Samuel Swett Green stated that reference librarians should have four goals: teaching patrons about the library’s functions and resources, as well as how to utilize them; answering patrons’ questions; helping patrons select good reading material; and promoting the library to the greater community. In other words, the library has a duty to the community it serves and must respond to the needs of its patrons. To Green, people ought to feel welcome in their local libraries and librarians should facilitate this by being actively engaged with patrons and personalizing their service for each individual (Wikipedia). Based from these ideas of Green, it may be one of the reasons why Reference Services is one of the core subjects in Library and Information Science.
Green's advocacy on reference service is of little impact in the Philippines. I say this for the following reasons:
1. Reference Library/Section in the library is not given much attention in terms of services, collection, etc.
2. Only few libraries had reference section according to the idea of Samuel Green.
3. CHED Standards, PAASCU Standards, and other standards on reference collection are silent in terms of collection quantity unlike the Filipiniana, periodicals and professional book collection.
In my quest on this aspect, only the Policies and Programs for School Library Development (DECS Order No. 6 S 1998) has specific standard on the quantity of reference books.
I appeal to the different accrediting agencies (PAASCU, PACU-COA, etc.), government accrediting agencies (CHED, DepEd, Board for Librarians) and professional associations (PAARL, ALAP, etc.) to consider standards on reference collection as part of library standards.

It was also predicted in the 70’s, gained grounds in the 80’s, that books and other media using papers would have been vanished by year 2000. The reason—the digital revolution will scorch the paper into limbo. This was the message of the many authors who predicted the death of the paper, one of whom is Marshall McLuhan, author of the popular book “ The Medium is the Message”. What was ironic was that McLuhan wrote and preached the end of the printed world by using the print as his most potent medium.
But what happened? Today the demand for papers increased so much that it has become a major source of human waste. The computer which was predicted to take over the paper needed printers to produce reading materials which are now called hard copies instead of paper copies.
The same idea about the death of printed newspapers was presents in the editorial of Manila Times dated December 26, 2006. It stated that:
“The empty sidewalks reminded us of the media experts and techies who are predicting the death of the newspaper. They forecast a day when the dailies will become irrelevant. People will not even miss the printed news … Things could get worse for the papers . . .The forecast is grim: the end is approaching.”
The editorial also touches on books and it says:
“The experts said the same thing about books. More books will be available in the CD ROM. The information highway is littered with books. People will prefer talking books. The libraries of the future will no longer house the traditional volumes but CDs and tapes.
The editorial, however, poignantly points out that books, libraries and of, course, newspapers, are here to stay. Emotively, it says:
Books have not become extinct, thank God. The library will make concessions to technology but readers prefer to take out the traditional book and read the printed word. The bookstores are busy. People prefer to curl up with a book rather than with a squarish or rounded version. . .Newspapers, like books, will survive. They do not have the sound bite of TV, the immediacy of radio or the whiz of the Internet but they offer solid news, news stories with nuance and context, and news analyses that make sense of events. They make readers pause, reflect and consider.”
The editorial has summed up in a more beautiful way what I really believe in: the printed word will never become extinct despite of the world becoming more and more digital. However, it is firmly hoped that both the printed and online editions will co-exist together, for each has its own strengths.
Visionary as it is, St. Mary’s University will surely continue to acquire the printed resources, the non-print, as well as, the electronic resources. For, when a library adds electronic resources and the Internet , both librarians and patrons have an easier access to a wealth of convenient information, but the other printed resources in the collection continue to be useful, functional, valuable and time-honored contributors of knowledge, learning and wisdom.
Although there are advantages and disadvantages of both formats—electronic/digital and print versions, the library has to update these collections. A library which does not purchase new editions will soon have a library typecast as “Jurassic park.” On the other hand, “a library which does not weed its collection will soon have a library of weeds”.

