Abstract
This survey of seven theological seminary libraries in the Greater Manila Area for the school year 1969-1970 was undertaken to determine the status of these libraries and find out how to improve their organizational and administrative set up. All aspects of the seminary libraries, such as objectives of the seminary and its library, administrative organization, collection, technical services, personnel, library use, library building and equipment are considered. The data gathered by means of questionnaires, direct observation, and interviews are presented, analyzed and compared against existing standards such as the ALA. Standards for College Libraries, library standards, 1954-1958, of the American Association of Theological Schools, Standards for Accrediting of the American Association of Theological Schools, and Proposed Standards for Philippine College and University libraries. The seminary libraries may be divided into two groups, the first group consisting of five seminary libraries has a rather good status but the second group of two seminary libraries does not.
