The assembly was highlighted by the report of out-going president, Ms. Elvira Lapuz, who gave an account of PAARL’s accomplishments for the year 2009 and gratefully ac-knowledged the members, the sponsors, and the donors, for all the support they have all extended to the association. Ms. Joce-lyn Balangue, outgoing treasurer, presented the financial report noting a significant increase in the association’s total earnings.

sented of the results of the recently concluded election. Ms. Fe Angela Verzosa, Chair of the Law and Legislation Committee for 2009, presented three amendments to the PAARL by-laws, which were all approved by the body.

The Induction of Officers The ceremony started with an opening prayer led by Sr. Ma. Gloria B. Pasamba, SPC and was immediately followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem, led by Ms. Aisa M. Dela Torre. To warmly welcome the members was Sr. Evangeline Anastacio, SPC, Vice President for Academics of the SPU-QC, whose message clearly manifested strong support for PAARL as well as its incoming president (who is SPU-QC’s librarian) and high regard to the association for the value it puts into interdependence in the forms of cooperation, collaboration, and networking among and between libraries and librarians. Sr. Nintha Lucilla Baldado, SPC, University President of SPU-QC, gave the inspirational message. Ms. Pador formally presented the members of the 2010 Board of Directors and were inducted into office by Sr. Nintha. This year’s PAARL board members are the following:

Christopher C. Paras is currently the College Librarian of the St. Paul University in Quezon City. He has served PAARL in various capacities for the past 3 years-- as secretary in years 2007 and 2008 and as Vice President and conference chair in 2009. His vast experiences as officer of different library associ-ations and administrator of a couple of libraries, his educational attainment, and his commitment to PAARL have considerably contributed to the making of probably the youngest PAARL president ever.

Roderick B. Ramos works as associate Information-Reference librarian at the De La Salle University Library- Manila. In 2009, Mr. Ramos served as public relations officer of PAARL and associate editor of its newsletter. Creative and techno-savvy, Erick, as he is fondly called by his colleagues, perfectly fits the position of PAARL’s Vice President and conference chair.

Sonia M. Gementiza is the Library Director of the De La Salle University- Dasmariñas and presently the President of the Cav-ite Librarians Association. A seasoned library administrator who is actively involved in various library associations, Sonia undoubtedly possesses the qualities of an effective and efficient secretary any PAARL president would ever want.

Aisa de la Torre serves as electronic resources librarian of the Ateneo Professional Schools Library in Rockwell, Makati City. Aisa was one of PAARL‘s board of directors in 2009. Prudent and forward looking, Aisa was entrusted to manage the finan-cial resources of PAARL being this year’s treasurer.

Veronica M. Jose is the chief librarian of the Mapua Institute of Technology in Intramuros, Manila. Veron has, for the past two years (2007 and 2008), been a board of director for PAARL.

Now on her third term of office, she was voted as auditor to work closely with the treasurer and see to it that disbursements are properly carried out according to the by-laws of the associa-tion.

Ana Maria B. Fresnido is presently the Director of the De La Salle University Library- Manila. Just like the other board members, Ana is not new to PAARL as she has also been ac-tively involved in the association for more than a decade ei-ther as officer or chair/co-chair/member of the various standing committees. Articulate in both oral and written communication, Ana will certainly make a good public relations officer.

Victoria P. Baleva is the Librarian-in-Charge of the Periodi-cals Unit of the Centro Escolar University Library. Versatile, jolly, and always on the go, Vicky is one of the three board of directors, a position she has been holding since 2009.

Erlinda B. Gonzalez is the chief librarian of the Manila Doc-tors College in Pasay City. Her extensive experience as library administrator and PACUCOA accreditor definitely makes her an asset to the association. It can be remembered that Linda was PAARL board of director in 2008, a position she also holds for this year.

Sr. Maria Gloria B. Pasamba, SPC, Head of St. Paul College Library in Pasig is the last member of the board of directors. Fun to be with, straightforward and compassionate, Sr. Gloria is indeed heaven sent for she, herself, is a constant reminder of the board’s commitment to God and PAARL members.

Elvira B. Lapuz, the Head Librarian of College of Social Sci-ences and Philosophy Library, University of the Philippines and was the 2009 PAARL president completes this year’s line up of board members being the ex-officio of the association. She has been serving the organization for quite some time and is very approachable and knowlegable on the profession’s current trends which makes her an idol to young librarians.

