Philippine Political Parties, 1900-1965: A Selected Annotated Bibliography of Printed Materials, with a Historical Introduction

Researcher: HERMINIA H. SANTOS

Course: Master of Library Science

School: University of the Philippines, Quezon City

Subject Area: Bibliography

Year of Graduation: 1966

Abstract

This is an annotated selective bibliography of documents, books, pamphlets, periodical articles, and unpublished materials purportedly indicating the development of Philippine political parties covering the period 1900-1965. It does not include materials published during the Japanese occupation, 1942-1945. Preceding the bibliography proper is a section listing bibliographic aids which would help locate additional materials not included in the bibliography. The bibliography consists of 244 items divided into five sections by type of material. An author-title-subject index is appended for easy reference.

To a limited degree these materials tend to show that political parties as such are seldom free from oligarchical tendencies where only a handful influence and control the decision-making process. The historical introduction (Chapter 2) points out that the Philippines has been essentially a one-party government. Only one party, the Nacionalista Party, dominated the scene and no opposition was effective enough to challenge its power until after independence in 1946 when the two-party system was inaugurated. Despite this fact, the one-party government continued to exist; it was simply a matter of who was “in” or “out.”

Researcher: SISTER BRIGIDA KEILY

Course: Master of Arts in Library Science

School: University of Santo Thomas

Subject Area: Adult Education Program

Year of Graduation: 1970

Abstract

This study analyzes the needs, the problems, and the advantages of an adult education program and especially shows the role of the library in planning such a program and in the achievement of its objectives. It presents a proposal that could be implemented by the National Library which should accelerate the work of adult education and help in accomplishing its goals more efficiently. For background information, a brief survey of the types of adult courses available in the public school system and of the two pilot projects being conducted at Maryknoll College, Quezon City and the Maryknoll Academy, Lucena City is given. The data on the latter projects are from the school records from 1967-1970.

Concrete suggestions as to how the librarian can help bring about a more effective adult education program are presented. Likewise, a number of suggestions for a librarian-supported plan for adult education emanating from the National Library are offered.

Degree: Master of Arts in Library Science

School: University of Santo Tomas, Philippines

Subject Area: Library Services

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.
