This study aims to assess the content management systems (CMSs) of the academic libraries of the top four (4) Philippine universities based on the 2020 QS Asia University Rankings HEIs. In this study, the researchers examined the academic libraries’ websites and the CMSs they were using, the various functions and features, and how it helped in research, learning, and information dissemination especially in this time of the pandemic. Other challenges and advantages of CMS for library website management were also determined. Criteria from various related literature were used to assess their respective CMSs. Based on the analysis, it was found out that all four academic libraries use CMS as a tool such as WordPress, Drupal, Adobe Muse and Microsoft ASP.Net for website management and as software support for web-based applications. SpringShare was also being used as an additional library CMS. Moreover, these libraries found their CMSs as a useful tool for communicating with their library patrons as it is customizable and easy-to-use. Although information related to their services, collections, and policies were already included in their websites, only one library has a dedicated library guide on making use of the library and its services in the new normal. Since their websites alongside their various social media platforms serve as their main communication channel, all four libraries have tried their best to utilize their CMS and ensure that information about collection and services were made available to their patrons in just a click away.Item Open Access ENHANCING THE YOUTH’S INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA(Philippine Association for Media and Information Literacy, 2020-11-07) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access Facts matter: how to get away with infobesity during infodemic(Philippine Association for Media and Information Literacy (PAMIL) and the Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL) Asia Pacific Chapter, 2020-05-15) Yap, Joseph M.As MIL practitioners, we are expected to be critical evaluators of media sources and information, thus this presentation aims to strengthen our skills and attitudes to help us identify and evaluate the legitimacy of the source before we do something about it; exemplify as role models to our students, peers, and family members by acknowledging facts rather than propagate misleading information; and find ways to control infobesity when we are exposed to it.Item Open Access FROM RESEARCH TO PUBLICATION: MASTSLINET ARTICLES AS INPUTS FOR A PROFESSIONAL JOURNAL(Mindanao Association of State Tertiary Schools Library Network (MASTSLiNet), 2021-05-19) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access HUMAN LIBRARY PROGRAMS: ASIAN EXPERIENCE(UIN Sunan Kalijaga, 2021-07-15) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access THE HUMAN LIBRARY: FROM CONCEPTUALIZATION TO IMPLEMENTATION(University of the Assumption Library, 2018-06-05) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access Information Literacy: Teaching and Instructing at a Social Distance(Bicol University Library System, 2020-08-04) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access Information Tools and Open Online Sources: How to Promote What We Harvest?(Western Mindanao State University Library, 2020-06-25) Yap, Joseph M.The promotion of library services and programs can be most effective if library websites and portals are well developed.

Lazaryan, 2020-10-08) Yap, Joseph M.Objectives In these trying times due to the global effect of pandemic, what social media accounts do academic libraries in Kazakhstan maintain and how can they improve their social media engagement to continuously connect with their stakeholders? This report provides an overview of the current status of social media engagement of select academic libraries in Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 crises. This paper will give us a picture about the kinds of online postings shared by these libraries particularly with the use of Facebook. Methods The top two universities ranked by Independent Quality Assurance Agency (IQAA) were considered in this report to compare with the only autonomous organization of education in Kazakhstan. The library social media accounts of these three organizations were investigated to review the number of followers, frequency of posting, and its overall social media engagement. Data collected is publicly available to all potential users, followers, or subscribers. Using the post engagement rate (PER) formula introduced by Socialbakers (2013) and adapted by Peñaflor (2018) & Magno (2016), this report identifies and analyzes the average PER Facebook pages maintained by academic libraries. The engagement metrics looked into the number of interactions and the widest reach possible in every post. All three academic libraries investigated maintain a Facebook page. The other account was just created last February 2020. To compare Facebook data during the pandemic times, public information available from June – August 2020 were measured. Results The social media platforms operated by the academic libraries in Kazakhstan are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VK, and YouTube. One of the earliest academic library Facebook accounts established in Kazakhstan started in 2010 with less than 3,000 accumulated followers after ten years. This shows a very slow rise in the number of followers considering an academic population of more than 5, 000 people in 2020. Data revealed that Eurasian National University Library’s Facebook account had a higher PER of 0.83 even if it only debut in 2020 compared to the Facebook page of Nazarbayev University which garnered 0.22 PER. KAZNU Library’s Facebook page had the highest PER of 1.02. Conclusions Facebook is the most popular social media platform across the globe but it is not the case in Kazakhstan. Library marketing and promotion in Kazakhstan needs to be addressed as public relations is not the primary focus. The utilization of social media as a tool for user engagement is not fully developed. One way to look at it is to consider library staffing and identify their marketing background. The pandemic situation must be the turning point of academic libraries to enhance their reach with their stakeholders. It was a test to know the readiness of the library in terms of online communication and interaction.Item Open Access Marketing library programs, services, and initiatives in time of infodemic(Sri Lanka Technological Campus, 2020-05-29) Yap, Joseph M.Libraries and librarians should not feel complacent in times of pandemic.

The forum aims to promote MIL as a transversal and lifelong learning skill in the modern day.Item Open Access PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH(Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland, 2020-12-09) Yap, Joseph M.The Nazarbayev University Library is committed to re-tooling librarians and specifically its subject librarians (SL) to enhance their competencies in teaching Information Literacy (IL). Collegial support and mentoring are needed to ensure everyone is informed of the new trends and development in IL. With occasional turn-over of library staff, the challenge is to train novice professionals for uninterrupted services. IL modules are currently in place yet there is a need for constant updating to ensure the quality of IL teaching. A review of IL frameworks is needed to provide them with a good foundation. IL supports academic integrity and it should be discussed in the schools and universities as early as possible. This paper will explore the current status of librarians in terms of their working knowledge in referencing and related academic integrity aspects as part of the research process. Professional development programs are constantly developed to strengthen the competencies of librarians. Better library research support will happen if librarians are equipped with the right knowledge and skills.Item Open Access REPUTABLE VS PREDATORY: HOW TO SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?(Nazarbayev University Library, 2022-09-07) Kenzhina, Inesh; Orazymbetova, ZhuldyzAs part of the information literacy initiatives, the NU Library held an Open IL Session entitled Reputable vs Predatory: How to Spot the Difference? on 7 September 2022, Wednesday, 10:30AM - 12:00PM.
