY, and which is, most of all, HAPPY and FREE, with overflowing LOVE OF GOD and COUNTRY.

Warmest greetings to all participants and presenters at this year’s Philippine Librarians Association Inc. (PLAI) National Congress! I commend PLAI for spearheading this event that facilitates transformation in library services and information management. Our schools, universities, museums, and public libraries nationwide are a treasure trove of books, journals, maps, and other resources that serve to enrich our knowledge. Yet in the age of the Internet, the democratization in creating and disseminating information has altered the role of libraries worldwide. Today, your information management skills are more crucial as we deal with the abundance of information readily available to us. It is our challenge to bring our library services into the future in partnership with our educators and promote our country’s intellectual and cultural development. As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education, Arts, and Culture, I am confident that through efforts such as these, we can foster the opportunities of the information age and deliver excellent educational opportunities to every Filipino.
In the spirit of building the nation,
BAM AQUINO Senator Chairman, Committee on Education, Arts, and Culture

My warmest greetings to the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI) and its partner organizations as you celebrate Library and Information Services Month. I salute the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) through the National Committee on Libraries and Information Services (NCLIS) and the National Library of the Philippines (NLP) for working with PLAI in holding this year’s events. This year’s theme, “Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape,” shows the important role of libraries and librarians in promoting and preserving the artistic, intellectual and cultural wealth of our people. Our librarians are the reliable guides, preservers and curators of the vast amounts of information and knowledge people continue to access today so that these materials add value to our lives. I commend your slated activities intended to increase the accessibility of different kinds of reading materials for the Filipino youth and serve as a venue for the exchange of ideas, information, and best practices among educators, authors, writers, publishers and readers. May we all remain committed in continuing to emphasize the crucial role of knowledge and literature in nation-building, as we forge ahead together as partners in making change happen for the enlightenment, safety and honor of our nation. On behalf of the House of Representatives, I wish you a successful celebration. Mabuhay!

The City Government of Davao congratulates the officers and members of the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI) on the occasion of its 2016 Annual National Congress, with the theme, “Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape”. Technology has transformed the way people learn. Today, most people rely on the internet to access information with speed and convenience. As the bastion of knowledge, libraries must keep pace with the advancements in technology to provide people with the data and information they need in these modern times. With this year’s congress, I hope that you, as librarians and information services specialists of the country, will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to transform your respective libraries and information centers into sanctuaries for learning and venues for personal, intellectual and socio-cultural development. May you maximize technology in order to manage and preserve the documents that are being housed in your centers, and encourage more Filipinos, especially the youth, to enrich their lives by reading. Congratulations and more power to the Philippine Librarians Association!

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is one with the National Library of the Philippines (NLP) and the Philippine Librarians Association Inc. (PLAI) in celebrating November as Library and Information Services Month by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 837 (s. 1991). In providing a conducive environment for acquiring and sharing of knowledge, libraries serve as sanctuaries of human wisdom, culture, and civilization. Since 1991, the library and information scene has undergone transformations that enable libraries all over the country to serve our people more effectively. Our libraries face many unique challenges today because of the advert of the internet and the cyber era. The speed of technological advancement and the avalanche of information continue to reshape the landscape of libraries, thus the need to empower the sector for optimal management and dissemination of knowledge and information. With the vision “Filipino culture as the wellspring of national and global well-being”, NCCA sends its warmest felicitations and unstinting support for the individuals and institutions who are one with PLAI and the NLP in developing our libraries as generators of knowledge for our people’s welfare and continuous education. Maraming salamat. Mabuhay ang mga aklatan at bibliyoteka ng Filipino!

Warmest greetings to the Philippine Librarians Association Incorporated (PLAI) as it celebrates Library Information Services Month, November 2016 and holds the annual conference in Davao City, November 22-25, 2016 with the Theme "Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape." PLAI through the years has consistently spearheaded conferences, fora and focus group discussions on significant topics and concerns that bear good impact and importance to librarianship in the country. The chosen theme for 2016 is equally of current and vital value to the profession. It looks at the LIBRARY and the information professionals interacting with the new information landscape that needs newer competencies to be learned. In the light of these exciting challenges, the National Committee of Library and Information Services of NCCA is happy and proud to once again support this engagement with PLAI. All the best!

On behalf of the staff of the National Library of the Philippines (NLP), it is with great pleasure and honor to greet with felicitations the librarians, libraries and other stakeholders of the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI) who are in the forefront of making the PLAI National Congress and the Library and Information Services (LIS) Month a success every year. The NLP is always striving to become the spearhead organization in promoting library and information services, not only in the country but in other parts of the world as well. In line with this year’s theme “Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape”, there is a large need for libraries to become communal places of information for everyone—in particular public libraries which are open to all. Libraries are no longer seen just as a place to borrow books for their information needs, but also as a place for people to gather to learn about new things. They are no longer limited to read the print materials we offer but also have the option to access information through e-resources and the internet. As such, we have the responsibility to examine our libraries and learn how we can improve our facilities, create new programs, develop our collections and upgrade our services to transition into the new information landscape. We commend PLAI for recognizing the role of libraries as agents of development by implementing formal, informal and lifelong learning programs to promote personal, intellectual, cultural, and social development. As we have said last year and continue to say every year henceforth, let us call to mind the importance of every year’s theme into implementation and realization in our own institutions. Each one of us contributes to the upliftment of our cherished profession. God Bless Us All!