President Paras, in his inaugural speech, expressed his gratitude to his PAARL “family” for believing in his potentials and capabilities to lead the association and promised to give his utmost dedication in serving the association and its members. He also presented the list of activities lined up for the year as well as plans for other projects and activities like the extension of the scholarship program to underprivileged but deserving high school graduates who intends to take up library science courses; the creation of section committees to address library related concerns; the setting up of a feedback mechanism to en-sure that members are accorded with the services and benefits due them; the provision for more privileges for individual and institutional members; and the plan to make PAARL globally recognized through cooperation with other regional counter-parts.

PAARL holds 37th General Assembly ... from page 2The Awarding CeremoniesIn its own little way, PAARL has, for the last 37 years of exis-tence, been instrumental in recognizing deserving librarians/li-brary/library programs who/which, in one way or the other, have contributed to the advancement of Philippine librarianship. This year’s Committee on Awards and Scholarship, chaired by Ms. Marietta Molina, deliberated on the candidates for the different awards and came up with the decision to grant the awards to the following:

Ms. Loreto Garcia, Director of the Jose Rizal University Li-brary, is the recipient of this year’s Professional Service Award, in recognition of her invaluable service as immediate past Presi-dent of the Association, and for her wholehearted dedication to the cause of academic and research librarianship in her capacity as resource speaker in seminars and conferences of different li-brary associations and as President of UE Library Science Alum-ni Association.

The Thomas Jefferson Information Center’s American Shelf bagged this year’s Outstanding Library Program. The said pro-gram aims to reach out to the general public, particularly the younger generation of Filipinos, by providing chosen host librar-ies with small-scale compendium of American Studies core col-lection and updated information on the United States. To date, there are 37 American shelves in the Philippines where 12 are in the National Capital Region (NCR), 9 in Luzon (outside of the NCR), 4 in the Visayas, and 7 in Mindanao.

The Outstanding Academic/Research Library of the Year was given to Ateneo Professional Schools Library for its valuable contribution in supporting the intellectual effort of groups of scholars, students and others, outside the immediate university context in view of its unique capabilities, nationally and interna-tionally, in areas of particular strength.

Two librarians, Ms. Celedonia R. Cayaban of DLS-College of St. Benilde and Ms. Zorayda Bartolome of the Central Lu-zon State University, were awarded Outstanding Academic/Research Librarians of the Year for their outstanding national/regional contribution to academic or research librarianship and library development in the Philippines.

A special citation was also given to Ms. Fe Angela M. Ver-zosa, former DLSU Library Director and PAARL past president, for keeping PAARL members well-informed about the organi-zation’s activities through the PAARL Yahoo!Group, PAARL Wiki, and PAARL Facebook account, which she moderates and regularly maintains.

The real scene stealer of the day was Ms. Corazon M. Nera, when she was acknowledged with standing ovation, as she re-ceived the Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest recognition given to a librarian who has reached the hallmark of professional excellence. Mrs. Nera, has contributed significantly to Philippine Librarianship as the present Chairman of the Board for Librarians of the Professional Regulation Commission; as past president of PAARL, PLAI and PATLS; for her notable advocacy in provid-ing training opportunities to students of Library Science and professional librarians through scholarship grants when she was FAPE Program Director; for unselfishly sharing her expertise as a resource speaker in various local, regional and international seminars and conferences; and above all, for being a role model among her colleagues in the profession.

Sixteen (16) past PAARL presidents, namely: Corazon Nera (1983-84), Lolita Gonzales (1988), Teresita Moran (1989), Rodolfo Tarlit (1990), Celedonia Cayaban (1991), Rebecca Joc-son (1994), Dionisia Angeles (2005), Zoraida Bartolome (1996), Veneranda Sajorda (1999), Fe Angela Verzosa (2000 & 2004), Teresita Hernandez (2002), Susan Pador (2003), Sr. Ignatius Tal Placido (2006), Marieta Molina (2007), Loreto Garcia (2008), and Elvira Lapuz (2009) graced the occasion together with 150 members.

The long debate on whether Continuing Professional Edu-cation (CPE) should be implemented as a mandatory require-ment for the renewal of license or not, demonstrate how librar-ians dread being unable to renew their licenses because of lack CPE points.

