FOSTERING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN A VIRTUAL LIBRARY INSTRUCTION(Western Balkan Information and Media Literacy Conference 2021, 2021-12-09) Manabat, AprilKeeping students engaged can be considered one of the most challenging tasks in a one-shot library instruction. Given the limited time for these kinds of sessions (usually 50 mins to an hour), it became even more apparent when librarians were forced to teach these sessions in a virtual setup as the pandemic substantially changed the mode of instruction. Fostering student engagement through the introduction of various tools and applications as well as implementing some teaching strategies during the session is now the name of the game and librarians are now expanding their horizons to incorporate these new strategies into their sessions. This presentation documents how students were kept engaged in an online library session conducted at Nazarbayev University (NU) Library. The use of various tools and applications such as Padlet, Quizziz, and Slido were implemented to ensure student engagement. In addition, the experiences of Subject Librarians including the challenges encountered and the ideas for improvement in teaching the sessions were also shared in this presentation.Item Open Access REVIEW OF JUVENILE BOOKSHELVES: THE NU LIBRARY EXPERIENCE(Central Asia Research Forum 2021, 2021-11-05) Manabat, April; Zvonareva, DaryaAcademic libraries constantly respond to the growing information needs of their community members. The principles of inclusion and diversity are fundamental in offering resources and services. The children segment is considered a non-traditional part of the academic community. However, the libraries are committed to their role of supporting literacy, learning, and reading and should address the children's needs and rights to information. In this presentation, we will highlight the children's collection as one of the most important parts of an academic library. We will discuss the development and usage of juvenile literature at Nazarbayev University library. The presentation will consider the programs and services for children and parental members of the NU community. Finally, we will share some concerns and challenges in developing and promoting the children’s collection as well as preparing the programs for children at an academic library.Item Open Access HUMAN LIBRARY PROGRAMS: ASIAN EXPERIENCE(UIN Sunan Kalijaga, 2021-07-15) Yap, Joseph M.Item Restricted CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (CMSS) OF SELECTED ACADEMIC LIBRARIES IN THE PHILIPPINES: TRENDS ON LIBRARY WEBSITE(CONFERENCE ON LIBRARY AND INFORMATION STUDIES 2021, 2021-07) Manabat, April; Factor, Marvin; Maghari, Josephine; Balbas, YugostoThe pandemic has forced academic institutions to make unprecedented use of technology, especially when it comes to research, learning, and information content to students, faculty, and staff. 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 THE HUMAN LIBRARY: FROM CONCEPTUALIZATION TO IMPLEMENTATION(University of the Assumption Library, 2018-06-05) Yap, Joseph M.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 LIBRARY MANAGEMENT IN THE GLOBAL SENSE: SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIBRARIES DURING THE PANDEMIC(University of Santo Tomas, Graduate School, 2021-05-15) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access КУЛЬТУРА ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЯ С ЛЮДЬМИ С ИНВАЛИДНОСТЬЮ(Nazarbayev University Library, 2021-03) Абдыкаимов, Зият; Абдыкаимова, МадинаВ целях содействия развитию инклюзивной культуры в обществе и повышению уровня осведомленности в вопросах инвалидности специалисты Библиотеки Назарбаев Университета разработали настоящее пособие, нацеленное на формирование инклюзивного подхода в оказании услуг и навыков эффективного взаимодействия с людьми, имеющими инвалидность.

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 International Reference and User Services Librarianship(College of Education, University of Santo Tomas, 2020-12-02) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access INTERNATIONALIZING THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY(UPHSL-MLIS, 2020-11-21) Yap, Joseph M.Present tips on how to internationalize academic libraries and librarians.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 Unlocking the Lives of Human Books: Sharing Videos to Inspire People Hiding in the Shadows(UIN Sunan Kalijaga (Presented in 2nd AICONICS), 2020-10-21) Yap, Joseph M.Human books voluntarily share their life stories with readers to let them understand what they are going through and how they survived their struggles. Speaking up may not be easy for them yet their courage to break stereotypes thrown upon them will be much recognized and accepted in an open and decent dialogue. Just like any other library programming events, human libraries are vividly documented in photographs, videos, social media, newsletters, and activity reports. This presentation seeks to explore the role of video sharing sites as a tool to promote library events, specifically human libraries. Existing uploaded playlist videos pertaining to human libraries hosted by academic and public libraries will be the focus of this presentation.Item Open Access Library Promotion and User Engagement in Pandemic Times: The Case of Kazakhstan(Scientific and Technical Library of Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. 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 Information Literacy: Teaching and Instructing at a Social Distance(Bicol University Library System, 2020-08-04) Yap, Joseph M.
