Dear Colleague:

A chance for us to get together as librarians this July 2010 will be during the 3-day national seminar scheduled on July 28-30, 2010 at the Sacred Heart Center of Saint Mary’s University of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. Saint Mary’s University, Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya is in Region 02 – the Cagayan Valley Region. It is our pleasure to invite you and all the professional librarians of ASLP to join this seminar.

The seminar entitled “Enriching the Culture of Collaboration Among Educational Institutions and Their Libraries” is an initial step that may help overcome the dwindling and diminishing value of our schools’ financial resources. It is also a step toward the direction of sharing and/or pooling of educational resources and capabilities among educational institutions.

The Philippine Librarians’ Association (PLAI) in cooperation with its Region 02 Council, the Cagayan Valley Region Librarians Council (CaVRLC) has sought CHED’s permission to hold this seminar and to allow the participants to attend this seminar with a fee of P3,800.00 for live-in and P3,000.00 for live-out inclusive of 3 lunches, 6 snacks and certificates and other incidentals.

Proposed Standards for Academic Libraries for 2010

2010-06-10T17:37:00.000-07:00

To my dear colleagues in the field of library and information science:

Kindly give your suggestions, recommendations or any other comments on the proposed standards below.

Thank you.

The Moderator

Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians (PAARL)
Standards for Academic Libraries for 2010

Preface

“Standards are not a celebration of mediocrity nor intended to provide a level of comfort by showing activities or statistics that represent a hypothetical average. Rather, the standards provide a path, sometimes difficult, to an ideal.” – Illinois Library Association

PAARL Standards for Academic Libraries for 2010 is a document generally intended to apply to libraries supporting academic programs at institutions of higher education, specifically, at the bachelor’s degree level (for college libraries), and master’s and doctoral degree levels (for university libraries).
These standards are designed to help these academic libraries and their parent institutions in determining priorities and evaluating the library performance in terms of the mission and goals of the academic institutions they serve.
While standards are needed in the evaluation of library performance, they cannot be prescriptive to apply equally to all types of academic libraries, and still be useful. Although some measures of quality and quantity are necessary to provide guidance for assessing each element of library operations and the provision of library services, and to offer guidelines for their improvements, these standards are designed for the primary need of determining and establishing measurable expectations within the context of their institutional goals. An underlying principle of this document is that each library is unique, and therefore should determine its own criteria for performance and evaluation, a process which should be undertaken within the framework of the institution's mission and goals.
When applying these Standards, it is best to be reminded that rapid changes in information and technology in recent years involve increasing expectations. With the increase in the availability of information in multiple formats and the revolutionary changes in library operations and services, academic libraries are reasonably expected to rise above these standards.

1. Mission, Goals and Objectives
1.1 The library should have a mission statement and goals to serve as a framework for its activities.
1.2 The library’s mission and goals should be consistent with those developed by the parent institution.
1.3 The overall mission of the academic library is to provide information services in support of the teaching, research, and public service missions of the parent institution. The primary goal of the library is to select, collect, organize, and provide access to all varieties of information for users. Library programs should be developed with that goal in mind.
1.4 The head of the library is responsible for developing short-and long-term goals and objectives in fulfillment of the library’s mission, in consultation with appropriate representatives from the following groups (whenever applicable):
Administration officials
Faculty
Library Staff
Students
Trustees or regents
Advisory Boards
State or other governmental units associated with the institution

1.5 A process of review and revision is required to keep the library’s mission, goals and objectives current and relevant.

2. Administration
2.1 The supervision and control of the academic library shall be clearly defined within the organizational structure of the parent institution.
2.2 The library director/head should report to the president or to the appropriate chief academic officer of the institution. The responsibilities and authority of the library director/head should be defined in writing.
2.3 The library, under its head or director, should be responsible for managing its own affairs.
2.4 This autonomy, however, only reinforces the library’s responsibility to maintain effective relationships with administration and faculty to achieve its purposes. The library should also adhere to institutional protocols, procedures, and practices as they are stated by the appropriate agencies within the institution.
2.5 The library shall be administered and supervised by a full-time librarian with at least a master’s degree in library science and the desirable managerial skills and experience.
2.6 The college/university librarian shall have faculty or academic status, and shall participate actively, and interact with the faculty, on curricular and instructional matters, and research activities.
2.7 A library committee, comprising of representatives of the student body, the faculty, and the college or university’s administration, shall serve as an advisory body on matters pertaining to collection development and use.
2.8 The library shall maintain written policies and procedures manuals covering its internal administration and operational activities, such as a cataloging manual, circulation procedures, collection development policy, and the like, which shall be reviewed regularly.
2.9 Through formal planning procedures and methods, such as strategic planning, the library shall formulate a development plan which shall include a program for a continued development and improvement of library resources and services. Corollary to this, it shall maintain a systematic and continuous program for evaluating its performance, identifying and applying performance measures that will reveal the extent to which it has been successful in fulfilling its mission. .
2.10 The college/university librarian shall submit a written annual report informing the administration and its users on its activities, accomplishments, problems and needs, and its plan of development.

