INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE, 38th Anniversary Celebration of PAARL, Inc.
by Mr. Edwin Santiago
Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Services and University Registrar , DLSU
38th PAARL Annual General Assembly and
Induction/Awarding Ceremonies
28 January 2011, 8:00am
National Library of the Philippines
The Chairperson of the Board of Librarians of the Professional Regulation Commission, Ms. Corazon Nera, and board members Ms. Mila Ramos and Ms. Arabella Ananoria; The Board of Directors, past presidents and members of the Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians, led by outgoing president Mr. Christopher Paras; The representatives of the different library associations in the Philippines;
Dear librarians and guests, a pleasant good morning.
Cicero was quoted to have said, “To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.” In the same vein, we could also claim that libraries are the heart of our educational institutions, the lifeblood, for they feed the mind and nourish our spirit with knowledge and information.
Which is why it is our personal joy as an administrator that the De La Salle University Library is under our supervision as part of the Academic Services Group. We get to be familiarized and involved in its initiatives that contribute to the university’s mission-vision of being “A leading learner-centered research university, bridging faith and scholarship in the service of society, especially the poor”
The dedication of our De La Salle University librarians to this profession is evidenced by the activities and projects it is undertaking to continuously improve their services and proactively respond to the needs of the university community. In terms of personal development, our library personnel recently participated in the Seminar on Quality Service Management upon their return from the holiday break early this month.
Last year, the university library started accepting payments for fines and printing via the electronic card GreenPurse. It also converted the Cybernook into Cafe@theLibrary, operated by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Library. In addition, it will soon launch a 24/7 Tele-Reference Service through Text Messaging.
For sure, your respective libraries have also been undergoing changes in this Web 2.0information technology-driven academic environment. The PAARL series of seminars and fora are very important sources of how to adapt and adopt to these online systems, and how to constantly improve library services. It is to your credit that libraries are not becoming obsolete but are moved to the forefront in the collection, organization, and dissemination of knowledge.
The election of Mr. Roderick Ramos as your new PAARL president is a timely and fitting contribution for the De La Salle University Centennial celebrations this 2011. As such, we wish to take this opportunity to invite you to visit our library, and you will definitely get a very warm welcome from Erick.
Please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to be physically here with you due to unforeseen personal circumstances.
Congratulations to the new PAARL Board of Directors. Thank you.

February 18, 2011 FACE2FACE: FINDING YOUR BALANCE IN HANDLING DIFFICULT LIBRARY CUSTOMERS
31 January 2011
Dear Colleague (s),
Warm greetings from PAARL, Inc.!
The Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians, Inc. (Fully Engaged, Member-Driven Association) in cooperation with Miguel de Benavides Library, University of Santo Tomas, is pleased to invite you to an afternoon forum themed on “FACE2FACE: FINDING YOUR BALANCE IN HANDLING DIFFICULT LIBRARY CUSTOMERS.” This professional activity will be held on February 18, 2011, 1pm @ the Conference Hall of the Miguel de Benavides Library of UST, España, Manila.
Is it customer-centric if I always listen to an angry client? How do I establish good library-customer chemistry? When do I say sorry? Should I or not? Do we gain some appropriate public relations with Singapore’s S-E-R-V-E Model in handling multicultural library customers? Listen, be assisted, and interact face2face with an experienced expert in a forum where attendees get a bigger understanding of CRM and acquire the needed balance prior, during and after a challenging library encounter with the most valued, the library patron.
Also @ 11am, participants are invited to (free only to forum participants) a major book exhibit entitled: LUMINA PANDIT : an Exhibition of Historical Treasures which displays the precious and significant collections of books and other materials accumulated through the years. The exhibit also reflects the growth of our nation and is prepared in celebration of the 400th year anniversary of the foundation of the University of Santo Tomas.
There is a registration of Php300.00 for members, Php350.00 for non-members and Php200.00 for students to cover the snacks and certificates. For reservation and details, please contact the undersigned or any of the Association’s officers and directors.
With your renewal and application of membership (fees: Php200.00, individual; Php500.00, institutional) for 2011, an ID is issued plus a 2011 PAARL souvenir pin is given to each individual who registers. Come @ the Miguel de Benavides Library, UST and be the first to get one.

Inaugural Address of the 33rd President of PAARL, Inc.