To shed light on the issue, PAARL, sponsored a public forum entitled To CPE or not to CPE on February 19, 2010 at the Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo in De La Salle University–Dasmariñas, Cavite. Invited to serve as resource persons were Ms. Audrey G. Anday, Librarian of the UP-Open University, Atty. Vyva Aguirre, Dean, School of Library and Information Studies of the UP-Diliman and former CPEC member, and Mrs. Corazon M. Nera, Chair of the Board for Librarians.

The discussion started with the presentation of the re-sults of the survey conducted by Ms. Anday on the Expecta-tions and Perceptions of Librarians Toward Continuing Profes-

sional Education which confirmed that most librarians share the same sentiments, that is, they would want to attend seminars and trainings not only because it is mandatory but because they feel that it is a way of improving oneself. However, certain fac-tors such as lack of resources and time hinder them from doing so. Atty. Aguirre discussed on the legal aspect of CPE making clear that it is not mandatory but rather voluntary. Hence, it is not a legal obligation but a moral obligation as it is essential in the practice of the profession. Mrs. Nera, on the other hand, fur-thered the discussion by presenting legal provisions lifted from various sources justifying the need for CPE.

Also present during the forum were Mr. Marco S. Saez, AVP for Academic Services, DLSU-Dasmariñas, who welcomed the participants and gave a short inspirational message and Ms. Fe Angela M. Versoza, who actively participated in the discus-sion.

Welcome Remarks (Speech delivered by Sr. Evangeline Anastacio, SPC, VP for Academics, SPUQC on the occasion of the 37th Annual General As-sembly & Induction/Awarding Ceremonies at St. Paul University Quezon City, 29 January 2010)

Ms. Corazon Nera, Chairperson of the Board of Li-brarians of the Professional Regulations Commission and its other board members; // Dir. Prudenciana Cruz, Director of the National Library of the Philippines; // Ms. Lilia Echeverri, National President of the Philippine Librarians’ Association, Incorporated;// present and past presidents and officers of the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians; // officers and members of other librarian and library associations in the Philippines; // distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning!

It is indeed a great honor for St. Paul University Que-zon City to host this 37th Annual General Assembly and Induc-tion and Awarding Ceremonies of the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians (PAARL). This is a sincere manifestation of our school’s unwavering support not only for our very own Mr. Christopher Paras, of whom we are proud to have been elected as the incoming president of PAARL, but it is also clearly a manifestation of our support for the entire cause, goals and objectives of your association.


The Board Plans for 2010 Activities Led by President Cris Paras, the board headed to Sa-jorda Riverpark Resort in Iba, Zambales for the annual plan-ning-workshop on January 8, 2010. Despite the long and tiring ride, the members were on their toes the following morning. Who wouldn’t with a sumptu-ous Filipino breakfast on the table, a perfect view of the river, and a warm welcome from the owner, Mrs. Venie Sajorda, past president of PAARL Short after, the group proceeded to the meeting venue to formally start the planning workshop. The exchange of ideas between the members of the board made the discussion very lively and fun despite the pressure. The success of this year’s activities is dependent on how well the members will respond to the call of support from the people whom the members themselves chose to be their ser-vants— the 2010 PAARL Board.


St. Paul University Quezon City is one of the 39 Schools all over the country with 27 in Luzon and 12 in the Visayas and Mindanao. We form Christ-centered persons who are simple, warm and active, and with a passion for service.We advocate Paulinian Catholic Education for Social Trans-formation. The library has always been an essential academic sup-port unit in the academe without which we would not have been able to effectively accomplish our mission as an institution. In this information, technological and digital age, your role as librarians has changed and has continued to evolve in your effort to respond to the needs of the present day learn-ers. In 1987, Murr and Williams have foreseen that the “Li-brary,” as a place, will give way to “a future library” which would be (quote) “a transparent knowledge network providing “intelligent” services to business and education through both specialized librarians and emerging information technologies.” (unquote). Reading the trend of their time, they have foreseen that libraries will rely heavily on computers and peripherals to facilitate electronic document imaging, publishing, telecom-munications, and information delivery in addition to networked collection management and reference services. That future li-brary is now here: from traditional librarians you have become

