🌟 PROUD MOMENT FOR OUR LIBRARY! 🌟
We celebrate Nathan Lorenzo D. Lagamayo, our very own librarian, for representing the Medical and Health Librarians Association of the Philippines (MAHLAP) Board of Trustees as one of the official presenters at the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI) Congress 2025! 📚✨
With this year’s theme, “PLAI BRIDGES: Borderless. Research-based. Innovative. Developmental. Global. Equitable. Sustainable.”, they delivered their research titled:
🔍 “Library 5.0 and the Future of Librarianship: Measuring Perception and Readiness of Medical and Allied Health Librarians in the Philippines”
Their work (co-authored with Ms. Mariella DC. Dorado from DLSU) highlights the crucial role of research-based practices in empowering libraries to adapt, innovate, and create meaningful impact—especially in the fields of medicine and allied health. Through this study, they contribute to the nationwide conversation on future-ready libraries and the evolving competencies of Filipino librarians.
Representing our institution, the Nicanor Reyes Jr. Medical Library, and MAHLAP with pride, they helped advance one of the Congress’ core goals: sharing evidence-based library experiences in organizing, acquiring, disseminating, and providing access to information.
📘👏 We couldn’t be prouder of Nathan’s dedication, scholarship, and commitment to shaping the future of librarianship.
Let’s celebrate this achievement and continue supporting research that brings our profession forward! 💚✨