BFL Chair Mrs. Corazon M. Nera; Honored guests, Members, Colleagues and Friends:
To Be or Not To Be
This famous line of William Shakespeare has often been applied to dilemmas confronting decision-makers faced with a dichotomous choice, only one of which should be acted upon (Berino, 2008).
I and my household are honored to have been installed as the 33rd president to PAARL, Inc. When I was 30, I only wanted to have a wife and kids and build a family of my own. But since I got enmeshed and eventually became the president to PNULISAA, Inc. I started to be engaged from being a public relations officer to conference chair/vice president from 2006 to 2008 with Library Customer Care, Information Literacy Power Packages, Web-based Reader Services as my contribution to the nation’s continuing professional education for librarians and libraries through “A Caring Alumni Group’” and that is, PNULISAA, Inc. Its members and patrons plus a circle of 10 good leaders, namely: Elnora Conti (Far Eastern University), Placida Socorro Limpin (Australia), Medel Vincent Bautista (Xavier School), Evelyn Nabus (Colegio San Juan de Letran), Consuelo Estigoy (E. Joson Memorial Colleges), Medina De Castro (Sta. Isabel College), Estela Montejo (Ateneo de Manila University), Jocelyn Ladlad (De La Salle University), Marites Chavez (Congressional High School) and Arturo Morales (DILG-LGU), who are the Association’s strong pillars, support me, backing me up in each professional activity I indulge in. Also, I share this honor to my professor-advisers from the Philippine Normal University: Dr. Linda M. Tayona, Prof. Ruben P. Marasigan, Prof. Miguel M. Cobaria and Dr. Maria A. Orendain. To my one personal guest, Ms. Zenaida S. Andres, school administrator from St. Louis College of Valenzuela, Ms, Annabelle L. Aliwalas (immediate superior @ DLSU) and the library personnel of De La Salle University.
As PAARL President, in the same way Ms. Fe Angela M. Verzosa (2000 and 2004 president) iterated, I also would like to see our Association going stronger and best attuned to the needs of our members, in the advancement of their professions in academic and research workplaces. In the recent posts in e-groups, you were able to see my personal service brand replacing I am PAARL (used as P.R.O in 2009) and PAARL, Inc., Every Librarian’s Association (used as conference chair in 2010), now be pleased to read, hear from time to time a new service brand, referring to PAARL Inc. as FULLY ENGAGED, MEMBER-DRIVEN ASSOCIATION.
I also believe that service brand acceptance must be earned with a good product and regular promotion and it is very fitting to use this year in specific communications bearing the new brand for services and products PAARL will facilitate and sell as one FULLY ENGAGED, MEMBER-DRIVEN ASSOCIATION.
As leader of a DREAM TEAM composing of power team players from DLSU-Dasma represented by Sonia Gementiza; UP-Diliman, Sharon Ma. Esposo; Ateneo Professional School, Sonia Lourdes David; UST, Cecilia Lobo; TIP-QC, Sonny Boy Manalo; CEU, Victoria Baleva; Ateneo de Manila University, Matet Villanueva; San Juan De Letran, Carolyn De Jesus; and, Global City College, Christopher Paras, I would like to lead PAARL as a stress-free library organization while aimed at developing more professional competencies through quality, customer-oriented services resulting to satisfied clients and good Association’s image utilizing not only acquired conceptual and technical skills but also human-related skills (as was explained when we had our planning in Tagaytay last January 8.
I subscribe to what Ms. Elvira Lapuz (this year’s Professional Service Awardee) shared projected in the screen through e-beam technology- in Tagaytay planning, January 8. She emphasized PRIORITY NEEDS:
1. Increase advocacy and marketing of the Association;
2. Develop and manage the Association’s financial resources;
3. Increase membership; and,
4. Develop future leaders and advocates.
PAARL 2011 Calendar of Activities was prepared because of these priority needs (see activities below)
If you think there is a need for PAARL to register at IFLA and be a member under its ORGANIZATION CATEGORY, push and drive us to make it happen. If you think WONDERFUL Batanes is worth every single centavo for an outreach, book a flight now, bring a book, a bag or a box of books and periodicals and join us in December. We had HELLO Singapore last October with 34 participants, feel a deeper sense of belongingness with PAARL, bond with your board of directors and member-joiners and benchmark with our EXCITING HONGKONG LIBRARY TOUR & BENCHMARKING this October.
Do you want some more? Be engaged with PAARL now! I look forward to hearing from you, receive e-mail notices, phone calls & invites, video surprises, blog write-ups with your, YES! Count me in…
