I would like to lead PAARL as a stress-free library organization while aimed at developing more professional competencies

t h r o u g h q u a l i t y , c u s t o m e r - o r i e n t e d services resulting to satisfied clients and good Assoc ia t ion ’s image utilizing not only acquired conceptual and technical skills but also human-related skills (as was explained when we had our planning in Tagaytay last January 8).

I subscr ibe to what Ms. Elvira Lapuz (this year ’s Profess ional S e r v i c e A w a r d e e ) shared projected in the screen through e-beam technology- in Tagaytay

planning, January 8. She emphasized PRIORITY NEEDS:1. Increase advocacy and marketing of the Association;2. Develop and manage the Association’s financial resources;3. Increase membership; and,4. Develop future leaders and advocates.

PAARL 2011 Calendar of Activities was prepared because of these priority needs (see activities on page 12).

If you think there is a need for PAARL to register at IFLA and be a member under its ORGANIZATION CATEGORY, push and drive us to make it happen. If you think WONDERFUL Batanes is worth every single centavo for an outreach, book a flight now, bring a book, a bag or a box of books and periodicals and join us in December. We had HELLO Singapore last October with 34 participants, feel a deeper sense of belongingness with PAARL, bond with your board of directors and member-joiners and benchmark with our EXCITING HONGKONG LIBRARY TOUR & BENCHMARKING this October.

Do you want some more? Be engaged with PAARL now! I look forward to hearing from you, receive e-mail notices, phone calls & invites, video surprises, blog write-ups with your, YES! Count me in...

BFL Chair Mrs. Corazon M. Nera; Honored guests, Members, Colleagues and Friends: To Be or Not To Be

This famous line of William Shakespeare has often been applied to dilemmas confronting decision-makers faced with a dichotomous choice, only one of which should be acted upon (Berino, 2008).

To be president or not to be president? To be president...I am very honored to have been installed as the 33rd president to PAARL, Inc. When I was 30, I only wanted to have a wife and kids and build a family of my own. But since I got enmeshed and eventually became the president to PNULISAA, Inc. I started to be engaged from being a public relations officer to conference chair/vice president from 2006 to 2008 with Library Customer Care, Information Literacy Power Packages, Web-based Reader Services as my contribution to the nation’s continuing professional education for librarians and libraries through “A Caring Alumni Group’” and that is, PNULISAA, Inc. Its members and patrons plus a circle of 10 good leaders, namely: Elnora Conti (Far Eastern University), Placida Socorro Limpin (Australia), Medel Vincent Bautista (Xavier School), Evelyn Nabus (Colegio de San Juan de Letran), Consuelo Estigoy (E. Joson Memorial Colleges), Medina De Castro (Sta. Isabel College), Estela Montejo (Ateneo de Manila University), Jocelyn Ladlad (De La Salle University), Marites Chavez (Congressional High School) and Arturo Morales (DILG-LGU), who are the Association’s strong pillars, support me, backing me up in each professional activity I indulge in. Also, I share this honor to my professor-advisers from the Philippine Normal University: Dr. Linda M. Tayona, Prof. Ruben P. Marasigan, Prof. Miguel M. Cobaria and Dr. Maria A. Orendain. To my one personal guest, Ms. Zenaida S. Andres, school administrator from St. Louis College of Valenzuela, Ms, Annabelle L. Aliwalas (immediate superior @ DLSU) and the library personnel of De La Salle University.

As PAARL President, in the same way Ms. Fe Angela M. Verzosa (2000 and 2004 president) iterated, I also would like to see our Association going stronger and best attuned to the needs of our members, in the advancement of their professions in academic and research workplaces. In the recent posts in e-groups, you were able to see my personal service brand replacing I am PAARL (used as P.R.O in 2009) and PAARL, Inc., Every Librarian’s Association (used as conference chair in 2010), now be pleased to read, hear from time to time a new service brand, referring to PAARL Inc. as FULLY ENGAGED, MEMBER-DRIVEN ASSOCIATION.

I also believe that service brand acceptance must be earned with a good product and regular promotion and it is very fitting to use this year in specific communications bearing the new brand for services and products PAARL will facilitate and sell as one FULLY ENGAGED, MEMBER-DRIVEN ASSOCIATION.

Incoming Presidential Remarks(Delivered by Roderick B. Ramos on the occasion of the 38th Annual General Assembly & Induction / Awarding Ceremonies at Epifanio Delos Santos Hall, The National Library, Manila, January 28, 2011)

“To be president or not to be president?”

News


The Chairperson of the Board of Librarians of the Professional Regulation Commission, Ms. Corazon Nera, and board members Ms. Mila Ramos and Ms. Arabella Ananoria; The Board of Directors, past presidents and members of the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians, led by outgoing president Mr. Christopher Paras; The representatives of the different library associations in the Philippines; Dear librarians and guests, a pleasant good morning.

Cicero was quoted to have said, “To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.” In the same vein, we could also claim that libraries are the heart of our educational institutions, the lifeblood, for they feed the mind and nourish our spirit with knowledge and information.

Which is why it is our personal joy as an administrator that the De La Salle University Library is under our supervision as part of the Academic Services Group. We get to be familiarized and involved in its initiatives that contribute to the university’s mission-vision of being “A leading learner-centered research university, bridging faith and scholarship in the service of society, especially the poor.”

The dedication of our De La Salle University librarians to this profession is evidenced by the activities and projects it is undertaking to continuously improve their services and proactively respond to the needs of the university community. In terms of personal development, our library personnel recently participated in the Seminar on Quality Service Management upon their return from the holiday break early this month.

