National Book Week (NBW) 2013 was celebrated with gaiety, joviality and significance combined.  You see these in these events:

1. Author Visit.

Dr. Imogen Callangan came to the University with her coffee-table book “The Transformation of Tuguegarao City”. She talked about her book and her reading and writing experiences. She encouraged the Louisian Stars to read and take advantage of the awesome High School Library.

 

Imagine the depth of University Libraries’ innovativeness and commitment in terms of providing information through online. Unfathomable!
Currently, our University Libraries, through the CICM Consortium is subscribing to EBSCOHOST, INFOTRAC and NatGeo; has free subscription-links to online repositories like institutional databases, magazines & newspapers, reference databases, and online journals containing researches useful to students and faculty researchers.

 

On August 9, 2013, the University Libraries successfully launched the American Collection Area (ACA) and more Electronic Resources. Few days prior launching, the library staff-organizers made a teaser utilizing Minion Rush and 4 Pics 4 Words. The affair was graced by the University Administrators-Dr. Emmanuel James P. Pattaguan and Dr. Delailah B. Valencia, deans, faculty members, personnel and students of the university.
As a backgrounder, a visual presentation on the Online Resources and the American Collection was shown. The highlight of the event was the Cutting of Ribbon for the Online Resources and the ACA ledby Dr. Valencia and Dr. Pattaguan. To add more flavor to the activity, “infoquest” about the Online Resources and ACA was conducted. Prizes were given to students who gave correct answers. Activities like this are a clear indication of the Libraries’ unending quest for collection development whose ultimate aim is bringing information resources at the finger tips of the Louisian readers.
