ABSTRACT
This study is a five-year library development plan
designed for Mountain State Agricultural College.
Its
basic objective is to design an integrated library de­
velopment plan for the Mountain State Agricultural
College \\olhich will serve as an essential guide for the
librarian and the administrators in preparing the l i ­
brary to assume its supportive role for the projected
state university.
The study is initiated by a library assessment
inventory, which includes an examination ~f existing
records and documents related to Mountain State Agri­
cultural College and the library, surveys of the exist­
1..g collection, staff and physical facilities". interviews
with faculty members and administrative officials and
the administration of a survey questionnaire through
random sampling of students and faculty members.
The geographical setting of the institution; its
physical features, area and people, climate and vege­
tation and natural resources are presented in Chapter
II for background.
A historical sketch of the Mountain State Agri­
cultural College; its resources, objectives and othe~
programs are given in Chapter III.
Likewise, the en­
rolment trends-past and projected, and the general con­
trol and organization of the college itself are included.

Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
The Philippines is on the threshold of chanQe~
The N~w Society places n2tional development as para­
mount in the order of priorities.
All segments of
socioty are enjoined to assist the governm~nt in im­
proving the aspects of national life.
People want better life, better health, better
opportunities for themselves and the members of their
families, greater access to the knowledge and beauty
of the wor d, greater sense of control over their
own destiny, relief from drudgery and most of all
acceptance of the society where they live.
The
attainment of all these depends to some extent on the
increase of agricultural production.
Agricultural schools contribute to the agri­
cultural development of the country~
This is very
evident in the more progressive nations of the world.
Schools are known to be the pip21ine and sources of
new knowledge and techniques.
To be more effective L
however, the training of students of agricultural
schools should be geared to t'E requirements of na­
tio~ 1 programs parL'cular y on agricultural pro­
ductivity~
The Mountain State Agricultu al College, at
present, is in the midst of preparations to become
a state universitYb
As such, development plans have
to be envisioned in all aspects.
It is therefore

St3 2 ent of the Problem
The study focuses on "A Five-Year Development
Program for Mountain State Agricultural College
Libraries".
It starts with an appraisal or evaluation
of the actual conditions of the library and its ser­
vices.
The writer, having been appointed chief li­
brarian, believes that the Mountain State Agricul­
tural College _ibraries should be studied to bring
to light the things that have to be done to make the
library more effective for service G
The study is undertaken to design an integrated
developm~n
plan for the Mountain State Agricultural
College Libraries, in La Trinidad, B0 nguet, for a
~ive year p~riod from 1978-1983, which will serve as
the basic guide for th~ librarian and the college ad­
ministrators in prepa~ing the library to assume its
su portive ro10 for
1 ~ projected state university~
Specifically, the stUdy alms to:
a)
Determine the strengths and weaknesses of
the library as regards to the collections, services,
facilities and staff in re12~jon to the objectives
of Mountain State Agricultural College,
b)
Make an over-all appraisal of library
administration and recommend appropriate actions for
purposes of developing the library as an effective

c)
Assess the financial support provided to
the library within the past five years in terms of
its adequacy in securing necessary materials, staff
and physical facilities.
Consequently, financial
support requirem2nts including a five-year projection
estimate will be made and submitted for consideration
to the college administrators,
d)
Determine the basic books/periodicals re­
quirements of the Mountain State Agricultural College
Libraries, in relation to the various course offerings
and pinpoint priority areas which require immediate

Emphasis on agricultur31 education is one of
the thrusts of the New Society.

in the Philippines have long been cognizant of the
importance of teaching research and updating of know­
ledge and expertise of both the students and faculty
members.

For a college of agriculture to carry effec­
tively its avowed functions of instruction?, research
and extension, i t needs among other things a l i ­
brary with a basic core collection of agricultural
books and good number of periodicals, both local
and foreign.
This study may sGrve as a useful guide to other
agricul tural librari~!'P who may be planning to develop
their respGctive agricultural libraries.
However,
the study will be most useful to Mountain State Agri­
cultural College itself, as it will serve as the
main strategy of the proposed expdl sion to a state

This study will be li~ited to the preparation
of a library development program for Mountain State

The proposed organization structure is the
result of a careful analysis and consideration of