Last year, the university library started accepting payments for fines and printing via the electronic card GreenPurse. It also converted the Cybernook into Cafe@theLibrary, operated by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Library. In addition, it will soon launch a 24/7 Tele-Reference Service through Text Messaging.

For sure, your respective libraries have also been undergoing changes in this Web 2.0 information technology-driven academic environment. The PAARL series of seminars and fora are very important sources of how to adapt and adopt to these online systems, and how to constantly improve library services. It is to your credit that libraries are not becoming obsolete but are moved to the forefront in the collection, organization, and dissemination of knowledge.

The election of Mr. Roderick Ramos as your new PAARL president is a timely and fitting contribution for the De La Salle University Centennial celebrations this 2011. As such, we wish to take this opportunity to invite you to visit our library, and you will definitely get a very warm welcome from Erick.

Please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to be physically here with you due to unforeseen personal circumstances.

Congratulations to the new PAARL Board of Directors.Thank you.

Inspirational MessageDelivered by Jocelyn Ladlad

(in-behalf of Edwin S. Santiago, DLSU-Manila)

In the Middle Ages, people believed in the existence of the “Fountain of Youth” in the New World and when old folks drank from it, they would be young again.

To this day, no one has ever found a fountain with such miraculous waters. It is indeed unfortunate that a lot of us spend so much time searching for the “Fountain of Youth,” but not finding it. Few people realize that such fountain is just around them or already with them because they don’t recognize that work — useful and productive work — is the real fountain of youth.

Some people, including librarians, who opt to retire prematurely age faster in their idleness than they ever did in full-time employment. Indeed, doing nothing is more boring and tiring especially when one is still young enough.

Too many people associate purposeful work with profitable work. They perceive low paying jobs as boring. To them the most interesting and challenging jobs are the high-paying ones. Yet there are many useful things in every community that need to be done; that could bring satisfaction even without compensation. Librarians who are looking for the “Fountain of Youth” need not go far and away from their families. They just have to be more creative and more diligent in looking for opportunities to serve in the community. They can help organize reading centers especially in the far flung and depressed areas. They can solicit from benefactors or launch book drives that can help barangay libraries in their effort at building their collection.

When librarians find something that needs to be done and put their hearts and minds into it, they gain a new purpose in living. It makes them feel much younger than what the calendar shows. I believe that’s how our honorees today feel.

Colleagues and fellow librarians, we appreciate very much the honor given to us this morning. Such gesture poses a challenge for us to keep ourselves forever young that we may have the strengths to continue to serve. To know that our hard work, that our service is appreciated makes us become more determined to render service for it is in serving you that we find love. It is seeing young men and women gain more knowledge through us that keep us alive, that keep us young forever. Working with you and for you enable us to find our “Fountain of Youth”.

We thank you for this recognition of our humble service. In the name of the fellow honorees, we say “Maraming Salamat” from the bottom of our hearts. Mabuhay! God bless us all.

“Fountain of Youth” Response from Fr. Paul M. de Vera, OSB

It was in Tagaytay where the Board spent one Saturday to plan for its 2011 activities. Vice president and conference chair Sonia Gementiza brought the group in one beautiful residential house with good food and accommodating Bulalo cooked from Dasma-Cavite in the highlands of cold, chilly breezy Tagaytay last January 8, 2011. 2009 president and this year’s Professional Service Awardee, Ms. Elvira Lapuz (University of the Philippines) lectured about radicalizing the administrative culture of the Organization and emphasized PRIORITY NEEDS:

1. Increase advocacy and marketing of the Association;2. Develop and manage the Association’s financial resources;3. Increase membership; and,4. Develop future leaders and advocates.

Then, a planning-workshop was set with meeting of minds of a DREAM TEAM (coined by Mr. Christopher Paras) consisting of key players from DLSU-Dasma represented by Sonia Gementiza; UP-Diliman, Sharon Ma. Esposo; Ateneo Professional School, Sonia Lourdes David; UST, Cecilia Lobo; UE-Manila, Aquilino Abenojar (replaced by TIP-QC, Sonny Boy Manalo); CEU, Victoria Baleva; Ateneo de Manila University, Matet Villanueva; San Juan De Letran, Carolyn De Jesus; and, Global City College, Christopher Paras, led by newly elected president, Mr. Roderick B. Ramos (DLSU-Manila).

The stewardship of 2011 Board and the success of this year’s activities are primarily centered on what was agreed upon by the group as the Association’s marketing brand: PAARL, Inc., “Fully Engaged, Member-driven Association”.

Last February 18, 2011, the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians, Inc., in cooperation with the Miguel de Benavides Library of the University of Santo Tomas conducted a forum entitled “Face2Face: Finding your Balance in Handling Difficult Library Customers” at the Conference Hall, Miguel de Benavides Library, UST, España, Manila.

The forum aimed on how to establish good library-customer chemistry. It also intended to get a better understanding of Customer Relations Management and to acquire the needed balance prior, during and after a challenging library encounter with library patrons. The speaker was Ms. Anastacia Dalisay Decinal who delivered her lecture in a very interactive manner; involving the participants by sharing their own respective encounters and experiences with library clients.

Prior to the forum proper, the participants viewed the major book exhibit entitled “Lumina Pandit: an Exhibition of Historical Treasures”. It showcased the UST library’s precious and significant compilation of books and other materials. The exhibit was prepared in celebration of the 400th year founding anniversary of UST.

PAARL would like to extend its gratitude to Fr. Aparicio, to Ms. Decinal, to the participants and all the persons who made the forum a complete success.
