LIBRARY MANUAL UPDATE

"𝙄𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩."

In 2022, the Office of the Library Services began revising the 2017 library manual as part of the quality objectives for the 2023 academic year. However, this goal remained unmet for two years. The revised manual was first presented at the Library Services Advisory Board (LSAB) meeting in 2023, with its cover page later receiving approval from the Branding Committee. Following further reviews, the manual was presented and approved during the CDD meeting with both the LSAB Committee and ADCO.

After nearly two years of effort, we have reached a sweet victory—the revised library manual has finally been completed and approved. This milestone marks the culmination of dedication, collaboration, and perseverance, ensuring that the manual aligns with the Office of the Library Services' Quality Objectives. The 131 pages of the manual serve as a comprehensive guide, reflecting our commitment to excellence in library services. This revision provides valuable information and establishes a legal framework for the seamless operation of the library. By ensuring that the library operates within the parameters of applicable laws and regulations, it solidifies the institution's credibility and reliability in supporting the academic community.

Like a well-nurtured plant yielding a bountiful harvest, this accomplishment stands as a testament to the patience, hard work, and shared vision of the entire team.
