Resources for Librarians

This is my first attempt at compiling what I believe are helpful resources for librarians. The bases for this compilation are the Philippines Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Board for Librarians (BFL) terms of specification and syllabi, and the curricular offerings of the different library and information science schools in the Philippines and abroad. Inspiration is also taken from the lessons I have learned from my students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels of Notre Dame University in Cotabato City, and Holy Cross College, University of Mindanao, Ateneo de Davao University and the University of Southeastern Philippines, all in Davao city. Profound gratitude also goes to my professors and classmates at the School of Computer Studies and Graduate School, Mindanao State University-Institute of Technology, Iligan City.

As a practicing library and information science professional for the past 27 years, I have come to realize that this profession continues to adapt to changes in technology as well as imbibe pedagogical principles and practices that need impartation not only to upcoming professionals, but also to those who are already in the field for the last decades or so. Despite the prevalence of materials in all media, there is a need to put them together in an organized manner for everybody to benefit from. I hope this website contributes to that particular endeavor. To all who use this site, please spread the news to others so they may also learn from it. Daghang salamat!