The occasion of the Library and Information Services Month is a very significant event for our dear library and information science professionals. Yearly, we strive to reinforce the very basic foundation of our existence, that is service beyond excellence and giving more than what is required from among all of us, librarians. Indeed, our role has been and will always be enshrined not only in the field of formal school education but more importantly in the aspect of real life education. Year after year, our professional line is faced with varying challenges. Among others, the advent of technology is an integral factor that affected the significance of our existence. Allow me to laud the worthy librarians for being resilient and for always being able to manifest their grace under the trying times not only of their career but the entire professional organization in general. I take full recognition of the librarians’ ability to hurdle the challenges of time. This year’s theme, “Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape”, is an inspiration for us librarians to capitalize on. We have evolved! We were able to manage the risk of modernization to work to our advantage and ultimately to the greater good of the clients we are servicing. This is a manifestation that we have grown for the better and that we have perfected the art of adaptation, and to convert every concern to an opportunity. All these and more are the reasons why we have to celebrate! My most sincere congratulations to everyone for always making a difference and for uplifting the standards of our most precious profession. Magandang buhay po para sa lahat!

Mabuhay! The International Federation of Library Association (IFLA), recognizes the Library as “the only place in many communities where people can access information that will help improve their education, develop new skills, find jobs, build businesses, make informed agricultural and health decisions, or gain insights into environmental issues.” The library had always played a unique role in providing access to information in all formats and planned for services and programs that meet the information needs in this changing and complex society. The theme of this year’s Congress “Libraries as a third place” delves into the changing information landscape and looking at the needs of the users as the driving force to re-think and re -design the library’s roles, functions and services beyond the traditional means as libraries now are regarded as part of a hub of networked learning spaces within the campus or in a community. Participants to this year’s Conference will be given the opportunity to explore the concept of “Library as a Place” and the different strategies needed to transform libraries as a “Third Place”. It is also aimed at giving recognition of the role of libraries as agents of development by implementing formal, informal and lifelong learning programs in libraries. There will be presentations and discussions on how libraries can improve their facilities, create new programs, develop collections and upgrade their services to meet the changing information needs of a multi-sectoral society and how identify strategies on how libraries can work effectively with different stakeholders of society to develop, deliver, and sustain programs, services, and access to accurate and verifiable information. On behalf of the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc., I convey my sincerest gratitude to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, through the National Committee for Libraries and Information Services (NCCA-NCLIS) for the funds that help in the implementation of the various programs and activities in celebration of the LIS Month, and to the National Library of the Philippines, for continuing to partner and collaborate with PLAI in many of its most significant endeavors.

This year’s congress theme is “Library as a Place: Continual Learning in the New Information Landscape”. We, Filipino librarians should re-examine our role and the value of libraries as a “third place” in the lifelong learning of our existing and potential users especially in the current information landscape. As we continue to create spaces, initiate programs and develop collections, may we realize that some of our tasks and services may need also to evolve , adapt and transform. This year, the committee increased the number of papers accepted for oral and poster presentations and created more parallel sessions. The aim is to encourage and boost the morale of Filipino librarians, information professionals and LIS students to conduct research, write scientific paper and present at a conference. We have selected some significant proposals and invited more resource speakers to cover all subthemes. I would like to reiterate my personal aim for the PLAI National Congress to be filled with research-based and forward-thinking sessions. The congress should be a venue where Filipino librarians can reap new ideas and latest trends affecting the profession. The congress should be a venue to discuss issues and trends involving our profession. Please take time to roam around and engage in discussions with PLAI officers, presenters, speakers, participants and exhibitors. I hope that whatever insights you have gained will be applied in practice and will also encourage you to conduct researches. I desire that each one of us will participate in the development of the future of the Philippine librarianship as we realize the value of the library as a place. I am indebted to PLAI NBOT, PLAI Davao Region officers and working committees, NCCA, NLP, to all exhibitors/sponsors, and to all of you - participants, for supporting the PLAI and the congress. May you always find attending the PLAI Congress a valuable experience.

DOES THE LIBRARY AS A PLACE MATTER?: USING LIBQUAL+® TO MEASURE COLLEGE STUDENTS’ EXPECTATIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE PHYSICAL LIBRARY
Annabelle P. Acedera*, Melody A. Retazo Lourdes College, Cagayan de Oro City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
The study aims to determine the expectations and perceptions of college students in today’s libraries as physical spaces to go to for various reasons. The LibQUAL+® methodology was used. Respondents of the study were 728 college students enrolled in 8 colleges and universities in Northern Mindanao during the first semester of academic year 2014-2015. The students were asked to rate the five statements in the Library as Place dimension: 1) comfortable and inviting location; 2) library space that inspires study and learning; 3) a getaway for study, learning or research; 4) space for group learning and group study; 5) quiet space for individual activities. Results show that all of the students value the library physical environment and they expect, want and actually perceive the library as a getaway for study, learning or research. However, the students want more from their libraries, especially on quiet space for individual activities and space for group learning and group study.

EXPLORING THE CONCEPT OF LIBRARY AS A PLACE IN A UNIVERSITY CONTEXT
Alicia C. Esguerra Bulacan State University, City of Malolos, Bulacan E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
The library continues to play a significant role in learning, research, instruction and academic life of students in higher education institutions. Although the library evolves to meet the needs of Generation Z who are characterized as tech-savvy and born digital, the inevitable issue is how could the traditional print- oriented libraries adapt to meet the information needs of modern library users? How can the library be in sync with modern times with the onslaught of the World Wide Web and other technologies that could pose as threats to the continuous existence and relevance of libraries? This paper aims to define the concept of library as a place and describe the characteristics of a ‘third place’ as the new embodiment of a modern academic library. A survey was conducted to determine how university students perceive, utilize and value the academic library. Findings serve as bases for recommendation on the design of a library space that is responsive to the actual needs of the Generation Z customers.

