Congrats Ms. Verzosa!!! It was a serendipity to find an article by Andrew Booth (2008) 'Using evidence in practice', Health Information and Libraries Journal 25(1)74-77 where the whole article was devoted to reviewing the keynote speech of Fe Angela M. Verzosa at the PLAI-STRLC Seminar-Workshop on ‘Research in Librarianship: Challenges, Competencies, and Strategies'(9–10 October 2007).
The article echos the conclusion of Ms. Verzosa's speech which I copied here: In bridging such similar challenges, faced by North and South alike, we can in fact do little better than to conclude with Ma’am Versoza that: ‘if research has an important role in understanding the needs to which libraries should be responsive,and if librarians need to conduct research in order to better assess the effectiveness of their approaches to delivering library services, then librarians and other LIS professionals, including the agencies responsible for educating them, and their employing institutions, should be more attentive to such a critical activity as library research.’ Nora A. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Filipino Librarians" group.