3. Human Resources
3.1 Size of Staff
3.1.1 The library should be staffed in such a way as to meet demands and expectations. Staff size is determined by many factors, such as the programs offered, size and scope of collection, the number of buildings, separate units and service points, and the hours during which service is offered. While there are no absolute requirements, it is clear that the level of service is determined by the availability of staff.
3.1.2 The ratio of librarians to clerical and other library staff depends on the range of operations and services provided by the library and upon its total workload requirements.

3.2 Kinds of Staff and Qualifications
3.2.1 Library staff should include librarians and other professionals, support staff, clerks, and students to provide services at the appropriate levels.
3.2.2 Librarians and other professional staff should possess, in addition to the educational qualifications, the needed skills and academic training to meet the academic needs of the institution, and to provide management support. They should be given responsibilities matched to their educational competencies and work experiences.
3.2.3 Likewise, the library support staff, such as technicians, clerks, and student assistants, should be assigned responsibilities appropriate to their qualifications, training, experience, and capabilities.
3.2.4 The library environment is often fragmented by the type of positions held by its personnel. To avoid possible friction within library staff, such as from the derogatory connotation of titles like "semiprofessionals" and "paraprofessionals," care needs to be taken to maintain good relations between the different categories of personnel. One approach is to provide titles that recognize the diversity of positions such as Information Assistants, Media Technicians, Cataloging Technicians, Readers Assistants, Encoders, Indexers, etc. Another approach is to provide categories such as Library Aide, Library Assistant, Librarian I, II, and so on.
3.2.5 All positions in the library should be established and organized as part of a career service. Every library should have a written personnel policy with position descriptions, as well as the educational requirements for each position

3.3 Status of Librarians
3.3.1 Librarians shall be given faculty or academic status with corresponding privileges, compensation and other benefits comparable or equivalent to those of the faculty members (in accordance with institutional policies).
3.3.2 Where faculty rank exists, professional librarians shall meet the same requirements for promotion and tenure as other faculty.
3.4 Recruitment, Selection, Promotion and Compensation of Staff
3.4.1 The library staff should be covered by a written policy that clearly establishes their status, rights and responsibilities, consistent with sound personnel management. Such a policy should cover the areas of recruitment, hiring, appointment, contract renewal, promotion, tenure, dismissal, and appeal, in addition to working conditions, benefits, and other incentives.
3.4.2 The head librarian shall work in cooperation with the Personnel Office (or its equivalent) in the recruitment, screening and selection of library staff.
3.4.3 The head librarian shall conduct an annual performance evaluation of all library personnel under his/her supervision as basis for their promotion and corresponding salary adjustment.
3.4.4 Salary schedules should be created and should provide for regular increases, with provisions for merit increases for superior performance and continuing education recognition.
3.4.5 A benefit plan that includes social security, workers compensation, paid vacation and paid sick leave, health insurance, and retirement should be provided to all library employees as part of the compensation package given by the employing institution

3.5 Staff Development
3.5.1 The changing complexity of library work and ongoing changes in technology mandate regular staff participation in continuing formal and informal education.
3.5.2 A continuing staff development program shall be provided with the corresponding financial assistance from the institution. It may include formal studies in the field of library or information science or any other relevant discipline which should be consistent with the thrust of the library, and other job-related educational programs such as in-service training, seminar-workshops, and conferences.
3.5.3 Librarians participating actively in library and other professional associations, as well as those engaging in other appropriate professional activities, should be encouraged.

4. Financial Resources

4.1 The college/university librarian shall prepare, justify, and administer a library budget that meets the library’s objectives and the reasonable expectations of library users when balanced against other institutional needs.
4.2 The annual budget should be between 5 to 10 % of the total operating budget of the institution. The operating budget of the library must be appropriate to the mission of the library within the university or college, and sufficient to sustain all operations, including maintenance of automated systems. If it is impossible to meet all expectations or fund specific new programs this should be made clear, and a means for setting priorities established.
4.3 The library fee shall be set at a realistic level. It should be adequate to maintain an appropriate rate of collection development in fields pertinent to the curriculum. To sustain the library’s growth and development, the library fee shall be reviewed periodically and updated whenever necessary. All library fees collected shall be used exclusively for the library’s collection development.
4.4 In addition, adequate funds shall be allocated by the institution for maintenance, replacement, repairs, renovation and for investment in new and improved means of information access and delivery.
4.5 Where institutional funds are inadequate, other ways of augmenting the library’s financial resources shall be explored. These include endowments and donations, and participation in exchange programs and consortia or cooperative projects.
4.6 Any revenue generated by the library from fees and charges such as fines, payment for lost or damaged materials, computer search and printout, and from the sale of duplicate or unneeded items, shall be retained by the library, preferably in a separate fund account to be exclusively managed by the college/university librarian, for the support of its collections and services.
4.7 The library should utilize its financial resources efficiently and effectively It shall maintain internal accounts to monitor its income and expenses.
4.8 The library director/head should have authority to apportion funds and initiate expenditures within the library budget and in accordance with institutional policy.
4.9 The library budget should reflect the library's responsibility for acquiring, processing, servicing, and providing access to media and computer resources.
4.10 The budget should support appropriate levels of staffing and adequate staff compensation.