GREENING LIBRARIES
Sharon Maria S. Esposo-Betan*, Mary Ruth O. Rasco, Patricia B. Samson College of Engineering Libraries, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
Aside from being centers of knowledge and resources, libraries have long performed their representation of continuous support to sustainability by developing, implementing, and embracing various practices that promote ecological responsibility among library communities. The University of the Philippines - College of Engineering (UP COE) Library recognizes the importance of involving libraries in building a green future. In line with this, part of the campaign is its initiative to contribute to the greening of libraries. This paper aims to present the UP COE Library’s experiences in implementing environmentally supportive and sustainable practices within the library, as part of its commitment to further widening its reach by promoting user responsibility through its advocacies. With this initiative, the UP COE Library aims to inspire and encourage library and information professionals to take part in developing and implementing practices and initiatives to support the greening of libraries within and beyond their communities. Through this, the UP COE Library believes that librarians and information specialists could further re-conceptualize their roles as social icons of sustainability which could necessitate and influence stronger engagement within communities.

STATUS OF INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) IN PHILIPPINE ACADEMIC LIBRARIES
Neil Mark Enriquez, Sonia Pascua* School of Library and Information Studies, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
The adoption of technology in education in third world countries creates a positive effect on their economies, establishing greater collaboration. Citizens are empowered as they gain knowledge and access to these technologies. Philippines for instance is slowly making its way in adapting Internet of things (IOT). In the recent concluded Internet of Things Summit, IOT has established its ground in the country as companies like IOT Philippines emerged as an early adapter. However in the academe, as universities embrace innovation, challenges are faced. Infrastructure and some systems are not yet ready to accept IOT and have yet to be exposed on the possibilities of the pervasive technology. Funding is one of the main problems facing libraries in implementing new technologies. Academic libraries from well-funded universities are likely the first to adapt to these technologies. The University of the Philippines – Main Library, has recently implemented RFID technologies in the Filipiniana Section. It took a year to implement due to unforeseen problems. It will take a good partnership and collaboration between public institutions and private corporations to integrate IOT. Lack of development policies from the government has made it difficult for the seamless penetration of IOT. There is no existing policy to support the development of any kind for IOT. The Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities is one of the authorities that implements standards, however there is still no specific clause for the inclusion and integration of new technologies like IOT. The status of the IOT in the Philippines is influenced by many factors, but we have to push its integration in libraries to support the education of students. IOT has made its way in the Philippines, however young the possibilities of development and improvement are so great that it will not only change the course of librarianship and libraries around the country but also the way we present ideas and collaboration.

ENGAGING LIBRARIES AND INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS WITH THE HEALTH AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS OF THE FILIPINO
Briccio M. Merced, Jr. University of the Philippines Mindanao, Davao City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]
Abstract
The Filipino is far from pinkish in the 21st century. Genetics, lifestyle, and diseases resulting from environmental exploitation such as dengue, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular, and the alarming rise of HIV-AIDS, have painted a not-so-rosy Filipino in this age and clime based on data from the country’s Department of Health. While the government is doing its part in this area, libraries and information professionals can contribute their share by utilizing community engagement principles and practices to mitigate the adverse effects of
diseases and illnesses. There are several models and frameworks for the practice of community engagement. Among these are the social ecological model of health, the active community engagement continuum, and the community-based participatory research. Given the role of information managers, libraries and information professionals can engage liberally, moderately, or conservatively with the health and medical conditions of the Filipino.

FACILITY DEVELOPMENT IN LIBRARY FOR MILLENNIAL LEARNERS
Isidro C. Padpad WebCode I.T. Solution (WITS) E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
Millennial learners have varying degrees of learning style preferences and approaches. Study and group discussions are done in areas or facilities with cozy ambiance, with free WIFI, and good food such as coffee shops. This places have a homey feel, more relax, wherein guests can discuss freely without any reservations. Library users’ behaviors are changing but our library facilities remain the same. With the advent of technology, more users prefer not to visit the library and capitalize online library resource that they can access remotely. This results to the decrease in number of library visitors. To entice, improve and strengthen the interest of our library patrons, the need to improve library facility becomes urgent and reasonable. It’s about time that the focus shifts from not only improving library collection but also to “modernize” library facilities and physical environment. This response to adopt to the changes of the time is highly commendable to all academic institutions. This presentation will discuss on how to develop library facilities starting from evaluation to implementation, to re-engineering the current set-up and maximizing the space without deviating from the library standards.

BEYOND BORDERS: THE STORIES WE TELL
Darrel Manuel Marco B&M Global Services Manila E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
Once upon a time, there were librarians who wanted to help make a change. They wanted to combat illiteracy and satiate the hunger for learning. They are literature junkies, art lovers and storytellers, who wanted to go beyond the classroom and reach out to the less fortunate. Stories are powerful. They stir our imagination and conjure magic. As library and information professionals, we are not simply custodians of information but gatekeepers and disseminators as well. And the best way to disseminate information is to tell stories -- stories of inspiration, of love, of hope. In this parallel session, listen as librarians tell stories of stories - - storytelling skills and techniques, our storytelling journey and how we try to help our country thru storytelling and literacy activities, one chapter at a time.

CLASSIFICATION AND INDEXING OF PHILIPPINE INDIGENOUS MATERIALS WITH EMPHASIS ON THE CORDILLERA
Cristina B. Villanueva University of the Philippines Baguio E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
This paper looks into the limitations of the Library of Congress Subject Headings in assigning subject access terms for indigenous Cordillera materials acquired by the University of the Philippines Baguio Cordillera Studies Collection Library. Likewise, problems in using the Library of Congress Classification scheme in assigning classification numbers are briefly discussed. As cases in point, many of indigenous Cordillera terms that have no equivalent in the LCSH are described. Aside from terms with no American or English language equivalent, issues on spelling variations and varying forms of names are examined. These problems result to low findability and use of Cordillera materials. To solve the problem, a few measures using the iLib online cataloging system are presented. Finally, the paper enumerates recommendations that should be pursued to improve assignment of subject access terms for indigenous Cordillera materials.
Keywords: Cordillera indigenous materials: classification; indexing; Library of Congress Subject Headings; Library of Congress Classification; subject access terms

