Dear Colleague(s), 

Warm greetings! 

In celebration of the Library and Information Services Month, the Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians, Inc. (PAARL) is pleased to invite you to its 5th Marina G. Dayrit Lecture Series 2015 on Librarians as Researchers with the theme Recognizing Best Researches: A Colloquium on Philippine Libraries and Librarianship to be held at Career Center Training Rooms 1 & 2, 2nd Floor, Bldg.1 of Technological Institute of the Philippines, Cubao, Quezon City on Monday, November 23, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Filipino librarians have remarkably crossed the border drawn between being custodians of knowledge into becoming generators of knowledge. From service to service and research, librarians of today are gradually realizing their significant role in the knowledge society by conducting research and disseminating results to benefit the profession at large. 

The concluding activity in our MGDLS 2015 lecture series, named in honor of our founding president, Ms. Marina G. Dayrit, is a colloquium highlighting researches of the three finalists in the PAARL Best Research Awards. These researches will also be published in the PAARL Research Journal. Authors of said papers shall present their research results, which aims to further usher in learning outcomes and practical applications where forum participants could benchmark from.

3rd NOCEI Research Forum

The 3rd NOCEI Research Forum was held last October 19, 2007 at the San Pablo Colleges. The forum's theme was "Strengthening the Research Culture of Higher Education Institutions in CALABARZON".

A total of 40 research papers were presented in 5 simultaneous parallel session in the afternoon session while the morning session was devoted to the opening program and plenary talks of the two resource speakers.

Permission to post the power point presentations of the two plenary resource speakers were granted for the information of other stakeholders in our institution who were not able to attend said forum and to jump start the "research culture" being envision by NOCEI.

Dr. Normita A. Villa, SVP for Academics and Research of First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities (FAITH) talked about the "Emerging Roles of Universities and their Implications for Research" while Dr. Renato C. De Castro, Associate Professor of the Department of International Studies of the College of Liberal Arts of De La Salle Univeristy (DLSU) talked about "Academic Publishing : Challenges and Opportunities".

As librarians, who are the predominant viewers of this site, we must be attuned to what our faculty colleagues are doing in order to proactively anticipate their information requirements and as "Research in Librarianship" is also actively encouraged in our own community, we may learn a thing or two from the power point presentations