5. Collections

5.1 Selection and Acquisition

5.1.1 Collection development is the joint responsibility of the faculty and the librarian. The emphasis is on quality rather than quantity.
5.1.2 There shall be a year-round and carefully planned program of selecting and procuring library materials.
5.1.3 The faculty shall actively participate in the selection of print and non-print materials especially in their area of discipline, and in developing procedures to facilitate and effectively carry out the selection and acquisition activities.
5.1.4 The library shall define in writing the policies for collection development that will guide the selection and acquisition of materials. Such policies shall be developed by the library in consultation with the faculty, and approved by the administration.
5.1.5 The library shall provide for a periodic review of its existing collection, for purposes of maintaining the quality of the collection and its continued relevance to the needs of the library’s users, and of determining collection strengths and weaknesses.

5.2 Collection Management

5.2.1 Collection management not only involves the selection and acquisition process, but also the organization and use of all materials in all formats to the level required to support academic programs in research, teaching, and public service. 5.2.2 Collection management also includes leasing, renting, deselection, providing access to other collections, planned resource-sharing and cooperative storage, and electronic access to databases. 5.2.3 Collection management recognizes the importance of access to resources rather on ownership.
5.2.4 The collection management programs of the library should be developed jointly by the library and the college/university, indicating the depth and breadth of the collections, as set out in an appropriate taxonomy to determine collection levels. The following levels are generally recommended
0 Out of scope
1 Minimal information
2 Basic information
3 Study or instructional support
4 Research
5 Comprehensive

The policies setting out this program should be in written form, and regularly reviewed.
5.2.5 Adequate funding should be provided to ensure the successful implementation of the library’s collection management programs.

5.3 Holdings

5.3.1 The collection shall consist of quality, up-to-date and relevant resources that support the library’s mission to meet the curricular, instructional, research, and recreational needs of its clientele.
5.3.2 Resources may be in a variety of formats, including print or hard copy, online electronic text or images, and other media. The availability of CD-ROMs, e-resources and online databases is encouraged to provide alternative options to meet the library users’ requirements, depending on the number of full-text titles/volumes contained therein. Particular consideration shall be given to the availability of Internet services to supplement the library’s collection of information resources.
5.3.3 An initial core collection of 5,000 well-selected books for college libraries, and 10,000 titles for university libraries, usually selected with the aid of standard lists and other selection tools, is deemed necessary to meet the educational needs of students and faculty.
5.3.4 In addition to this core collection, a minimum of five (5) professional titles per student shall be provided. Recognition should be given to changes in curricular offerings, and new academic programs. Equally, recognition should be given to library contributions to consortial or other resource-sharing programs.
5.3.5 In addition to the core book collection, a core periodical collection of current and relevant titles (local and foreign) shall also be provided.
5.3.6 The holdings shall also include an extensive Filipiniana collection to meet the ever increasing demand of users for this type of materials. A comprehensive acquisition of current Filipiniana titles relevant to the school’s curriculum is strongly recommended. It is recommended that this Filipiniana collection be separated from the general collection for purposes of identity, preservation, and functionality of use.
5.3.7 As far as budget permits, the recommended ratio of volumes to combined total student population and teaching faculty should be 10:1. The recommended annual growth rate of the collection shall be maintained at five percent, and in accordance with program offerings and enrollment.