The proposed Mountain State Agricultural College

According to Pings,l our libraries must change
to serve as useful institutions.
New objectives
must be found that are consistent with our technolo­
gical society.
We must create measuring instruments
which can demonstrate the value of libraries as so­
cial agencies; without such instruments they cannot
successfully compete for manpower and financial re­
sources~

James Govan
states that rapidity with which
library services are changing today has necessitated
another approach to community analysis in academic
libraries.
The library should respond as the facul­
ty integrates audiovisually supported instruction
into the curriculum, as application of the computer
to its services becomes available and beneficial or
as the addition of subject specialists on its staff
can m~et a need of its community.
For collection development, there are several

program, including its acquisition procedures and
most import~nt, its selection methods.

THE PROVINCE OF BENGUET AND LA TRINIDAD
A PROFILE
The province of 82nguet came into being on
June 18, 1966 by virtue of Republic Act No. 1695,
sponsored jointly by Congressman Andres A~ Cosalan,
Luis Hora, and late Juan M. Duyan which provides:
Section 1.
Mountain Province is hereby divid­
ed into four provinces to be known as Benguet,
Mountain Province, Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao.
Section 2.
The Province of Bnnguet shall com­
prisp ~hG sub-province of B~nguet and the municipa­
lities of Tuba, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Atok,
Bokod, Kabayan, Kapangan, Mankayan, and Buguias*
Physical Features
Benr'luet lies southernmost in ~che region of .iche
Mountain Provinces
She is bounded on the south
0
by Pangasinan, on th~ east by Ifugao and Nueva V~-­
caya, on the north by Mountain Province (Bontoe)
and on the west by La Union and Ilocos Sur~
The
province is insulated from both the lowlands al~
the sea.
Of all the Mountain Provinces, she fits
most a:)propriately into the appelation, moun-taiL
province.
B~nguet is a plateau, a mass of elevated land.

She has qr8at special agricultural potentiality on
account of this fact.
All the rivers of Benguet
drain into China Sea, whereas the drainage of the
other Mountain Province is mostly to the Pacific
Oceano
Mountains rise from the table land itself.
The
second highest ~ountain in the Philippines, Mount
PuLl.g! a few feet lmver than Mount Apo is in Benguet.
Other high mountains are Tabayao, Panutoan, Osdung:
Paoay, Pack Singkalas, Stop Tomas, Data and Ugu
rising thousands of feet above sea level,
The area is cut up by numerous valleys among
which may be mentioned La Trinidad, Sablan, Galiano,
Bued, AgnOr Amburayan, Tuboy and upper Abra after
which the corresponding rivecs draining these
sys­
tems are namE::d o
It is an interesting fact also that Benguet is
dotted "lith hot springs, at least one of which is
found in almost every municipality.
The Halsema
Roa0, 95 kilometers of which are in Benguet, tra­
verse the province from south-north and is almost
entirely asphalted.
Cll1""te
In r~infall, the province of Benguet has the
climate of t,he western half of the Philippj,:c
archip2J_ago wh,ich l"as two distinct seasons of equal

duration, namely the wet and the dry, both pro­
nounc(-:d,
As a tableland, hovJever; because of the
cool heights, prec ipitntion is heavier in the Ben­
guet highlands than in the lowlands of the Ilocos
Coast and the Central Luzon provinces.
Moreover
becaus~
j

of its position, Benguet is
more infl uc'~ced by the southwest than the northeast
monsoon n
The rainy season in Benguet accordingly
star~s in June and ends in late October or early
Novem~0r.
The Sierra Madre range along the east
coast of Luzon and the mountains of Pulag, Tabayao,
Kapiligan, Calawitan and Polis of the Cordillera
Central bar the northwest monsoon from dousing Een­
guet during the winter months.
Rid of their moisture burden, nevertheless,
the cool winter winds from Siberia wastes breathe
down the length of the Mountain Provinces, giving
rise to chilly weather from November to March.
At
the high~r altitudes, frost carpets small land basins
above 8,000 feet from sea levelo
Vegetation
While Benguet has no seacoast, it is never­
theless true that it has dominion over palm and
pine.
The foot hills toward the coast of Lingayen
Gulf are warm enough to have lowland vegetation.
From approximately 3}000 feet above sea level}

