Events

The UPLISSA plays an integral role in the development of its members by providing them the means and opportunities to serve the school, university and the country through its various activities. As an academic organization, the UPLISSA is committed to the betterment and empowerment of the LIS profession through various undertakings both internally in the organization and externally for students, professionals and the greater public.

The Lib Code Campaign

The Lib Code is a campaign that promotes librarianship as a profession. It aims to inform people on the importance of the roles of librarians in every day life, from the simplest scenario of trying to find your favorite book to exploring more ways to discover the rest of the universe. The librarian is involved in everything, everywhere, in every lifetime.

It also promotes librarianship as a growing modern career, that librarians are not confined within the walls of the library but are socially active under the foundations of information and technology. The Lib Code is a reminder that librarians existed, exists, and will continue to exist for as long as there are questions that remain to be answered. Live the code. The Lib Code.

To learn more about the campaign, please visit the The Lib Code website at www.thelibcode.org.
