Reshaping Librarianship Seminar

2008-04-29T15:41:00.000-07:00

Quezon Librarians Association (QLA) held a seminar with the theme “Reshaping Librarianship” on January 11, 2008 at the Audio Visual Room of St. Anne College, Lucena City.

Dr. Rogelio B. Llave, Vice-President for Academic Affairs of St. Anne College gave a welcome remarks followed by an opening remarks by Mrs. Teresita DJ. Magbag, outgoing QLA President. Ms. Ivy Rose Y. Atienza, QLA Secretary introduced the 107 participants from private and public libraries in Quezon Province.

Ms. Jenalyn A. Pancho, QLA PRO introduced the first speaker, Ms. Venmar V. Ruanto, DepED Division of Quezon Education Supervisor I (English-Secondary) and Library Hub Coordinator. She discussed “Quezon Library Hub: Its importance and role to the community.” According to her, some students in high school do not know how to read due to lack of reading resources. She also emphasized that over 15% of Filipino students are illiterate and it was because some students have no reading habits and have insufficient reading resources. To address the problem, the Library Hub Project was established. A fruitful open forum followed.

The new set of officers took their oath before Mr. Marcial Batiancila, PLAI-STRLC Chair. The newly inducted officers were: Mrs. Rosario Villamater, president; Mrs. Aurora Navela, vice presidents; Ms. Ivy Rose Atienza, secretary; Mrs. Miled Ibias, treasurer; Ms. Eulalia Zapata, auditor; Ms. Jenalyn Pancho, P.R.O.; Ms. Manuelita Veranga and Mr. Panfilo Talisic, Council of Elders and Mrs. Teresita Magbag, Ex-Officio. Mrs. Ismaelinda Cabana was appointed by the Exetutive Officers adviser as she is one of the proponent of the association together with Mrs. Villamater.

Ms. Audrey Anday, College Librarian of UP Open University was introduced by Ms. Noreen Rairata of MSEUF Candelaria. Ms. Anday deeply discussed “Reshaping Libraries and Librarianship: a look at the past, an assessment of the present and a peep to the future.” She started her talk by a simple motivation wherein she asked the participants to form six (6) groups to design and describe the types of libraries assigned in each group.

A closing remarks was given by Ms. Lally Zapata, QLA Vice-Chair and Conference chair. Ms. Marisel Viñer and Ms. Marietta Nayve were the Masters of the Ceremony. (Myrna P. Macapia)

History and Activities of QLA

2007-11-14T23:24:00.000-08:00

September 2006

Motivated by the Cavite Librarians Association (CLASS), Ismaelinda "Smile" Cabana and Rosario "Rose" Villamater had stirred interest to organize the Association of Librarians in Quezon Province. The association was created before the PLAI-STRLC Regional Conference and General Assembly to provide provincial representation on September 8, 2006. Invitations were distributed to all types of library, private and government alike.

To encourage librarians and unregistered librarians to attend the creation of the association and election of its officers, a forum was set and the theme “ LIBRARIANS AND THEIR ACCOUNTABILITIES" was conducted. The forum aimed to enlighten some issues on accountabilities of librarians.

During the morning session, two speakers presented their papers on “Accountabilities of Librarians” Mrs. Teresita Dj. Magbag, Director of Enverga University for Academic Libraries and Mrs. Ismaelinda S. Cabana, Quezon Provincial Librarian for Public Libraries.

57 participants from different libraries of Quezon Province attended the forum. Out of the 57 participants, 15 were registered librarians

After the Forum, Quezon Librarians Association (QLA) was born. Proposed By-laws was ratified and officers were elected. The first QLA President elected was Dr. Teresita DJ. Magbag. To see list of other officer, click here.

May 2007

Last May 2 & 3, 2007, QLA organized a 2-day live-out seminar-workshop at the University Libraries, Manuel S. Enverga University, Lucena City. The seminar-workshop theme is “LEARNING AND PROMOTING SERVICES IN LIBRARIES”. It aimed to have a much clearer understanding on Abstracting & Indexing, other library services and update participants with the latest strategies in promoting the library. Topics included were Enhancing Abstracting & Indexing Skills, Promoting Public Services, Developing Special Services and application of Electronic Services.

September 2007

Another forum was organized by QLA last September 14, 2007 at the Sacred Heart College, Lucena City. The forum is entitled "EMINENT ROLE OF LIBRARIANS IN RESEARCH MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT". It aimed to have a much clearer understanding of the role of librarians and other information professionals in research management and development.
