"As a general rule, librarians are a kick in the pants socially, often full of good humor, progressive, and, naturally, well read."--Bill Hall (As quoted in American Libraries, January 2002, p. 44)

UP Library and Information Science Students’ Association (UP LISSA)

May 22, 2008

    I never thought I’ll fall in love like this. Uh huh, I’ve fallen in love with the UP LISSA considering that it wasn’t my first org and with all the issues that surrounded the org last year, only the toughest survived and still making it work up to now. 

     Housed at the 3rd floor of Gonzales Hall, UP Diliman,School of Library and Information Studies. It was established in 1962 as the first and oldest Library Science organization in the Philippines. But it was only last year when the org was revitalized with 65 members and officers determined to bring the UP LISSA back. A year full of activities like seminars, talks, volunteer work, bonding experience for the members and alumni, etc. Just like in the past years of its existence, UP LISSA believes in INTEGRITY, SERVICE, EXCELLENCE and TRUE LIBRARIANSHIP.

      And in this coming Academic Year, be sure to watch UP LISSA rock SLIS for we are back and definitely better than ever!

     Dahil "Sa LISSA, di ka nag-iisa!" :)

     See yah ’round!

SEAME INNOTECH LRC : My First Workplace

May 21, 2008

        Yup, I call it work though we were their intern during summer. So let me tell a lil about my "workplace".

        It is located at 2nd Floor of SEAMEO INNOTECH Bldg. Commonwealth Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.  

 

South East Asian Ministers of Education Oganization :

Regional Center for Educational Innovation and Technology 
 

      SEAMEO INNOTECH is one of three SEAMEO regional centers hosted by the Government of the Philippines (GOP).

        SEAMEO INNOTECH was established in January 1970 following the SEAMEO Council’s approval of its five-year plan and interim plan of operations. Its headquarters was first set up at the SEAMEO Secretariat headquarters in Thailand. It was then moved to Singapore and later on to Vietnam until it was moved back to Thailand in 1975.

        On July 1, 1976 a memorandum of agreement was signed between the GOP and SEAMEO for the temporary hosting of SEAMEO INNOTECH in the Philippines. On July 1, 1981, the GOP accepted the formal request of the SEAMEO Council for the Philippines to permanently host SEAMEO INNOTECH.

 

 (From SEAMEO INNOTECH WebSite)

 

Learning Resource Center

       The SEAMEO INNOTECH LRC houses 18,000 titles for educators and researchers. The LRC has a nice ambience to study and to do research. It has an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) for easy access to their materials. A wide range of collections that suits the needs of educators and researchers in the field of teaching.

 

        So what are you waiting for? Visit SEAMEO INNOTECH LRC now! :)

Summer Internship

May 19, 2008

aka OJT. Me together with Geexie, Jen, Wee, and Von applied for summer internship here at SEAMEO INNOTECH ( Yup, I’m blogging straight from our office). And this is our last week. Five weeks of knowing how to manage a library especially the technical aspect of our profession. Its been five weeks full of fun while learning to do stuffs. Four days til we say our goodbyes to our beloved LRC. Haish, sad. Kuya Jelo, our supervisor, has been so kind and understanding to us. We were lucky to have him as our supervisor. We also are grateful to SEAMEO INNOTECH for accepting us as their OJTs this summer. From the P60/8hrs pay, free and fast WiFi, meal subsidy, insurance, and for pampering us all throughout our stay. Maraming Salamat po! Sa uulitin! :D
