The DLSU Library : Ensures "every penny is well-spent"
DLSU Libraries is opening its doors to a new way of learning. (Library Tour)
Great job, De La Salle University Libraries!
I had the opportunity to visit the DLSU Library yesterday and was thoroughly impressed by its spaciousness and unique atmosphere. What struck me the most was the absence of overcrowding, which made for a comfortable and peaceful environment.
The serene ambiance and well-organized layout of the library contributed to a positive and focused vibe, making it an ideal place for academic pursuits. I truly appreciated the uncrowded spaces, as they allowed me to concentrate and maximize my productivity during my time there.

Librarians SALARY in the Philippines (Peso) 2023
There are numerous companies currently providing salaries that surpass standard compensation packages. However, the principles of supply and demand continue to affect the job market for librarians, and provincial pay rates remain in effect.

Good News : Increasing Demand for Librarians in the Philippines
Who said that Librarians do nothing?
According to the Dept.of Education, Standard for Philippine Libraries, signed last April 2010 stated that for every 500 students enrolled an equivalent of 1 licensed Librarian and 1 library support staff should be managing the Library.
Well in that case, organizations who are not following this policy should be actually ashamed and members of Philippine Librarians Association Inc. should be making a stand to strictly follow this standard set by the Government.
It's 2018 y'all and still most of the Schools are not yet fully giving importance to the power of having a Librarian as part of the workforce. Aside from assisting Teachers during library period, listed below are the benefits of hiring more than 1 a librarian in the School:
Librarians can ...
- Manage proper Book acquisition's Budgeting
- Specialized Library Activities
- Support Outreach
- Substitute Teachers
- Provide Advanced Library Orientation
- Support for School Activities and Projects
- Substitute Administrators
- Basic Research Assistant
- Liaising with departmental academic staff, external organisations and suppliers
- IT support
- Resource Speaker for Information Literacy topics
Private companies and Government organizations prefer to hire Library and Information Science graduates to work in back offices as document controller, information resource specialist, secretary, research assistant and even in monitoring statistical reports. Librarians can be very convenient in Office Works and Customer Service jobs.

I think nothing could be more important than making sure that everyone has access to the information that they need and that means a couple of things first. It means making sure that book banning and censorship attempts that we push against those and make sure they don't happen, but also Freedom requires resources, right? Or most free, when we have the resources that we need to. Is the information that we want. So I think any project that puts the library at the center of a community or an institution shows that you're invested in the Freedom of Information and it means we have to put a lot of resources into that institution so that we have the most information we possibly can have access to and that we have the people, the staff, The Librarians and Library staff that do the work of connecting people to that information. Freedom is a bigger concept. And just sort of imagining that everybody could access it, right? Freedom requires resources, and it requires Investments. And that's what I think is most important in our libraries today,

I think as more and more people gain access to information on the world wide web, we do need to
think in different and new ways about Library space and The crucial role that that space clays for all of
us in making sure. That the institution persists, I think in some ways, the space is the thing. That's the
most important. And we saw that during the pandemic, when people could not come into the library,
right? And that was a real barrier for people in terms of what they wanted to do. And I think it taught
all of us that the library is a more important institution now than ever before especially in terms of the
space, the indoor space that we provide.

| Tell us Emily (3/6): Collaboration and Partnership: Working Together To Advance Accessibility https://youtu.be/saKW5oI-HG4 In terms of what Publishers and Distributors around the world Need to know from our perspective, is that we are dealing with constraints. We don't always have access to the kinds of funds necessary to purchase materials. So we need our publishing Partners to recognize that and to work with us, both on providing low-cost materials, especially for those of us working in libraries that are under Source or in parts of the world that are under resource and also to be our allies in increasing resource budget and making sure that other stakeholders understand the value. That all of us provide |
It's also important when we're developing collections to think about the accessibility of what we
purchase. It isn't enough to just buy an information resource and put it online.
We also need to have ways that we also need to make sure that our materials can be accessed by the
people who need them. And that means thinking about people with problems reading print, people
with visual impairments or people who have difficulty hearing we need to understand the sort of
particular issues that some people struggle with as they're trying to access information. Because at the
end of the day, that's what we care about. We care about building and access to information for
everyone.
And that means being inclusive in our Collections and making sure that we're acquiring materials that
everyone can read.

We couldn't do this without print and non-print Distributors and Publishers. As Librarians, our job is to select an acquire, organized and prescribe and circulate and preserve information. But that information isn't something that we can do all on our own. And so, we're always working with Partners in the publishing industry. We're all in the same ecosystem together without our Publishers and Distributors. We would have a very difficult time talking to collection in ways that are meaningful for our community
In terms of those collections, it's really important to think about the value of both print and non-print materials. For me, I always think about who my user is first and the people who use our libraries, sometimes they have access to computers and reading devices and they can use their phones. But a lot of times they don't have those resources or they don't want to use them for particular kinds of reading and research. So, we have to develop print collections that can sustain services to those parts of our populations. Of course, we also, also know that many many people rely on their devices. I have three or four sitting around me right now and really prefer to read online and so we need a combination of the two. I also think it's important to think about cost of materials. My library in the United States, we often have to two books, we have an e-book copy and a print copy and thee-book copy will cost for 2 to 5 to even 10 times what the print copy cost. So, we're always building and collections mindful of budgets and that means acquiring print sometimes rather than electronic when that is what we can afford.
It costs a lot of money to purchase those materials but that is sort of what libraries do. And so I think of the librarian as being an advocate for the resources necessary to purchase the materials and infrastructures that we need to circulate are content. All of the pieces of the production of information, cycle of the knowledge and sort of information lifecycle. Every piece of that has people involved. Those people need to be compensated fairly for their work. We don't live in a world where any of that is free. So, it's important for organizations to plan for and purchase materials for their collections

Emily Drabinski : Mabuhay! and Hello from the United States. My name is Emily Drabinski, I'm a librarian at the City University of New York in New York City. And I'm also the incoming president of the American Library Association, it's my delight to share some thoughts

I think at least in the United States, we hear a lot about the library not being important because
everything is available online. But those of us who work in the information professions understand that
there needs to be a person who understands how information is produced, organized, acquired and
circulated, and the person who needs to use that information, so as we have more and more different
kinds of information, all the information that is produced on the internet
Librarians and other kinds of Information Specialists are more important than ever but it is important
to promote those Library services. And I think that's a thing that we meet often forget those of us who
work in the library. We're very clear about how important it is,
But sometimes, our users’ figure Google is enough. They can ask their friends on Facebook Messenger.
But we need to do work promoting our services So that people understand the value that we provide.
The best way to start is by understanding, really thoroughly what we have in our collection, the kinds
of human resources that we have, understanding our community and looking at ways that we meet the
needs of the people in our service area, and then choosing the programs that are most important to
those people, as the start of our promotion efforts.
