(22 Jul 2020) An official of Professional Regulatory Board for Librarians pointed out Wednesday that there are more than 70 library schools nationwide after the head of the National Library of the Philippines wrongly claimed librarianship courses are not offered outside Metro Manila.
The head of the National Library is not a licensed librarian.
“[T]here are more than 70 library schools in the country, and increasing because BLIS (Bachelor of Library and Information Science) and MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science) are priority programs of CHED (Commission on Higher Education) and as such provides scholarships to deserving students,” said Lourdes David, member of the PRC Board for Librarians, in a statement posted on Facebook.
