From the President’s Desk...

By Rose A. Villamater

Thank you to all officers and members for

the opportunity to give my service and share my

knowledge in librarianship. Let this newsletter be

our tool to inform and reach out.

Quezon Librarians Association is now Librarians

Association of Quezon Province-Lucena Inc. (LAQueP-LInc.)

registered under Security and Exchange Commission last

2008 with SEC No. SEC Reg. No. CN200834450/ TIN 007-

201-279.

LAQueP-Linc provides insightful activities and

innovative ideas for strengthening our membership ties and

involvement in the organization of libraries and development

of library profession. Exploration and discovery of creative

skills spark through library tours to the different libraries.

For this year, we focused on urgent domestic

challenges including the rapid change of technology

affecting our libraries. Library automation is set to the

doorsteps and some libraries who are ready to embrace the

technology are assisted by providing infolib software and

knowledge to handle the program through seminars and fora.

They are also taught how to engage in its updates through the

internet. Customer satisfaction serves as the success indicator

to library services.

With God’s grace, may we continuously unit to

attain our common goals and deepen our commitment to

hold tight to have this association prosper.

Happy 3rd anniversary to all!

Who can take the Who can take the Who can take the Who can take the

Librarians Licensure Examination this 2009?Librarians Licensure Examination this 2009?Librarians Licensure Examination this 2009?Librarians Licensure Examination this 2009?

I heard a lot of questions about who can take the LLE

this 2009. A lot of us was confuse, some says that November

2009 will be the last chance for the BSE major in LS and other

LIS graduates other than the BLIS and MLIS. But based on the

talk of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Peralejo, Board for Librarians during

our class at the University of Philippines, she stressed out that

only repeater and graduates of BLIS, MALIS, MSLIS and MLIS

will be allowed to take the 2009 LLE. Fresh graduates of other

courses (e.g. BSE Major in Library Science) are no longer

allowed.

This clarification was based on the Republic Act No.

9246, Article III. Section 15: The Qualifications of

Applicants for LLE. Based on this section, ” Graduate of Bachelor’s degree in Library Science and Information Science: Provided, that a holder of Information Science shall be allowed to qualify for application to the Licensure examinations. Provided, further, that within five (5) years from the effectivity of this Act (March 16, 2004), holders of the following degrees shall also be allowed to qualify for application to the licensure examination.

1. Bachelor of Science in Education or Elementary Education; or Bachelor of Arts with a major or specialization at least eighteen (18) units in Library Science;

2. Master of Arts in Library Science or Library and Information Science; or 3. Any masteral degree with concentration in Library Science [at least eighteen (18) units].”

The effectivity of that application was on March 16,

2006, and based on that section, they were qualified within five

(5) years from effectivity and that was on March 16, 2009. It

only implies that only BLIS and MLIS graduates and takers

(non-BLIS/MLIS) who failed in the previous years examina-

tion for librarians can take the 2009 LLE. They (BFL) also

regret to announce that they failed to get the extension needed

to enable new graduates of BSE, BSED and AB majors in LIS

to take the licensure examination at least for the last time.

Hope this clarification will put to rest the confusion of

who are allowed to take the board exam this coming November

10-11 2009. Myrna P. Macapia

does not only boast of its 125th founding

anniversary; it takes pride in its long list

of great minds, one of which is by the

name Aurora Alcoreza Navela.

Fondly called as Ma’am Au, Mrs.

Navela is a teacher by nature. She took

up bachelor of Science in Education when

she was still in college and now pursues a

post graduate degree, Doctor of

Education.

From being a classroom teacher,

Ma’am Au ventured into another career

path still closely related to her passion

for the academe. She became a librarian,

first at the Basic Education

Department’s Learning Resource Center

and then at the Higher Education

Department’s Instructional Media Center.

Afterwhich, she was assigned as the

Audio Visual Librarian, and with her

commitment to excellence and hardwork,

For the past 10 years Ma’am Au is the

Institutional Coordinator for SHC’s

Library and Audio Visual Services (Head Librarian).

Aside from her current functions, Ma’am Au continuously

upgrades her knowledge and skill, and does not forget to share

these to others. Just last July, she presented her research paper

entitled “Effectiveness of Library Instruction among Basic

Education Faculty and Students” to the Research & Educational

Development Training Institute at the Filamor Christian College in

Roxas City.

A solid institution such as Sacred Heart College will

definitely count more years and will surely grow even bigger and

better, as long as it has people as brilliant as Aurora Alcoreza

Navela.