EXPANDING THE REACH OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION RESOURCES TO PHILIPPINE COMMUNITIES
Nelia R. Balagapo*, Rothman T. Lim Economic and Financial Learning Center, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Manila E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
The Economic and Financial Learning Center (EFLC) is the key entity within Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) mandated to provide information resources and services that will enhance the public’s understanding of basic economic and financial concepts. EFLC’s latest initiative, BSP Knowledge Resource Network, aims to make information resources easily available and accessible to the local communities nationwide. Specifically, the Network aims to: 1) establish a facility for information and knowledge sharing, which is one of the key elements supporting the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (NSFI); and 2) make BSP’s information materials easily available to a wide and diverse audience in the municipalities and provinces to support the economic and financial learning objective of the BSP and promote greater transparency in BSP operations. The program involves establishing partnerships with government agencies and private academic libraries for wider dissemination of economic and financial information materials. This entails setting up of BSP Corners in Network member-libraries to house the print publication of the BSP, linking the BSP’s website with Network library members’ portals for online publications and references, and assisting Network library members with reference and research inquiries regarding economic and financial information. Targeted Network members for 2016-18 are 285 libraries from all over the country, including those administered by national agencies, local governments, and state/private universities and colleges.

THE LIBRARY AND THE LIBRARIAN’S PRESENCE IN THE INFORMATION SEEKING AND UTILIZATION BEHAVIOR OF LIBRARY STUDENT-USERS AT UPLB
Mary Ann M. Ingua University of the Philippines Los Banos Main Library, College, Laguna E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
The resultant model proposed in this study was anchored from the theoretical models of Kulthau and Wilson on information-seeking process along with the key findings of the study. It implies that the library student-users in their goal to do well in class and satisfy their academic requirements indeed undergone different processes of information-seeking. To meet such need, the users should be able to recognize their goal or purpose on why they need to search for information. They should also be able to realize the importance of having a working knowledge of information sources, and learn how to navigate and use these resources as well as the ICT infrastructure. The resultant model highlights the different information- seeking process and utilization behavior of the users. The model describes the process of information-seeking and utilization behavior that confirms Kulthau and Wilson’s Information Seeking Process (ISP) that it is a series of thoughts, feelings, and actions in solving a particular task, need or purpose. In this study, the users were challenged to do a particular task that needs actions and guided by the thought of accomplishing the particular goal. The model reveals eight cyclical processes in information-seeking behaviors. In addition to the information-seeking processes involved, an “intervening variable” is identified that affects the information-seeking behavior of users to accomplish the assigned task. The study is also supported by the systems theory that focuses on the arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements, which connect them into a whole. Thus, the searching process in this study is part of a particular system and interacts with each other.

FROM LIBRARY TO LEARNING COMMONS
Cynthia L. Cordova*, Karen Cecille V. Natividad De La Salle University, Manila E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
This paper documented the transformation of the De La Salle University Library from being a traditional place for study to being a learning commons. It traced back the library’s effort to transform its old-fashioned learning spaces into a sophisticated, state-of-the-art venue for learning, collaboration, and socialization. It also traced back the development of its facilities, programs, services, collection, networks/linkages, and the re-skilling of its librarians and staff to meet the demands of its users in response to the changing user needs and expectations. A comprehensive review of documents, newsletters and blog posts was conducted to re-examine how the Library turned out to be the Learning Commons and one of the most preferred places in the campus, especially by the students, for study, leisure and other learning activities. This study will be useful not only for academic libraries but for all types of libraries for benchmarking and planning purposes.

Abstract
The library has been considered as an essential learning space in an academic institution. Aside from the classroom, the library is also regarded as a learning space. This study used a self-made questionnaire, Silliman University Library Space Evaluation Tool (SULibSET) to determine the various learning spaces needs of the 110 library customers during the summer 2015. Among the four library attributes, library customers regarded comfort and image and sociability as the most important. To achieve sociability, the respondents value dedicated spaces for individual study, quite zone and group work.

WHERE ARE THE AV RESOURCES? : BRINGING MULTIMEDIA SERVICES CLOSER TO USERS
Joseph M. Yap De La Salle University, Manila E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
Philippine academic libraries had to conform to various criteria set by educational accrediting agencies. Each agency may look for programs developed, budget, attendance, and performance of the library. More often, these agencies evaluate the print collection of the library. To date, they also highly consider the emerging importance of e-resources as part of the library collection. However, they only get little information and probably set different criteria when it comes to media services and audiovisual (AV) collection. The balance between print and non-print resources may have been left behind. Still, media services play an important role as a permanent unit of a library. It tries to be relevant and continuously provide user-centered services. It maintains to be current by providing the latest equipment and acquiring popular, instructional, educational and entertaining AV collection. This paper conveys that media services’ place in the library should not be taken for granted and that they consume a part of the libraries’ annual budget. This paper presents the acquisition performance and collection usage of DLSU’s Instructional Media Services (IMS) and how it was able to integrate some media services programs. It also shows how an academic library may develop and improve its services to upkeep its existence and value to the community. Consequently, this paper shares its best practices of cultivating and promoting media and information literacy by actively promoting its AV collection. Finally, the study determined the presence of an AV unit/collection of South Manila Educational Consortium (SMEC) member libraries and relates its associated aspects to the current set-up of IMS at DLSU.

