and provincial seminars

AEA Director Sonia Gementiza has been very busy these days.
First, she was invited by the Philippine Association of Academic and
Research Librarians to talk about “Information Commons: Creating New
Library Spaces, Enhancing Access to Digital Sources, and the Future of
the Reference Desk” on April 23-25 at San Jose, Puerto Princesa City.
Her lecture looks at the trends that will better prepare librarians and
other information professionals in the next wave of societal, cultural
and technological changes in providing effective and efficient services
in libraries and information centers.
Gementiza also spearheaded the Network of Calabarzon
Educational Institutions’ 2nd Regional Seminar-Workshop on “Library 2.0:
Challenges and Prospect for Information Professionals” on May 16-17
at the AEA Luis Aguado Viewing Room and Electronic Resource Services
room. She also discussed “Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC): New
Direction in Library and Information Services” on May 17.
She also then organized a Seminar-Workshop on Basic Library
Management held on May 26-28, 2008 at the Old Session Hall, Provincial
Capitol, Trece Martires City. The three-day seminar-workshop was an
outreach program of the Cavite Librarians Association, Inc. where she
was installed as the new president after the resignation of Connie
Permanejo of Cavite State University.
And finally, she served as a resource person
for Electronic Information Solution’s “13TH MARC 21
Workshop ‘Reloaded’” at St. Louis College-La Union,
Lingsat, San Fernando City on May 29-30
In spite of her day-to-day work as director of
Aklatan and writing research proposal for her doctoral
degree, Gementiza carried out all of these activities
successfully. When asked how she did all of these
things, she said, “My desire to share knowledge to my
fellow librarians and love for the profession inspired
me to do all of these.”
