ISU Librarians Benchmark Excellence at CHMSU in Post-Congress Trip

The librarians from the Isabela State University (ISU) System capped off their attendance at the national congress with a productive benchmarking visit to Carlos Hilado Memorial State University (CHMSU), Talisay Main Campus, on November 26, 2025.

Following their participation in the prestigious Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI) National Congress 2025 held in nearby Bacolod City from November 23-26, the ISU delegation seized the opportunity for an academic side trip. The visit was strategically scheduled on the last day of the congress to maximize their time in the region.

The primary objective of the benchmarking activity was to observe and learn from the best practices implemented by the CHMSU Library System, particularly in areas like library automation, resource management, and innovative user services. CHMSU, known for its commitment to quality and institutional excellence, was an ideal host for the ISU system's delegation, which represents ten campuses across Isabela province.