5.3.8 Even if the institution meets the above minimum requirements, it should spend the budget allocated for library materials to further develop and update its resources.
5.3.9 Collection currency and vitality should be maintained through judicious weeding. A regular deselection program shall be undertaken to keep the collection relevant and up-to-date, particularly in the fields of science and technology. A three (3) to five (5) percent replacement of older materials each year is recommended.
5.3.10 Resources may be provided onsite or from remote storage locations, on the main campus and/or at off-campus locations.
5.3.11 The provision of textbooks is not the responsibility of the library but a maximum of five (5) copies of frequently used titles shall be provided. In the matter of reserve books, a provision of at least one copy for every twenty-five (25) students is deemed sufficient.
5.3.12 The library should have a continuing and effective program to evaluate its collections, resources, and online databases, both quantitatively and qualitatively

5.4 Organization and Care of Materials

5.4.1 Collections shall be organized to insure efficient identification and retrieval, and to provide maximum intellectual and physical accessibility to the library and its resources The books shall be catalogued and classified according to an accepted standard of bibliographic description, and a system of classification, like the Dewey Decimal System or that of the Library of Congress. Periodicals shall be indexed.
5.4.2 The catalog shall be in a format (card or electronic) that permits concurrent or simultaneous use by users of the library. In addition to the catalog, there should also be subordinate files, such as subject authority files, shelflists, serial holdings lists, indexes, and the like, for bibliographic control and intellectual access to all library materials.
5.4.3 The library shall provide its own cataloging manual of policies and procedures.
5.4.4 The library shall have a program for the care and preservation of its own collection. It should have adequate safeguards against damage, loss, mutilation, and theft, if it is to serve its primary goal of making its collection available to its users. To reduce loss and damage, the library should exercise appropriate control over use and borrowing.
5.4.5 The library should have a counter-disaster plan to cover minor and major disasters to include both damage prevention and damage recovery.

6. Services

6.1 The services provided by the library shall be clearly related to the purposes of the institution. Generally, the library should provide a variety of services that support and expand the instructional, research and extension service capabilities of the institution.
6.2 The library’s services shall be designed to promote and facilitate efficient and effective use of its materials in all formats by all of the library’s clientele.

What's New in Cataloging: Resource Description and Access

2009-08-28T18:06:00.000-07:00

Resource Description and Access (RDA) is something new to me this month. It was introduced by Mr. Rodolfo Tarlit, UP LIS professor, during the PAARL Seminar-Workshop held last August 26-27, 2009.

RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. Built on the foundations established by AACR2, RDA provides a comprehensive set of guidelines and instructions on resource description and access covering all types of content and media (http://www.rdaonline.org/).

As part of its strategic plan, the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) is working towards a new standard: RDA: Resource Description and Access, scheduled for release at the end of November 2009.

Work on the new standard began in 2004, and in the same year the Committee of Principals for AACR (CoP) appointed Tom Delsey as the Editor. In December 2004 a draft of part I of AACR3 was made available to the constituencies for review. In 2005 a new approach was agreed on, and the decision made to adopt the title: “RDA: Resource Description and Access”. In December 2005, the draft of RDA part I was made available for review. Further drafts of RDA chapters were issued in 2006 and 2007. At the October 2007 meeting, the JSC agreed on a new organization for RDA, see A New Organization for RDA. A full draft of RDA was issued in November 2008.

Each release of a draft of RDA is followed by a period of constituency review. Following the conclusion of the review period, JSC discusses the drafts and all the constituency responses at its next meeting. The decisions taken by JSC and the plans for further action arising from these discussions are communicated as quickly as possible after the meeting in the Outcomes document (http://www.rda-jsc.org/rda.html#background).

IFLA-FAIFE Region 02 Seminar on September 3-4, 2009 at SMU

Dear Colleagues:

The access to the internet has become so easy to every one especially to our information professionals, the librarians, the high school and college students; yet, its use has not always been positive, constructive and valuable to them. Fortunately, guidelines on its access and use have been a continuing concern of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) and the Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE) Committee.

Are There Clear or Specific Standards on Reference Collections?

2009-05-12T06:01:00.000-07:00

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.

Tips on How to Craft Collection Development Policies?

2009-04-03T07:06:00.000-07:00

In crafting your own collection development policies, you need to consider the following:

1. The school's vision, mission goals and objectives (VMGOs). The main purpose of any library is to support the activities of the parent institution.

2. The library's vision, mission, goals and objectives. Policies must be based on the existing VMGOs which also based from the parent institution's VMGOs.

3. The opinion of the constituents. You need to make a survey. In doing this, you are involving in a way your direct clients in the formulation of your proposed policies.

4. The existing collection development standards. Consider the standards of accrediting agencies such as PACU-COA, PAASCU, etc.; government agencies such as Commission on Higher Education, PRC Board for Librarians, etc.; professional associations standards such as ALAP, PAARL, etc.; and even international standards such as ALA, IFLA, etc.

5. The existing collection development policies of other prestigious libraries. The policies of those libraries can be adopted if it will suit to your library.

6. Other internal policies of the parent institution especially on procedures. An example of this is the policy on purchasing which can only be done through bidding.

7. The capability of the library. This may refer to the library budget, administrator's support to the library, etc.

8. The library itself. This refers to the collection, services and other resources of the library.

9. The curricula. Demand is the governing factor in book selection. Materials to be purchased must always be in support of the courses offered by the institution.

Note: Collaborative efforts are far more better than one-man effort.