Introduction
Quality Circle is being introduced in our school. We are all encouraged to form our own quality circle having a distinct name. In our library, it is composed of two groups namely:
1) The “Star Circle,” composed of librarians who were not given teaching load in Library and Information Science subjects and library support staff, however, the part-time librarians are considered as honorary members. Their main concern is the effective and efficient management of the library operation in the university.
2) The “
Quality circle is a group of employees who perform similar duties and meet at periodic intervals, often with management, to discuss work-related issues and to offer suggestions and ideas for improvements, as in production methods or quality control (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/quality+circle).
In Wikipedia, “A quality circle is a volunteer group composed of workers (or even students) who meet to talk about workplace improvement, and make presentations to management with their ideas, especially relating to quality of output in order to improve the performance of the organization, and motivate and enrich the work of employees. Typical topics are improving occupational safety and health, improving product design, and improvement in manufacturing process. The ideal size of a quality circle is from eight to ten members.”
Quality circle is one of the employee participation methods. It implies the development of skills, capabilities, confidence and creativity of the people through cumulative process of education, training, work experience and participation. It also implies the creation of facilitative conditions and environment of work, which creates and sustains their motivation and commitment towards work excellence. Quality Circles have emerged as a mechanism to develop and utilize the tremendous potential of people for improvement in product quality and productivity (http://www.mahapwd.com/isoandqualitycircle/qc.htm).
Quality circle is a small group consisting of 6 to 12 employees doing similar work in the same company who voluntarily meet together on a regular basis to identify and solve their problems, using several problem-solving techniques which eventually lead to address work-related. It is "a way of innovating and transforming the people in the organization to become self-motivated in the attainment of the organization’s objectives."
The Logical Decision-Making Technique Applied in
The logical decision-making technique has two parts: 1) the steps for making the decision; and 2) the steps for implementing the decision (Stueart, 1998).
1. Steps for Making the Decision
1.1. Identify the problem as it seems.
1.2. Seek the facts
1.3. Identify the real problem
1.4. Generate alternative solutions to the problem
1.5. Assess the alternative solutions
1.6. Decide on the best solution
2. Steps for Implementing the Decision
2.1. Determine the course of action
2.2. Implement the course of action
2.3. Evaluate the outcome of the decision
Star Circle on the Move. It is no doubt that all or any divisions of an institution or a company are challenged by unforeseen problems and the advent of fast changing information technology which needs a collaborative decision to solve.
Problems in the Library.
1. technical and mechanical preparation of library materials;
2. library automation; and
3. delivery of library services.
Benchmarking in the Library.

The library is considered as one of the pillars or foundations in achieving quality education because it supports the curricula of the school, college or university. To attain quality education, the library should go beyond the prescribed library standards of the following: 1) the Commission on Higher Education (CHED); 2) the Department of Education (DEPED); 3) the accrediting agencies such as the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU), Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACU-COA), etc.; and 4) the professional organizations such as the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc (PLAI), Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians (PAARL), Agricultural Libraries Association of the Philippines (ALAP), etc. The Philippine government recognizes these library standards for the educational institutions to follow in order to be able to provide quality education to students.
A very good source of first hand information are the so called serials. These refer to publications, in any medium, issued in successive parts and intended to be continued indefinitely. This definition includes periodicals, magazines, journals, newspapers, annual (reports, yearbooks, directories, etc.), bulletins, and series. They provide comprehensive collection of recent information, developments, trends and issues in any field of specialization
There are categories of serials and one is called periodicals. These are publications that are published periodically such as weekly, monthly quarterly or annually. In the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 2nd edition 2004 revision, the term “serials” or “periodicals” was changed into “continuing resources.” These information sources has four types namely: 1) journals; 2) magazines; 3) newsletters / bulletins; and 4) newspapers.
Periodicals are undoubtedly a necessity in any educational institution because they contain the most recent and relevant information for learning, teaching and research needs of students, faculty and researchers. They are great sources of new truths, ideas, facts, discoveries, researches, inventions and others for classroom purposes. Relying on these sources, printed or electronic in nature, could greatly improve the quality of education in the school.
It has long been recognized by the government the importance of these periodicals in education. This can be observed in any library standards as an integral part in attaining a high caliber of education in the country.
PAARL standards on periodicals suggest the following: 1) at least three (3) titles of periodicals for the undergraduate; 2) at least six (6) titles of periodicals for the masters degree; and 3) at least ten (10) titles of periodicals for the doctorate degree per major while the CHED standards on periodicals in general prescribed a minimum of three (3) titles of periodical subscriptions: two (2) titles should be professional journal and one (1) could be technical or local journal or magazine.
