Web 2.0: What's in it for us? (Lecture) Mar 5, '08
Information and communication technology (ICT) continues to be one of the main drivers of change in this modern time. The world has become a huge web of networking communities and information use and exchange have taken huge leaps. The current developments in ICT such as the introduction of Web 2.0 are now shaping the face of the web environment. Web 2.0’s features and architecture is now becoming the trend in the design of information and networking systems in the web.
Our knowledge in this new development would be beneficial in ensuring that our work and capacities as librarians and information professionals/specialists will remain relevant in this era of ever- evolving technological paradigm.
Registration fee (inclusive of certificates and snacks is P200 (non-UPLSAA members), P100 (UPLSAA members and graduate students), P50 (undergrad students).

Dec 18, Zyrel, Jho and Family visit the SLIS. Zyrel and Jho Rojo are alumni of the SLIS. We were all in college together with Ate Elvie (yes, Tin, magkasabay kami sa college, hehehe, akala mo hindi kami magkakilala ni Ate Elvie? Kami magkakabarkada nung years na yun nung ILS pa SLIS.)
Hello. Long time no post. Things kinda got hectic this sembreak as you will see in the succeeding posts. My binge and blitz started with the final day for my LIS 263: Systems Analysis and Design masters class last Oct 13, 2007.
I think I put them through a lot so I agreed when they suggested that we have a pot luck party for the final presentation of projects (which, of course, went overtime due to the length of the project presentations). Lots of nice integrated library systems solutions and existing system tweaks were presented.
This one is for the UPLSAA. It's an addition to the 100% Pinoy Librarian shirts sightings in gokitomo.com (multiply blog post link here). The guys wore their UPLSAA shirts on the final day. A fitting tribute to a fine shirt.
And so we went overtime. And as those who've taken classes at the UPSLIS know, when you go overtime and the UP Main Library front entrance closes, the only way to get out of the building is via the side door.
And the only way to get to that door is via the "dreaded spiral staircase". Yup, it's quite dizzying.
Notice the leak stains on the roof. We really have to start with looking for a new building, guys.
It's nice to see how the old and new come together. UPLISSA (I still say the older batches write it as one word and not separate) together with the UPLISSA Alumni Board held A Green Party: UP LISSA at 45 last September 29th, 2007 at the Alumni Cafe, UP Diliman.
A Green Party: UP LISSA at 45 September 29th, 2007, 5-9 PM Alumni Cafe, UP Diliman
It's nice to link up with people you've shared your life with through the years. Different batches of those who were part of UPLISSA through the years came. Of course I was part of the oldest batch (BLS '94 and MLS '99). O_o;; Jeez.
Joanne and Carina of the UPLSAA were there together with my co-teacher Tin of the UPSLIS (all of them ca. batch 2001-02) and Tin's Niyog handbag. Tin's handbag joins the ranks of adorable accessories which include our co-teacher Nats' egyptian wristband.
The twins Marie and Marilou, of the laminated freshman form 5 fame (hehehe, nakalimutan ko na talaga yun, buti pinaalala nyo), Jenskee, Paeng and Shine were also there, as were James, of the sprinkled-fairy-dust on multimedia projects together with cohort Jackie, and Tyran, my old kendo kohai, "non-librarian", all around nice guy and UPLISSA Alumni Board President (ca. batch 2004-07).
Bombshells Iya, Kardia and Karla (pa-correct na lang spelling, ha, :D) sang lots of songs with the great Paul Peña on guitars. Kawawa si Paul, nagmistulang videoke on call. (Alamat ka, Wyndel, alamat ka) :D Later on Iya and Karla would join Kit, UPLISSA's very own K Brosas, for a dance number.
Also part of the agenda was the much-delayed oath-taking of the new set of officers: Glenn, Don, Cyrus, Kit, Laurence and Noel. Ika nga ng isang officemate ko dati: "Keep it up da good work, guys."
Discussions were also the order of the day, topics included programs and plans of the UPLISSA and the UPLISSA Alumni Board, the UPSLIS building fund, academic concerns, et al.
Side discussions also opened up a lot of things. I just got appointed as Coordinator for Alumni Relations of the UPSLIS so I discussed with Tyran and James the possibilities of the UPLISSA Alumni Board coordinating with the UPLSAA. Okay, so this is how I see it, the UPSLIS is growing, so evolution and development on the organization level is happening and it is something you can't stop. Gone are the days when UPLISSA and UPLSAA were the only organizations.
So for students, the UPSLIS-SC (student council) oversees the college student concerns. For alumni, the UPLSAA oversees college alumni concerns. Student organizations now include the UPLISSA and the UP-FLIPP. The archives organization and the wrarians are now inactive (revival, anyone?). So for organizations, the UPLISSA Alumni Board oversees their organizations' alumni concerns. And if UP-FLIPP will have it's own alumni board, I would strongly suggest that they also coordinate with the UPLSAA. Like what I always say, we can accomplish more if we all work together.
Some final side discussions. I was talking with Glenn, Tyran and James on the choice of green as shirt color. Old UPLISSA shirts adopted the college color yellow plus black for use in prints on white shirts. Seems the change happened when UPLISSA sponsored an ACLE with "Sex in Multimedia" as the topic... So the green (minded) stuck. O_o;;
I also pointed out that with the depth of artistic talent in the studentry and alumni, we could do a battle of the SLIS bands benefit concert. Sali ako dyan!
I also suggested to Glenn, Joanne and Carina that we gather all UPLISSA, UP-FLIPP and UPLSAA people in one place. UPLISSA with their green shirts on one side, UPFLIPP with their maroon shirts on the other, UPLSAA blacks for borders and whites in the middle. That would make for one good "UP-ing-UP" and "SLIS-na-SLIS" photo-op. :D Someone agree with me, please!!! (I still say the 90's batches write UPLISSA as one word.) :D
Darn, that shirt is going places... From what I last heard it's nearly sold out. I'm eagerly awaiting for the next design. Paging president Eimee... Andaming nagoorder pa rin ng shirt nyo... :D
Support UPLSAA and Eduk, Inc/ Aklatang Pambata as they help the Rotary Marikina put up their own children's library at their new Community Center in Daang Bakal, Marikina.

One of the projects for the UP Centennial will be the conversion of the existing inner sidewalk along the Academic Oval into The Walk.
"Have your name inscribed in special commemorative tiles surrounding your favorite walkway-the Academic Oval- and show your support for UP Diliman forever."
Okay, so the day started really bad for me. I was supposed to be the emcee and forum moderator for the third lecture of the SLIS 2007 Lecture Series entitled "Promoting Research and Scholarship Through Open Access and E-Publishing" by Ma'am Fides Datu-Lawton. I gave myself a 3-hour head start so I could reach UPSLIS before 10:00 am. But... surprise-surprise, it rained and floods and traffic followed. So the usual 1 1/2 to 2-hour trip stretched for an agonizing 4 hours and 15 minutes causing me to miss the opening remarks and introduction of the guest speaker. Thank you, thank you very much to Ms. Christine Timoteo for filling in for me. I'm so, so sorry Pres. Eimee, I didn't make it in time to set up the camera. :(
Anyway, one high point of my day was listening to Ma'am Fides mention solutions we are going to take up in my classes (I've been itching to try out having the LIS 161 guys set up DSpace in the computer lab). Ma'am Fides' talk slides can be accessed at http://www.slideshare.net/plaistrlc/f-lawton, shoutout goes to Von for locating them! :D
Another high point which made me forget all about the looooooooong and frustraaaaaaaating ride was getting the new UPLSAA SHIRT! Carina reserved one for me.
