LLE 2009
November 12, 2009The Librarian Licensure Exam is not as easy as you think. I tell you. Now for sure, after taking the boards, the profession of librarianship won’t be taken for granted by any librarian who took it and passed; and who took it and failed.
It was…
But there were many…
And I hope the next LLE would be…
I hope it will not…
I pray….

Kids Nowadays and the PBBY-Salanga Prize 2010
October 30, 2009
For the past months, I often have conversations on Facebook with my 5-year-old cousin and she amazes me that she is already very familiar with it. Children nowadays make up a portion of the said social network. What they enjoy on this site are farm ville, pet society, yo-ville and other games they can play, as well as the chat. One time I asked her to read a book instead of “facebook-ing”. But she answered, “Alam ko ng magbasa!” (I already now how to read!). School libraries and educational practitioners should engage children more to reading books and to other more productive educational activities like storytelling. And storytellings, book talks, etc. start with writing stories, poems and other kinds of literature. Once again, the Philippines Board on Books for Young People (PBBY) is now accepting entries for the 2010 PBBY Salanga Prize. Deadline of submission of entries is on November 26, 2009. For more information, please visit http://adarnahouse.wordpress.com/2010-pbby-salanga-prize.
A Little Insight About LIS
September 8, 2009First and foremost, library and information science (LIS) students do not memorize the location of the books and other materials in libraries; nor LIS professionals spend all their lives locating the books needed by the users. They are not your ordinary librarians whom you stereotype as strict, snobbish old maids who restrict the use of books. Just as the era becomes more and more modern and the world is bombarded with information, librarians’ roles change so as to adapt with the changing needs of the humankind in developing all areas of life. Accordingly, job titles of librarians vary depending on the roles they have in an institution. Librarians are also known as information specialists, information professionals, database administrator, multimedia facilitator, subject specialists and educational counselor (for academic libraries). Librarians promote reading and studying by promoting the use of libraries.
Librarians may acquire the power of recollecting the exact locations of library materials. Yet, one unseen thing in the whole world is the fact that librarians develop and follow standards (international or specialized) on how books, serials, multimedia and AV materials are catalogued. International standards used in cataloguing are Library of Congress Classification, Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR), Dewey Decimal Classification, Sear’s List, and Cutter numbers.
The School of Library and Information Science in the University of the Philippines Diliman is the first university that offered library science as a course in 1966. In 2002, the curriculum of the BLIS course was revised and four tracks in the course were included. These are health, law, Information technology, and archives and records management (ARM). Subjects in the ARM track concentrate on the management of records and preservation of records with enduring archival values. In the health track, students are familiarized with medical terms in medical and health libraries. In the law track, LIS students concentrate on legal practices that protect librarians and users of law libraries. IT track, on the other hand, concentrates on the development of databases and other programming subjects necessary on the automation of libraries.
The R. A. 9246 or the act modernizing the practice of librarianship in the Philippines, is the sole existing law in the country regarding the practice of librarianship, including the legal practices and scope of librarianship, creation of Philippine Regulatory Board for librarians, and the licensure examinations and registration.#
Librarian Licensure Exams 2009 Update
July 12, 2009Graduates of any course concentrating on library science (other than BLIS and MLIS) can no longer take the Librarian Licensure Examinations for November 2009. The request for “extending the period within which to allow graduates of the above mentioned degrees to take the examination” by the Philippine Board for Librarians has been denied. The five-year time frame that has been alloted for the aforementioned graduates to take the licensure exams upon the effectivity of RA 9246 has been expired. Any extention can only be done through amendment of the law and any amendment can only be done by the body that created the law.
Therefore, anyone who wants to be a licensed librarian can only take the licensure exam if s/he is a BLIS or MLIS graduate.
[edit] Also, retakers of the board exam are given last chance to take this exam on November.
In regard with this, the Librarian Licensure Examinations will be on November 10 - 11, 2009. Deadline of filing for the application for the Librarian Licensure Examinations will be on October 21.