Abstract
The concept of third place has been here for almost two decades. Libraries have tried to adopt this concept and focused more on how it applies to physical space. Library websites are often overlooked and under-utilized as a space. In the digital era, website serves as the online representation of the library. In this paper, the library website is recognized as an alternate environment where library services are utilized virtually in lieu of physical spaces. Through the use of a web analytics tool, the researchers will track the usage of the library website and determine the profile of the online library users. The profile would guide the researchers in better understanding the users’ digital footprint. Based on the data gathered, the researchers can help identify factors that can be used to further improve current processes, as well as recommend possible changes to the library website interface to better “facilitate” access to the resources and services of the library.

EMBRACING EBOOKS : ACQUISITION AND COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE IN PHILIPPINE ACADEMIC LIBRARIES
Janice D.C. Peñaflor*, Justina P. Garcia* De La Salle University, Manila E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
In the recent years, libraries are evidently expanding their embrace in adoption of ebooks. This may be attributed to the real and perceived advantages demonstrated by ebooks in terms of accessibility, functionality and cost effectiveness. Increasingly, ebooks form a growing part of the collections in academic libraries as a viable format to support the information needs of their patrons. Some libraries have adopted ebooks on a large scale while others are still tentative in their acquisitions. This study aims to examine the current status of collection build-up of ebooks in different academic libraries in Metro Manila. Specifically, it will look at the extent by which they collect and acquire ebooks as well as the issues being faced by the libraries in their efforts to build their ebook collection. This paper uses a survey method to determine the collection size, selection models, methods of acquisition, budget allocation, collection development policy and other related items. The results of the study provides an overview of the extent of ebook adoption among the academic libraries in the Philippines. It serves as basis for proposing possible solutions to common issues that confronts the libraries concerning integrating ebooks in the collection. Lastly, the findings may also serve as a benchmark for best practices for other libraries.

Briccio M. Merced, Jr.1*, Salome M. Enoc2* 1University of the Philippines Mindanao 2Davao City Public Library and Information Center, Davao City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
Aware of its role in promoting, protecting, and providing access to information on the history, rich culture and other vital information regarding the City, the Davao City Public Library and Information Center strives to develop its collection through aggressively collecting materials in print and non-print form. While continuous effort is being undertaken to acquire Dabawenana materials, it is equally of paramount importance that management and organization of its collection be undertaken to achieve maximum utilization of recorded information. The paper aims to present the usefulness and importance of a syndetic structure for Dabawenana subject and authority records for the benefit of both its local and foreign users. Authority files generate cross-references that promote used rather than the unused headings, direct users to related terms, enhance collocation, provide faster and accurate retrieval capability, and save much time to catalogers once the system becomes operational.

MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES AS LEARNING SPACES: SHOWCASING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LOCAL CULTURE
Christian George F. Acevedo Capiz State University, Roxas City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]
Abstract
Museums are more than auxiliaries to teaching, while libraries are more than places to borrow books. Libraries and museums now go beyond their antiquated image as repositories of printed materials and artifacts. Their role as a third place plays a crucial role in the appreciation, dissemination and preservation of indigenous cultures. As cultural heritage preservation is gaining ground in the Philippine consciousness, libraries and museums can have their share in steering the awareness of locals that local traditions are worth preserving for future generation. This paper aims to discuss the role of libraries and museums in the preservation and dissemination of Panay-Bukidnon and Ati cultures featuring successful programs and practices of selected libraries and museums in Panay that showcase the Indigenous Peoples (IP) heritage.

HURRY, SLOWLY: VALUING ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES IN PHILIPPINE LIBRARIES
Susan O. Pador1,2*, Nora J. Claravall1 1University of Santo Tomas, Manila 2Ateneo de Manila University Archives, Quezon City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
A cutting-edge environmental undertaking in libraries has been implemented in new library buildings such as the Rizal Library of the Ateneo de Manila with its rain water harvesting system while the University of Indonesia Library insulated by a grass-covered roof. These are fair examples of green compliant. In the United States, the buzz of building and maintaining green libraries has been going on beginning of the twentieth century. Meanwhile in Helsinki, Finland a Sustainable Development in Libraries Project in 2012 was made to come up with the current state of ecological sustainability in public libraries. Remarkable was the International Federation of Library Association (IFLA) during its 75th anniversary the declaration of its Statement on Libraries and Sustainable Development. With this development in sustainable environment as well as reduction in carbon emission, the researcher postulates that Philippine libraries has applied the “green compliant” principle to the various programs and practical operations in the library to achieve such ecological efficiency. With the use of questionnaire and interviews as the data collecting form, this research hopes to illustrate current situation and policies of libraries in environmental practice. Filipino librarians’ experiences of ecological tragedies in the country has transform them to a more environmentally responsible ways of day-to-day living at home and in the workplace. Hence, the study will further look at the increasing awareness of librarians themselves about environmental matters thereby provide possibilities and proposals for actions towards ecological sustainability.

WHO'S NEXT IN LINE?: SUCCESSION PLANNING PRACTICES IN ACADEMIC LIBRARIES
Rhea Rowena U. Apolinario1*, Marian Ramos-Eclevia2 1School of Library and Information Studies, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 2De La Salle University, Manila E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
As libraries continue to morph and evolve in their future of unlimited possibilities, they frequently undergo transitions in leadership that have an impact on service efficiency, organizational consistency, and alignment of priorities and strategies. Many Filipino librarians in the top-level management are now approaching retirement. Some librarians leave their organizations for greener pastures and better opportunities in other libraries. A few of them consider a change of career. These problems become complicated as there is a shortage of new licensed librarians, huge gap between top- level and mid-level management, and neglect of succession planning in the human resource development. Succession planning, as a tool for organizational development, is a useful technique for academic libraries. This paper examines the profile of current library managers in academic libraries in the Philippines, identifies their hiring practices, and investigates their current practices in succession planning. An online survey was administered to determine the extent of succession planning in terms of successor selection, identification of key positions and competencies and leadership development activities, and identify the gap between the perceived importance of succession planning and how well it is being practiced. The results of this study prescribe best practices of successful planning to prepare the next leaders into their future roles.

