2On the auspicious day of February 11, 2015, the University Libraries, with glee and pride, launched yet another innovation: the USL e-Yearbooks! This is a 7-year long and laborious project that passed through the hands of three men who took charge of digitizing the print collection of yearbooks from 1968-2013.The project has been conceptualized in 2008. Reverend Father Eugene A. Arco, University President, led the crowd in the Untying of the Ribbon during the launching, a new tradition embraced by the University.

Present in the occasion were USL alumni, represented by USLT Alumni Association officers, administrators, employees and students.

As a side event to the launching, Open Browsing was done to accommodate alumni and other people interested in exploring the e-yearbooks. This was preceded by an activity called “e-Yearbook na ‘Yan!” where pictures of USL alumni were flashed and people vied to locate the picture first. Winners received prizes from the organizers.