undisturbed highland vegetation would cover all
hill and mouritain sides as well as hill and moun­
tain tops.,
A so-called pine belt extends from 3.000 to
7,000 feet above sea level.
From 7,000 feet up,
however, a mossy forest largely scrub oak and
stunted bamQoo takes over.
This kind of forest is
the fountainhead and the great watershed of the
rivers of Northern Luzon springing from "the Moun­
tain Provinces~
So from thG altitude, the climate and the
vegetation, one understands the plant life in Ben­
guet.
These conditions naturally affect also man~s
behavior and his economic acttvi ties,
as well as
the natural attraction of the area.
Area
Benguet has an area of 2,5S6 2 square kilo­
meters, practically the same as that of Bontoc and
of Ifugao but slightly more than one-third of
Kalinga-Apayao.
People
The native people of Benguet are of two tribes­
the Ibaloys and Kankanays.
The Ibaloys occupy the
agricultural valleys and have their seat of culture
in Kabayan, in the shadow of Mountain Pulag~
The
-
- - - -
~ ~..~

---

14
Kankanays occupy northern Benguet and the fastnesses
of the northern Highlands of the province e
Tradi­
tionally, the Kankanays are the native miners while
the Ibaloys are the agricultulturists~ The Kanka­
nays~ dialect is closely related to the Lepanto
speech while the Ibaloysl dialect has similarities
with that of the Pangasinan dialect.
Banguet is the most thickly populated of the
four Mountain Provinces.
The 1975 Bureau of Cen­
sus and Statistics has estimated 206,345 for both
sexes, the male population being 105,296 and the
female population being 100,419.
The big increase of population between 1918
to 1960 and to 1975 was not due to a high birth
rate but rather due to the emigration of peop~e
from neighboring provinces secking employment in
the mining operations ~s lumbering and in vegetable
production.
The population density of the province esti­
mc~ d on the basis of the 1975 population is 1.256
hectares per individual; since the total .and ar-?
of Benguet is 259,240 hectares while the population

Mineral Resources
Benguet is a mining area.
It possesses gold,
silver, copper, iron and zinc which are of stra­
tegic and commercial value.
Mining is the most

predominant industry in th~ province~
The operational mines in the province are Ben­
guet Consolidated, Itogon-Suyoc Mines and Atok
Wedge Mining Company in Mankayan; Philex Mining
Corporation, Benguet Exploration and Black Moun­
tain Incorporated in Tuba; Santo Nifio Mines in
Tublay and Western Minolco in Boneng, Atok.
These mining establishments produce a consi­
derable amount of gold, silver and base metals.
Lepanto Consolidated and Black Mountain produce
copper as their principal product and gold and sil­
ver as their secondary products.
Agriculture
In Bonguet, there are no extensive agriCUltural
lands, the plateau nevertheless afford cUltiva~e
areas along the valleys, hillside, and mountain
sides, as well as hill and mountain tops, the
ridges fortunately not being razor~edged.
Benguet has her own share of rice terraces on
which is
raised the deservedly-famed "Kintoman", a
glutinous and aromatic red cereal which is deli­
cious to eat.
Upland rice culture, howEver, is
ancicnt and static in practice I
not yet il~J.de res­
ponsive to mod2rn and improved rice cultivation.
The temperate climate of the Benguet table­
land has given rise to an agricultural practice

which was introduced by the early American adminis­
trators in this province.
This is vegetable farming
which has grown into lucrative multi-million peso
industry.
Vegetable farming is unquestionably the
best utility to which agricultural lands in Ben­
guet can be dedicated.
Among such varieties of
vegetable grown are cabbage, carrots, lettuce, cauli­
flower, celary, beans, sweet peas, sweet pickles and
many others.
Fruit growing bids also to be an important farm
occupation in Benguet.
Banana
coffee, cacao, pine­
F
apple and others may be grown abundantly.
Tiger­
grass which are largely grown vvild and manufactures
into brooms are also cultivated and its processing
made into a very profitable home or cottage indus­
try.,
Presently, the production of raw silk from
silkworm cocoons and of tree mushrooms on fallen
oak tree trunks or branches is under experiments
and are producing means of income and employment
for our many farmers.
Agricultural possibilities are multiple in
this region.
Large cattle, cows, horses and cara­
baos are raised in open grass lands upon the Ben­
guet plateau.
Hog raising is done in big scale and
so in poultry.
The climate of Benguet is ideal for
livestock production.