WHAT DO FACULTY USE? INVESTIGATING FACULTY RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY AND CITATION BEHAVIOR
Marian Ramos Eclevia1*, Rizalyn V. Janio2* 1De La Salle University, Manila 2University of the Philippines Diliman E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
Research productivity is one of the indicators for ranking higher educational institutions. Greater research productivity has a positive influence on student enrollment and faculty recruitment. Consequently, universities are offering a variety of programs that support faculty research and development. The same is true for academic libraries as they must provide evidence of their value to the university administration. Libraries are playing new important roles as partners to increase faculty scholarship and citation counts by making high impact articles available to faculty members and providing digital repositories for their scholarly publications. This study aims to investigate the research productivity of Engineering faculty; identify the references they used; and determine the availability of cited sources among the member libraries of the Consortium of Engineering Libraries-Philippines (CELPh). This study uses bibliometrics particularly the citation analysis and co-citation analysis to examine research productivity and analyze the intellectual or social linkages among authors and publications. Articles, conference papers and book chapters published in 2011-2015, and written by Engineering faculty of the Ateneo De Manila University, De La Salle University, University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, UP Los Baños, University of San Carlos, and University of Santo Tomas were extracted using the Web of Science and examined in terms of productivity by institutions, authorship and collaboration patterns, citing source titles, subject categories, and cited references. Works cited of each faculty publication were further extracted and analyzed using CiteSpace to visualize the co-citation network analysis of cited authors and publications. To determine the library ownership of cited works, the authors searched and matched cited references against the holdings of the libraries being studied. The results of this study can yield valuable insights on the citation behavior of Engineering faculty and the library impact on research productivity of academic institutions. This study would also help Engineering librarians to make data-driven collection development decisions.

Abstract
The University of the Philippines College of Engineering Digital Institutional Repository (UP COE DIR), developed in 2013 was established to serve the needs of the institution primarily its faculty members by providing them place where intellectual properties of members can be stored and preserved. UP COE DIR serves as a content management system where the work of faculty members can be accessed for future research assessment and other academic functions. It is web-based and developed by the librarians and the IT personnel of the UP COE Library. The conception of UP COE DIR began by establishing the description and objectives where policies and guidelines including the structure of the system have been based upon. Its feature include generation of statistics relating to number of papers submitted per author (faculty member), per department and number of the uploaded works whether journal article, conference proceedings, or book chapters. Moreover, to give the users information on the status of submission and content in the repository, new additions and most viewed articles are displayed on the home page of the repository As of May 2016, a total of 628 faculty works comprised of 189 journal articles, 367 conference proceedings, 9 book chapters and 63 colloquium papers are stored in the repository. Most of these were uploaded by the library staff. This paper shall discuss the library’s experience in development and implementation of its own institutional repository.

PAGES AND AROMA: LIBRARY AS A PLACE AND THE LIBRARY CAFÉ CONCEPT
John Christopherson L.T. Fredeluces1*, Roselle S. Maestro2* 1Lyceum of the Philippines University, Intramuros, Manila 2De La Salle University Libraries, Manila E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
With information now available at the users’ fingertips, academic libraries are competing not only with the internet but also with venues that can simultaneously serve both as a learning and as a relaxation space for their patrons. Academic libraries strive to become “the place to be”, “the great good place”, or “the third place” of their respective communities. While most of them have adopted innovative use of spaces such as collaborative learning zones, individual study areas, informal learning spaces, multimedia rooms, and function halls, only a few academic libraries in the Philippines ventured into integrating coffee shops to the redefined library experience. This study investigates the adoption of the library café concept by interviewing library directors and librarians in three academic libraries in Metro Manila. The study describes the establishment and management of these cafes. The study examines the factors affecting the use of the space such as location, ambience, food and drinks policy, etc. A survey on the library users’ perception and evaluation of the café at the library was conducted to gauge customer satisfaction and gather feedback from the community. Finally, the findings of this study offers recommendations for libraries who are planning to enhance the concept of the library as a place by providing a space for a coffee shop.

BOOKS IN BAGS: LIBRARY BEYOND BORDERS
Ma. Lorna A. Eguia1, Seachel Oyao Lopez2* 1Books in Bags, Cebu City 2Sacred Heart School – Hijas de Jesus, Cebu City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
Inspired by the IFLA WLIC 2013 in Singapore, Eguia together with her family, founded Books in Bags, a mobile library and family literacy program. It aims to arrest the absence or decline of reading habits among children by providing them activities that will arouse their interest and develop the love and habit of reading and learning. It acts upon the mission, “to love God and other” and its vision, “profession with a mission for nation transformation.” Having these in mind, Books in Bags provides various activities like storytelling, reading sessions, book talk, book picnic, paper arts and crafts, poetry reading and writing, goal setting, my summer story challenge, bibliotherapy and stress debriefing, daily vocation, Bible school, makerspace focusing on music, and more. Detailed templates are provided to aid easy and inexpensive replication by other librarians, costing less to nothing at all. Being a librarian isn’t confined to serving within the walls of the library. Community involvement is the key to extending the reach of the library. This paper aims to introduce and encourage librarians to do such. Ultimately, Books in Bags envision a new Filipino generation of leaders who are readers and life-long learners, for the glory of God.

