Aurora Boulevard Consortium Forum on Accreditation

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings of Peace!

The Aurora Boulevard Consortium Libraries Inc. (ABC) would like to invite you to attend a forum ON “RECORD MANAGEMENT: PREPARING ACCREDITATION EXHIBITS, THE ACCREDITORS’ PERSPECTIVE” to be held on, August 26, 2017 (Saturday) from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon at the Training Room - Career Center 2nd Floor Bldg. 1, Technological Institute of the Philippines, 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City.

We believe that this forum is beneficial for the librarians, library support staff and BLIS students who are involved or will be involved in the preparation of accreditation exhibits or documents.

Specifically, the objectives are:

• To inform the participants about the different requirements of each accrediting agency such as PAASCU, PACUCOA & AACUP. 

• To obtain feedback from the participants about their concerns and issues in preparing accreditation documents and exhibits

• To explain the concept of the tools use in accreditation; and

• To provide examples in the light of preparing documents or exhibits for accreditation.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could disseminate this forum information to your fellow librarians, friends, staff, and students.

The Forum Fee is Php350 for professionals, practitioners, faculty members and Php200 for students. Payment includes light snack and certificate.

Thank you for your continued support to the Aurora Boulevard Consortium Libraries.

The Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) organized a Training for Accreditors last May 18-19, 2009 at the Jose Rizal University. Seven (7) out of the 37 participants were librarians and five (5) out of 7 librarians were colleagues from the Southern Tagalog Region. The speaker for Area IV (Library) was Ms. Leonor Tiu of the University of Perpetual Help System-Laguna.

The training included listening to the resource speakers as they discuss the nine (9) areas of accreditation, mocked accreditation visit with JRU basic education program exhibits as source documents for evaluation, ocular visit of the elementary & high school libraries, interviewed school librarian and staff to verify submitted exhibits, answered the self-survey instrument and writing the mocked accreditation report for the library area. Dr. Ma. Christina F. Bate of JRU and PACUCOA Secretary participated in the brainstorming to clarify to the future library accreditors the expected mindset for doing the accreditation. During the critiquing of the written report, the librarians were blessed to be facilitated by no other than Adlai C. Castigador, the PACUCOA Executive Director.

From the handouts given, 28 librarians were listed as accreditors and colleagues from Southern Tagalog region includes Ms Elizabeth Malabanan & Ms Aniline Vidal, both from University of Perpetual Help-Biñan; Ms Elsa Guarino of Lyceum of Batangas University, former Vice-chair of PLAI-STRLC, and Ms Teresita Magbag, formerly Library Director of the Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation and President of Quezon Librarian Association (QLA).
