Resolution No. 03, Series of 2015

Prescription, Adoption and Promulgation of a National

Competency-Based Standards for Filipino Librarians

(NCBSFL)

A. PERSONAL COMPETENCIES

These competencies are foundational, most of which are

transferable to any workplace. In most situations in life, the graduates’

effectiveness is enhanced by clear communication, strong relationships,

ethical behavior and the flexibility to be a leader, team player and

lifelong learning.

Domains: Communication

Customer Service

Leadership

Lifelong Learning and Personal Growth

Ethics and Values

Interpersonal

Cultural

B. PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES

These competencies relate to the graduates’ knowledge of

information resources, access, technology and management, and

ability to use this knowledge as a basis for providing the highest

quality of information services.

Domains:

A. Managing Information Resources

B. Managing Information Services

C. Managing Information Tools and

Techniques

D. Managing Information Organization

CONCLUSION:

Library associations should provide value-added service to their members. Providing accredited CPD Programs is one way. However, value added service should go beyond CPD.

Library associations should seriously look at making PLAI the Accredited Integrated Professional Organization (AIPO)/Accredited Professional Organization so that it can become an accrediting agency for Filipino librarians just like the Library Associations of Singapore, Indonesia, and the USA and among others.

Global integration will come, whether we like it or not. We cannot escape, so by all means, let us embrace it and use it to our advantage. What we need to do in our professions is to abreast and equipped ourselves to become globally competitive.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

AND

GOOD DAY!