LIBRARY SERVICES FOR THE POOR: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR LIBRARY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Aliza D. Racelis Virata School of Business, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
Inclusivity is a topic which is coming to the fore in many institutions, and libraries are no exception. The social responsibility debate shows up in various places in the literature on library services to poor people. The library's historically-based mandate has been to provide all of the members of society with the means to further themselves intellectually, to become educated enough that they could properly participate in the democratic process, be active members in a democratic society. There was much literature written on the topic of public library services for the poor in the 1960s and 1970s especially in the US. Unfortunately, there was a significant drop-off of interest in library services to poor people thereafter. According to a 1969 survey by the American Library Association (ALA), a proportionately quite small number of libraries were actually participating in programs for the disadvantaged. Among public institutions, the library has great potential for helping the poor and marginalized. For many, the library is their only source for information, entertainment, language skills, employment help, free computer use, and even safety and shelter. Of late, some studies have looked at accessibility through the lens of advocacy and the role of internal marketing in libraries to support, prepare, and inspire reference and user services staff to ignite the spirit of equity of access. Elsewhere, a study has presented three models of organizing library services for the homeless, as well as provides a better insight into the challenges of each model and into the ways of overcoming them. This paper briefly traces the history of library services for the poor both in the West and elsewhere, and attempts to formulate a preliminary theoretical framework for providing library (public or private) services to the disadvantaged, presenting some of the critical success factors.

COLLABORATION OF LIBRARIES, ARCHIVES, AND MUSEUMS IN THE PHILIPPINES ON CREATING AWARENESS ON THE FILIPINO CULTURAL HERITAGE
Ajeza M. Santos National Museum, Manila E-mail Addresses: [email protected], [email protected]
Abstract
The collaboration of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) can provide the utmost service on supporting the informational and education needs of the community. Based on the mission and goals of the libraries, archives, and museums, they shared a common goal – preservation of national cultural heritage. Libraries, archives, and museums as well are regarded as an information center and a cultural institution by which people believe as a reliable source of information.
The notion of culture in the Philippines is limited and is often inclined with arts. On the other hand, the notion of development in the Philippines is often inclined with financial aspects and income generating activities. It is important to create a realization that culture as well may contribute greatly to nation building. This paper aims to inform the great impact of culture on the economy and development, a reality that most of the policy makers and general public do not appreciate and consider. In the country, the National Library of the Philippines, National Archives of the Philippines, and National Museum conduct several cultural awareness programs that will reach out to the community by preserving and giving access to our country’s rich cultural heritage. The paper aims to present the roles, promotional activities, best practices of these institutions. It also aims to identify the areas, programs and initiatives wherein collaboration among libraries, archives, and museums is possible in the Philippine setting. The paper presents the deterring factors in the collaboration.

Sharon Maria S. Esposo-Betan, Mary Ruth O. Rasco*, Grace A. Garcia College of Engineering Library, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City E-mail Addresses: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
Abstract
Disaster planning is an essential component of the overall management plan for libraries and archives. In recognition of this need a pro-active rather than reactive approach to disaster preparation, the University of the Philippines College of Engineering (UP COE) Library in Diliman developed an action plan entitled, “Disaster Risk Reduction,
Response and Recovery Management Plan” in preparation for emergencies and disasters. The UP COE Library Disaster Management Plan (DMP) covers three (3) independent plans--risk reduction (prevention and preparedness), response, and recovery plans. The DMP is envisioned to provide policies, information and guidelines to assist all library stakeholders in understanding the threats and what to do in the event of a disaster. It consists of emergency procedures on natural disasters such as typhoon, flood, earthquake, and fire, outlining the procedures for the three phases of disaster- before, during and after. The paper discusses the actual experiences and actual measures conducted by the UP COE Library in coping with the major potential threats to the library, including the conduct of risk assessment and evaluation of the library’s vital collections and facilities in the preparation of a DMP.

Abstract
Library plays a vital role in developing one’s individual knowledge. Through the years, libraries continue to reinvent themselves to continuously adapt with the rapid changes and advances in technology to meet the demands of its stakeholders, the Millennials. Millennials are visually oriented, easily get bored with sequential tasks and has short attention spans. In response to their needs, libraries today should provide a welcoming common space that encourages exploration, creation, and collaboration. Millennials bring together the best of the physical and digital to create learning hubs. They are transforming their traditional environment into a technology-rich library space. This paper aims to recreate the synergy happening between the architect and librarian; to identify the specific roles of librarians in building, creating, and designing a technology-rich library spaces. Factors to be considered in building a library such as the culture of the university, environmental restrictions and opportunities, physical design, collections and facilities are justified. How the LPU library planned from a mere wish list to a grand blueprint; the proposal for the new building to expand the learning capacity of the LPU community to enhance competitiveness as stipulated in the library’s mission statement. With a constant and never ending improvement, LPU library continues to innovate its services and facilities to meet the demands of this technologically sophisticated and socially conscious generation.

Abstract
Gonzalez Hall has been the home of the Main Library of the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman for six and a half decades. For a period of time, the Lobby of Gonzalez Hall has undergone numerous changes brought about by the integration of information and communication technologies applicable in delivering library services. In 2014, the Lobby was opened to various events and functions due to the improvements in space and furnishings. A historical survey is undertaken to chronicle relevant milestones in Library Lobby space usage through time. A review of the use of the Lobby for the past two years is done to identify types of events, the organizations that utilized the space, and the facility requirements they used. The Lobby usage of UP students, faculty, staff and visitors on regular, no-event days is observed. Data from library staff, maintenance and security personnel assigned at the ground floor sections of Gonzalez Hall is taken to gather relevant information on Lobby usage. Letter requests are reviewed to determine their reasons in choosing the Lobby as a space for their activity. Plans and programs of The University Library are sought regarding the use of the Lobby as an events space. Problems encountered in the management and use of the Lobby as an activity center are discussed. Finally, best practices on facility management related to offering library lobbies as facilities for activities are recommended.