information mediators and providers, digitized information organizers and knowledge resource managers. The need for further skills training and development seems to be unstoppa-ble; recreating the role of the librarian seem to be a continuous necessity. The challenge is so great that we need to put our thoughts, acts and efforts together in order to effectively re-spond to the needs of the times. Here is where we find the value of cooperation, collaboration, and networking. Here lies the value of interdependence. Stephen Covey says, (quote) : “Life is by nature highly interdependent. To try to achieve maximum effectiveness through independence is like trying to play tennis with a gold club--- the tool is not suited to the reality. Inter-dependence is a far more mature and advanced concept than independence.” If we are interdependent, we realize that we can, collectively accomplish more than what each of us, even at our best, can individually accomplish alone. I firmly believe that the reason why your association has continually grown and been sustained all these years is that you recognize and affirm the value and the benefits of interde-pendence. It is our joy and privilege to be part of your continu-ing effort towards strengthening the networks and collabora-tion among our schools through your association. With this positive note and on behalf of the adminis-tration, faculty and staff of St. Paul University Quezon City, I warmly welcome you all.

High Impact Library Customer Handling in the 21st Century

Welcome remarks ... from page 4

With the library customers in mind, PAARL spon-sored a forum on High Impact Customer Handling in the 21st Century with Dr. Eduardo Garrovillas as the resource person on March 19, 2009 at the Ortigas Library Foundation. Dr. Gar-rovillas is currently the Research Director of the Jose Rizal Uni-versity and has authored several textbooks in marketing.

The discussion focused on library branding as a way of providing excellent library service and achieving customer satisfaction, thus, avoiding conflict between the library person-nel and the customers.

Have you ever been caught in a situation when you almost loose control of yourself because of a difficult customer? How did you feel afterwards? Did you feel guilty, wronged, ashamed, offended, upset, or angry? Did you promise yourself to be more patient and composed next time? Or did you just let it pass without giving much thought on how you should have reacted or responded to the situation?

Librarians just like sales people should be well adept at handling difficult customers because they are the ones who drive libraries to innovate and perform better.

(l-r) Ms. Baleva with Ms. Lalana and Mr. Ramos presenting the certificate of appreciation to Dr. Eduardo Garrovilles


Inaugural Speech(Speech delivered by Christopher C. Paras on the occasion of the 37th Annual General Assembly & Induction/Awarding Ceremo-nies at St. Paul University Quezon City, 29 January 2010) Hon. Corazon M. Nera, Chair of the BFL, distin-guished past presidents, awardees, guests, our dear PAARL members, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Allow me to express my sincere appreciation first and foremost to all of you who have come here and joined us once again on this annual event of PAARL. To me this affair is not only a venue for discussion and argument, induction or award-ing, this, I consider as a more meaningful occasion like a family gathering or a reunion where all of us here are like brothers and sisters with our elders of course, who come together and share some moments of thoughts, laughter and joy for yet another successful year of our dear Association. And speaking of fam-ily, this is exactly what it felt like to be with PAARL, and so let me start by saying that at this moment, we are not an association of professional librarians but indeed a family. I have a daring confession to make to all of you and I demand your immediate forgiveness. You know what, in my entire life I have never dreamed of becoming a librarian. It’s a profession I denied many times before, not only to my closest friends, but even to my family and relatives as well. Maybe it’s the reason why it took me just last night to draft this speech, it’s really unintentional but it happened. I asked myself then, if my heart doesn’t purely belong to the profession, how could I ever lead as your next President? Until after almost midnight, I finally came to realize and got reminded of what my PAARL “family”, for three consecutive years, has always been telling me and I quote “Chris, you have all what it takes to become President”. What actually tickled in my mind is not the fact that Yes! I’m now on top; I just need to discover or maybe enrich my potentials. No it’s not, but it is the fact that there are peo-ple who believe in me, in my ability and in my leadership; and when I say people-- there are many-- not only one or two. And that leads me to believe that leadership then is not only about being a professional or librarian by heart, it’s more of gaining respect and confidence from your colleagues. And that firmly convinced me to accept this position. I know that some of you may have doubts and hesi-tations on the way I will handle things during my term, but please don’t worry; I have been a good servant to three past Presidents. I may not be as great as them or like the past presi-dents here present, but I can assure you my utmost dedication and principled actions in continuing the great legacy of our as-sociation which we have earned through the years. Now let’s go back to business. What can your new President offer this year? There are only a few items I want to focus on and give full attention together and hand in hand with the incumbent Board and appointed chairs and members of the different Committees and Councils. I do not want to dream of so many good things for the association for I know that a calen-dar year is not enough to accomplish such endeavors, hence, I can only mention what I believe is manageable and feasible for this term.

