It is important. but isn't it also important to see how people assigned in the library to prove his/her worth? I am a librarian. registered and am in a good position in the library i am working, but then, i have worked with librarians with license, non license and not qualified. But for me, license is important but work responsibility and how you perform it is more important and that's one of my qualification in hiring. documents are needed in the accreditation or audits but in every day work, output and performance is the result of the eagerness to improve in the profession. thank you.

I was in the position prior to RA 6966 and the CSC acknowledge my position status though I can not be promoted for a higher post due to lack of qualification requirements due to librarians professionalization. On the other hand, I just keep going armed with my very excellent work ethics and passion to my work, I share the same sentiments with licensed librarians but sad to say not all licensed librarians understand their functions in this consumer driven world of librarianship. Piece of advise, do not fret much on this issue, I guess, you still have to show your worth/value in the field..then...I am sure, you can debate more about this profession...

In the government agencies, the librarian positions are in status quo, it depends on the plantilla approved by the civil service of a particular agency. This is true to all administrative positions like the Registrar, HRMO, Budget Officer, Accountant, etc. The CS Qualification Standards for librarian positions only ask for basic requirements such as the RA 1080 for Librarians (this refers to librarian's license) for librarian 1 position and at least 2 years exeperience and RA 1080 for College Librarian III position. Unless if a particular agency is elevated say: from a school to a state college, a School Librarian III (receiving a salary grade 12) shall be re-classed to a College Librarian III (receiving a salary grade 18)position if she can meet the basic requirements. It is true that last July,2009 salary increase for government workers, the Librarian 1 position is given a one-step higher that is from salary grade 10 to salary grade 11 but all other librarian positions were not given the same opportunity. Why? What is the reason behind this? Why only the librarian I position is given such opportunity? Unlike the Faculty in State Colleges and Universities that their credentials are being evaluated every 3 years in their NBC 461 and being ranked according to their accomplishments/achievements. Same also with the Elementary and Secondary School Teachers that they have the PAST (Performance Appraisal for School Teachers). Hope that the BFL can look into the sentiments of the librarians. If we cannot be like the Faculty that they are evaluated and are ranked/promoted according to their achievements,at least all librarian positions in the government shall be given more steps higher, not only 1 but 5 or 10 steps higher. Say, if you are holding a salary grade 10, will become salary grade 15 or 20, because our work is very complex. We do administrative/managerial, teaching functions,clerical, technical, and some are even doing janitorial works in a day's setting in the library plus the accountabilities that we have. And if we cannot be given more steps higher, then, we can be promoted like the Faculty based on our qualifications and achievements. Hope these sentiments shall be given attention by the proper authorities. From: Myrna C. Halim <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 8:40:21 Subject: [FilipinoLibrarians] YES, it's more than ten years librarians are not given due considerations like other professions. Librarians in government agencies are even burdened with accountabilities. We signed AREs as accountable officials for the materials we serve to clientele, while other professions they sign for a fee. Similarly, BFL should coordinate with DBM since our promotion cannot be approved if there is no available item for librarians in the agency. My case is, I am a Librarian's eligible in 1982 and converted the same to PRC License which was approved in 1994. I serve as College Librarian I for 21 years, reached the ceiling of step 8 in 1997. I am deprived of a promotion despite my MLS and MPA degrees, recently finished the academic requirements for a PhD in Philippine Studies. Likewise, I am deprived of the longevity incentive every three years of permanent tenure since I reached step 8 due outstanding and very satisfactory ratings because DBM has not approved our promotion. Another irony is the giving of incentive to board positions by promoting one rank higher in terms of pay for Librarian I or Accountant I. To my dismay, College Librarian I was not included, when it is a fact that this position can only be occupied if one is licensed like Librarian I and the like. Even if I did not take the board for librarian, I was exempted because of my Librarian's, Teacher's, and Civil service eligibilities before RA 6966 was enacted. It is anticipated that my sentiments be heard and given due justice like all others on the same boat as I do. Thank you for opening this issue. Librarians should be recognized as important instrument to achieve the thrust for academmic excellence. _________________________________________ Mindanao State University - Iligan Campus Visit us at http://www.msuiit.edu.ph/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Filipino Librarians" group.