The UP School of LIbrary and Information Studies Review Program starts on August 9 - October 25 (every Sunday) and October 18 -25(Intensive). For reservations and other info, please go to the UP SLIS Official website.

Update of a Fresh Graduate
April 28, 2009Update: Just finished spending four academic years in college. Done with exams, papers, reports, OJTs and thesis.
Still stuck with what to be and where to go. Trying to fit in the real world by applying job vacancies these past weeks. Anyone who wants to hire me? *grins* They say that year 2009 is a difficult year to start from because of the economic crisis around the world. But I’ll prove it’s not. I will have my job on or before June. Just like the other fresh graduates, I am also having difficulty in searching for an entry-level job. And we, graduates, though we are now in the real world should still think positive that everything will be under our control; that we will be able to achieve our dreams.
Graduating from a bachelor’s degree is just the start of every dream. I want to work, pass the librarian licensure exams, enroll in a masteral degree and second degree, i want to learn more, i want to travel, get my own car and house, etc. I have my plans in life budgeted in years. Make yours too! 
UP life trivia:
- My first choice campus and first UP campus is Baguio.
- I became a College Scholar in the 1st sem AY 0809, my last year in college.
- I rode the three trains of Metro Manila in one day during my thesis data gathering.
- Never tried cigarettes but learned to drink alcohols occassionally.
- I always used to take summer classes.
- Never had 5.0.
- I had one 4.0.
- I DRP NSTP because I got sick. >.<
- My first time to be confined in a hospital was during my 3rd year in college, confined at UP Infirmary for one week.
- I never had a picture with Oble.
LIS Congress: On a Personal Note
March 1, 2009
It was just a few minutes ago when all of it sank in to my system. After all the sweat, the heat, pollution, sleepless nights and disturbed sleeps, LIS Congress 2009 was successful and we made a history! It is the first LIS Congress in the Philippines and I am so damn proud of myself for being one of the three people (Marj and Von) who really planned and organized it. Being officers of the pioneer library and information science student organization, we gave it another milestone. I am still speechless and do not know what to say.
The preparation is one-of-a-kind experience I can never forget as I can never forget Marj and Von whom I worked with. We used to have endless YM conferences at nights and talked along drive ways as if we were beggars. There are so much stories to tell, but it would be more fun to recall them with Marj and Von.
The event was very ambitious. We started on nothing - no topics, no finances, no contacts. But with the dedication and will to contribute to the organization and to the LIS field in the Philippines, we pursued for it. Librarians and library science students should be given this kind of seminar so they can learn outside the classrooms and pages of the books and interact with their fellow librarians. Being the (future) information brokers of society, it is advantageous to share knowledge with each other. Librarians are no longer that stereotype unfriendly image. The event gave the participants ideas on the out-of-the-box issues and trends that cover the LIS field.
All I can say is thank you. To our speakers: Hon. VM Herbert Bautista, Atty. Vyva Victoria Aguirre, Ms. Zarah Grace Gagatiga, Ms. Emma Rey, Mr. Juned Sonido, Prof. Igor Cabbab, Prof. Edgardo Quiros, and Mrs. Elnora Conti, thank you! To our co-presentor and sponsors: UP Information Technology Training Center (UP ITTC), New Day Publishers, F&J de Jesus Inc., and Fast Books, thank you! And to all participants who joined the fun of learning LIS, thank you! We would also like to personally thank the UP SLIS Admin Office for letting us use the fax and phones. And of course, to our friends aka LISSA pips who were also on the event’s journey, for the patience, moral support, help, and talents. 
The sermon for the Sunday service lately fitted me well. It was about one life to live and leaving a legacy is one of the ways on how to live it spiritually. In my 20 years of existence on earth, so far, my biggest yet humble contribution is giving and inspiring my fellow students that we can also contribute to our field even we are still undergraduates. Of course we can’t do it without the miraculous strength God gave when we were already losing life on working for this event.
Just as Ma’am Conti said, “Good job! Ituloy niyo ‘to next year ha.” And I am looking forward to the next LIS Congress.
