A name and subject index to the World War II documents on the Panay guerrilla resistance movement at the Central Philippine University Library Lopez, Perla H. The Central Philippine University collection of World War II documents on the Panay resistance movement consists of almost 217 bound volumes of unsorted documents compiled and bound as they were acquired by the library. These documents include circulars, directives, orders, proclamations, letters, etc. issued by leaders of the armed guerrilla units or those of the civil resistance underground movement, during the darkest days of the Japanese years from 1942 to 1945. Although the arrangement of the documents by volumes presupposes an order that would render location of the documents relatively easier than when these documents are just filed in a tumbled fashion, nevertheless this arrangement still presents a searching and retrieval problem especially when there is no idea in which particular volume some needed information can be found. Searching into this vast collection of unclassified documents requires some tools which would guide researchers in locating the information they need. One of the tools which facilitates document research is the index. As a continuation of the index to the first nineteen volumes in the collection which was prepared by a library staff member of the Central Philippine University, this work aims to provide a name and subject index to volumes 20 to 50 of the collection. In two parts, the entries in the index are mainly by name and subject arranged in alphabetical order. The volume number, document number, date of issuance of the document, and page number are indicated for both the name and subject entries. Background information on Panay Island in general and of the guerrilla resistance movement in particular precede the index. Abstract only

Professional library associations in Central and Western Visayas: Their contributions to the development of librarians and librarianship Gonzales, Hinie Solidum This study traces the historical development of the professional library associations in Central and Western Visayas from its organization up to the year 1983, and to determine whether or not these associations contribute to the development of librarians and librarianship. The objectives of the study are: 1. to provide information to the respective professional library associations on whether or not their programs and activities contribute to the development of the librarians and librarianship in the regions under study; 2. to help faculty and school with the library science program in order to inculcate in their student’s heart and mind the importance of affiliating to a professional library association; 3. to assist the national library association in determining the needs for the development of librarians and librarianship in these regions and to have programs and activities geared towards these needs; and, 4. to enlighten professional librarians in all regions that they cannot develop their social and intellectual functions in their own capacities as individuals without their affiliation to a library association and that active membership is an indication of professionalism. Findings of the study revealed that the associations were able to provide fulfillment in the two levels of man’s needs - the (1) belonging and social needs 2) esteem and status as described by Maslow. The member-librarians of this association experienced continuous education through seminar-workshops that had enhanced the self-esteem and status fulfillment of one’s potential skills in their fields of expertise as professional librarians. It was found out that much of the successes or failures of the library associations’ program and activities lay upon the association officers and the whole-hearted support of the bona fide members of the said association. The result of this study presented some recommendations and suggestions for the furtherance of the successes in the objectives of the association, program and activities. The following are the recommendations: 1. The association should write a short term or long-range plan to guide them in their future activities in the attainment of their objectives. (Philippine Library Association, Inc. (PLAI) plans are recommended to be followed specially in planning various activities of the different sectors of the association membership). 2. The library association should be more active in its professional endeavors. 3. The association should consider its members’ specific needs and interest as the first priority in planning and implementing the activities. The contents of this plan would not only be intended for those who were not formally trained librarians but, for those who are professional librarians as well. 4. Library Association Officers should provide every member a copy of its constitution and by-laws to make them aware of their respective obligations; thus, encouraging them to be actively supporting the programs and activities of the said association. 5. The library association should have a constant communication between the officers and members, through any form of information dissemination in order to hold and help increase the involvement of group member.

A study of student assistant programs of university libraries in the Visayas Caintic, Zenaida L. At no other time in the history of education have there been major developments as there are today. One of these developments can be seen in the change of student attitude. Gone are the days when students meekly sat in classrooms and accepted everything that their teachers said. The picture today has changed completely. Students are clamoring more and more for their rights as well as expressing their desire to be "more involved". This study is about students, not about students in general, but about a group that has been referred to as "working students". It is, however, limited to those students who work in university libraries. At a time when students throughout the country are agitating for more personal involvement, this writer deems it appropriate to look into the role a working student might have in the management of university libraries. In the United States today, student assistants play an important role in library service. School administrators accept them as "colleagues, as companions in learning". Workshops and conferences are held by student assistants. One held in 1970 was the Third Leadership Conference in Durham, New Hampshire, where some 140 library aides from 10 Eastern States met to exchange experiences and thresh out problems in connection with their work. In the Philippines, the situation has not yet reached the stage where students are accepted as colleagues and companions in learning. However, their role as student assistants in the efficient operation of libraries is recognized. According to Cottam, it is doubtful that any library, as a major resource for teaching and learning, can reach a maximum level of service without full utilization of the capabilities, opinions, talents, and background of capable student assistants, in addition to full-time staff. Duties in libraries are usually classified into two categories, namely: professional and nonprofessional. The professional duties are those performed by professional librarians—that is, holders of library science degrees. On the other hand, nonprofessional duties are clerical and routine in nature and do not have to be performed by professional librarians; these can be discharged by clerks and student assistants. The diagram in Figure 2 shows the general library set-up and the place of student assistants in the overall organization of the library. Departmental librarians are those in charge of unit libraries, like law, engineering, commerce, and other units. Librarians in functional departments are those in charge of such functions as cataloging, reference, circulation, and so forth. This study was conducted to determine the policies, procedures and practices in recruiting and training student assistants in the university libraries in the Visayas; to know the problems which beset student assistants in their work; and to find solutions to these problems.