Aside from continuing all the common tasks being undertaken by every passing Board, including that of what had been spear-headed by President Elvira Lapuz, I intend to pursue the follow-ing activities:

1. Extend the scholarship program not only to our PAARL members but also to underprivileged High School graduates in the provinces who are willing to take the four year Library Science program in any state college or uni-versity in the country. In line with this, holding of career talks in selected remote secondary schools is proposed. 2. Massive promotion and campaign on Scholarship Grants provided by PAARL to its members. 3. Creation of Section Committees that will address spe-cific issues and concerns of our members focusing on areas and services like Readers, Technical, Multimedia and Digi-tal, Academic Law and Management and Administration of Libraries.4. Designing of a monitoring mechanism to ensure that every member is given due services and benefits.5. Work for additional privileges that our members, both individual and institutional, may enjoy and avail of. 6. For PAARL to become visible in the international community by furthering its collaboration to local and re-gional library associations.

With this in mind, I am proud to announce our Cal-endar of Activities for the year 2010 which was drafted and finalized by the Board during our Planning-Workshop held at Sajorda Riverpark in Iba, Zambales last January 9, 2010, of course, subject to changes without prior notice. Our initial activity for this year is a Public Forum on To CPE or not to CPE which will be held on February 19. This forum which will be held in cooperation with DLSU – Das-mariñas aims to tackle salient provisions and true mandates of Continuing Professional Education for librarians. Second in the list is a Lecture–Forum themed as High Impact Library Customer Handling in the 21st Century to be held at Ortigas Library Foundation. It will basically focus on how librarians should properly deal with disoriented clients and handle difficult situations involving library services. Of the three major activities we prepared for the year, one of them is already ventured with Dao Diamond and Break-fast Hotel in Tagbilaran City, Bohol from April 14-16. A theme on “Superior Practices and World Widening Library Services of Philippine Libraries” awaits all of you this summer at the refreshing scenery of Bohol. On May 21, we will conduct another lecture-forum in cooperation with C&E Publishing. This is a half-day discus-sion on Communicating Effectively in the Library Workplace which aims to strengthen the language and speech capabilities of librarians towards better and proactive service to clients and

stakeholders. Likewise, unleashing topic on Bibliotheraphy and Book Prescription Methods will take a slot on June 18 at the National Bookstore. Also for this year, PAARL will be hosting two pow-erful fora in two biggest events in July and September during ABAP and MIBF Book Fairs, respectively. Raising the librar-ians’ teaching identity through lifelong learning modules and portfolios and information ethics and copyright lawyering of in-formation professionals are the topics to surely watch out for.Holy Angel University in Angeles City Pampanga is kind enough to welcome PAARL on August 19-20 for a two-day Seminar-Workshop and Parallel Sessions on the topic “Library and Web 2011 for Readers, Technical and Archives Services” as its newly designed and state-of-the art library will serve as the venue for this session. I think the most exciting, if not, the much awaited ac-tivity for this year, among all other activities I mentioned is actually PAARL’s international exposure to China or Hong Kong. We will attempt to take you on tour in the region’s finest academic libraries and cultural places come October 2010. And finally, the last in the list is our National Book Week Forum entitled Deliverable Web-Based Reader Services for Information-Challenged Individuals, of course in celebra-

tion and in support of the National Book Week in November at the National Library. Let me end this note by paying gratitude to the follow-ing people who, in one way or another, have contributed and made this occasion possible:

1. To the officials of SPUQC headed by Sr. Lucilla; To Sr. Eva, Sr. Sabina, Sr. Lorna, Sr. Kate, and Sr. Ignatius, because even though I am very new to this institution, I was wholeheartedly supported and embraced by their benevo-lence. 2. To the Library staff who are with me all the way to this endeavor. 3. To the past and incumbent PAARL Board, thank you for standing by my side at all cost.4. To the past presidents for continuously guiding and advising us, unsolicited or not. 5. To Christine, for doing best in our newsletter for the last three years. 6. To my family for accepting me for where I am now, and lastly,7. To the voting members of PAARL, to all of you, for believing in my capabilities and for trusting me with the lead position.

MARAMING SALAMAT AT MABUHAY ANG PAARL!