Abstract
The original Rizal Library building was inaugurated in 1967. Next year, 2017, it will be 50 years old. The new Rizal Library building was inaugurated in 2009, and reflects many of the changes that have taken place not only in the construction and management of library buildings, but also in the needs and expectations of library users, as well as in the education and training of librarians themselves. This presentation seeks to share the strategies that have been used in transforming the Rizal Library into a “Third Place”—specifically from
the point of view of the students and faculty who are its regular users— not only in relation to its various physical and online spaces, but also to the policies and procedures that have been implemented to ensure that the Rizal Library becomes an integral part of its stakeholders’ daily lives.

INTEGRATING VISUAL LITERACY EXPERIENCES IN THE LIBRARY: FOSTERING CONNECTIONS, COLLABORATIONS, AND ENGAGED LEARNING
Danilo M. Baylen University of West Georgia, USA E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
The 21st century library as an educational space is textually, visually and technologically rich with artifacts that support a diverse group of users, readers and researchers. Multiple users' skills or abilities are needed to successfully navigate the various materials and resources to meet one's specific information needs. Visual literacy (VL) is one of those "abilities that enable an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use and create images and visual media" to meet information needs. The Association of College & Research Libraries
(ACRL) stated that "a visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture." This session presentation will define, describe and discuss VL and its components. Further, the presentation will demonstrate how VL components can support and/or enhance selected library functions and services.

Abstract
The concept of third place is characterized to be a place where people can interact with each other outside their home and work places. It is a place where anyone can relax, do their activities aside from work, and express themselves freely. It is in this context that this study would like to explore the concept of third place to special libraries, particularly, government library. Many studies have been made about the concept of third place in the different types of
libraries, but no literature has been focused on a government library, particularly in the Philippines. The Foreign Service Institute is an attached agency under the Department of Foreign Affairs mandated to, in accordance to the Philippine Foreign Service Act of 1991, serve as the center for the development and professionalization of career corps through its academic, training, research, information, publications, systems development and other programs. To support this mandate, a library (Carlos P. Romulo Library) in the FSI was established. The objective of this poster is to look into government library as a third place, in particular the Foreign Service Institute’s Carlos P. Romulo Library. It presents the transformation of the library from the traditional library to a space that is more conducive for social activities, considered as a third place. It also looks into the implications of this transformation to the use of public funds and the activities and culture of its users. Lastly, it demonstrate the transformation in the context of the organizational culture of the workplace.

LEYTE LIBRARIANS LIVED EXPERIENCES WITH SUPER TYPHOON YOLANDA
Melanie Lyn Morales-Calope Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas Campus, Leyte E-mail Address: [email protected]
Abstract
The November 8, 2013 super typhoon Haiyan (locally named “Yolanda”) has greatly devastated the Eastern part of the Philippines. Victims find ways to move forward. Some victims cope with by releasing their emotions through story telling, which is their only weapon in that very minute. These untold stories will never be documented if nobody would make interest in gathering. A librarian must not only be concerned of the physical collection of the library, but must also include documenting, collecting and curating untold stories. The librarian’s function must be extended to the community especially during the onslaught of a disaster. Collecting untold stories of survival and experiences during disasters is seen as an important research area for the librarian profession. This study is a qualitative research basically focusing on the Discipline of Husserlian Phenomenology in gathering the data. It aims to determine the meaning of lived experiences of librarian-survivors from Leyte before, during and after the event of super typhoon Yolanda. Specifically, the study tries to derive relevant information on the initiatives and practices of university libraries in Leyte affected by super typhoon Yolanda. It takes into account the real-life stories of librarian-survivors amidst experiences in the event of super typhoon Yolanda. It also identifies disaster response initiatives of university libraries in emergency occurrences. The study recommends some disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies for possible adoption of other libraries.

Abstract
Library advocacies have proven to be an effective way to further develop the relationship between libraries and their communities. In line with this pursuit, the UP College of Engineering (UP COE) Library established an awareness campaign to help librarians and information professionals educate users on their responsible use of the library, its resources, and facilities. In 2008, the UP COE Library initiated the I Need. I Value. I Love My Library. campaign as part of its commitment to contribute to the development of library communities. It is now one of the most well-known advocacies being adopted by libraries all over the country and some libraries overseas. This paper intends to present the UP COE Library’s initiative to promote shared responsibility within library users in the care, upkeep, and maintenance of the library. Furthermore, this paper will describe the UP COE Library’s experiences in the implementation of the awareness campaign along with its history and development, identity, adopting library communities and institutions, and its impact to the library community. Through this initiative, the UP COE Library believes that with a proper implementation of such an advocacy, libraries could ensure the users’ participation not only to the realization of the campaign’s goals, but more importantly to the advancement of the library in achieving its mission and vision. The campaign also aims to inspire and motivate librarians all over the world, to enable them to show their love for their profession and institutions.

Abstract
The concept of greening is prevalent around the globe. Interestingly, some libraries have transformed their buildings into “green” buildings which save on their expenses and at the same time affect the environment. Modes of greening include the use of solar energy, solar orientation, hydroponics, green roof, day lighting, Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) luminaries and water catchment systems. This study explored the possibility of transforming the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Miguel de Benavides Library into a more environment-friendly building. Presidential Decree No. 1096, otherwise known as the National Building Code of the Philippines and other general designs and construction requirements were used as bases in the preparation of this proposal. The perceptions of respondent librarians and library users on greening the library were measured using convenient non-random sampling type of survey. Findings revealed that most of the respondents believe that greening is beneficial and that practices such as reducing and recycling materials are already being implemented at the library. The study concludes that aside from the growing concern among the respondent library users on importance of greening the library facilities, they are in agreement with the implementation of environment friendly measures for the library. The researchers made recommendations on how to make the library an energy-efficient building. A proposed structural plan was prepared. It concentrated on new lighting designs that use LED fixtures and energy efficient ceiling fans, which aims to lower the electricity consumption. The plan also included the use of plant boxes inside the building to achieve a cooler and greener environment.
