Librarian Licensure Exams 2009 Update

Graduates 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.
