Subject Area: Library Management

Year of Graduation: 1964

Abstract

This study provides a general overview of the laws and administrative regulations affecting all types of libraries in the Philippines. It elaborates upon some problems and potentialities and offers some guideposts and recommendations for the most promising solution of our library problems. Recognizing that the state is obligated to provide a sound legal foundation for the establishment and maintenance of libraries, it is recommended that a broad and far-reaching plan for library development be formulated. It is likewise recommended that a National Central Library Advisory Board with policy-making and advisory powers be appointed and that effective and progressive library legislation be adopted; for example, legislation providing for adequate financial for public libraries.

Subject Area: Library Services

Year of Graduation: 1965

Abstract

Vocational schools, colleges and universities gear their objectives to meet national exigencies, and the library as part of the school system, must perform its service role to effect a more vigorous and productive program of instruction. It is the purpose of this study to describe the existing library conditions in a number of trade and industrial school libraries, no to be destructive in pointing out their deficiencies, but to help seek ways and means by which problems can be resolved so that a better concept of the school library, its purposes and importance as an integral and vital agency working for the achievement of educational goals could be brought about. Explanations and discussions of data and findings regarding library conditions in the trade school libraries are presented to shed light on the problems.

Some High School Library Experiences of College Freshmen at the Philippine Women's University

Researcher: ZENAIDA A. MALDONADO

Course: Master of Arts in Education major in Library Science

School: Philippine Women's University, Philippines

Subject Area: School Libraries

Year of Graduation: 1959

Research Problem
This study attempts to find out the extent of high school library experiences of 522 college freshmen enrolled at the Philippine Women’s University during the school year 1958-1959 in order to determine what should constitute an effective library instruction program for this group of library users.

Methodology
Through a two-part questionnaire and a performance test, it is ascertained how much and how well students use the library resources and facilities, as well as why the students did not utilize these.

Findings and Conclusions
One of the findings is that the students made fairly good use of the dictionary but not the encyclopedia and the card catalog. A fairly high percentage of the group have skill and ability to identify and use the various parts of a book. The most common reason cited for the non-use or poor use of library resources is the students’ unfamiliarity with these due to their unavailability in the high schools and the fact that the students were not taught how to make effective use of the library and its resources.

Recommendations
It is recommended that provisions be made for teaching students the library skills they lack.
