Some topics discussed were marketing strategies on school children libraries, blogging in libraries, overview of archives, IT in public libraries, children’s literature in libraries, and licensure of librarians.

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks and appreciation to the following individuals and organizations who supported and participated in the event:

Hon. Herbert Bautista, Dean Vyva Aguirre, Ms. Zarah Grace Gagatiga, Ms. Emma Rey, Mr. Juned Sonido, Prof. Igor Cabbab, Prof. Edgardo Quiros, and Mrs. Elnora Conti, UP Information Technology Training Center (UP ITTC), New Day Publishers, F&J de Jesus Inc., Fast Books, UP SLIS, and to all participants.

This is just the beginning. See you in the next LIS Congress!