Commerce and Industry
There are 1,909 economic establishments in
Benguet.
A greater part of these establishments
do business in the municipality of ItogoD, capital
town of La TrinideQ, the municip2lity of Tuba, fol­
lowed by the municipality of Mankayan and Buguias.
Each of the remaining eight municipalities have
less than 100 business establishments, since most
of the commGrcial establishments follow mining ope­
rations and th~? veg'2table trade YJhere higher portions
of the population r2side Q
Investment Potentials
The following industries have good prospects
for development and are considered to be profitably
feasible •. ~lile vegetable farming and mining acti­
vities are expected to continue being profitable,
indications are that manufacturing and servicing
industri2s offer more attractive returns on invest­
men.
This is due to t· ~ resources available in the
pro' nee and the d~mand patt~rn, present and anti­
cipa'ced-..
Prospects for increased economic activity in
the province are very bright and distinct advantages
will accrue to the livestock cattle raising, hog
raising, poultry products, turkey raising and rab­
bitry.

Historical Sketch of La Trinidad
La Trinidad is a valley named after a beauti­
ful woman.
In 1846, the gallant Spani sh cOtnmander
Guillermo Galvez, viewing the verdant greenery of
the valley and the primeval forest of the surround­
ing hills, decided that the place was worth the
Castillian beauty of his wife~
La Trinidad is also known as the "Salad Bowl
of the Philippines".
In a short vJhile ... however, La
Trinidad may not be called this name since the
valley once teeming with vegetables is slowly giving
way to urbanization.
This, however, is expected of
a capital town 1t1hich is hoped to become Benguet I s
second city.
The municip~Jlit,yof La Trinidad i,5 located six
kilometers north of Baguio.
It is bounded on the
north by the municipality of Tublay... on the south
by the City of Baguio, on the west by the municipa­
lity of Sablan and on the east by the municipality
of Itogon&
The total land area of 5,660 hectares
i,5 populated by 16/000 according to estimates of
the Provincial Health Office.
The main products
and sources of income are vegetables, rice, fruits,
tiger grass and basket weaving o
La Trinidad had long been the educational cen­
ter of the old Mountain Province.

of the valley is occupied by the Mountain State
Agricultural College which in the past was known
as the Trinidad Agricultural College.
The present
elementary enrolmGnt adds up to 2,951 pupils
housed in seventeen elementary schools a
La Trinidad - Capital Town of Benguet
Before the division of the former Mountain
Province into four provinces, La Trinidad was then
a mere sub-provincial capital of Benguet.
By the
operation of Republic Act NO
4695, however, which
a
was signed
into law by the President of the
Philippines, President Marcos, on June 18, 1966,
La Trinidad eventually gained her present position
as the capital town of Benguet Province.
La Trinidad has had a humble but memorable
beginning.
It was one of the first municipal dis­
tricts organized in the early Spanish times and
again at the commencement of the American regime.
S~s~ches of history has i t that La Trinidad was
explored by a certa:n Don Quirante sometime in
1824.
In 1846, she was christened La Trinidad by
Governor Galvez, supposedly in honor of his wife
whose name was Trinidad s
Literally then La Trini­
dad means la tierra de Trinidad or land of Trini­
dado

The town has sixteen duly organized barrios:
Alapang p Alno$ Ambiong, Picot Central Picot East­
ern Pica, Western Pica, Camp Holmes, Tawang,
Poblacion, Lubao, Tacdian, Cruz, Wangal, and Ba­
hong o
La Trinidad is classified as a third-class
municipalitYe
Educationally, La Trinidad may inevitably be­
come an extension of Baguio as a university town.
The elevation of the Mountain State Agricultural
College to a chartered state college augurs well
for the capital town e
The Mountain State Agri­
cultural College may continue to cater to the high­
er educational needs of the Mountain Provinces as
well as of the nearby regions&
On the social and religious fields, wholesome
developments will naturally follow the boom in
business and the expected program in the education
of the people of this town through a resp~nsible
and servic~-oriented municipal government.

CHAPTER III
MOUl\\lTAIN STATE AGRICUL'I'Ul~AL COLLEGE
Historical Sketch
The Mountain State Agricultural College is one
of the le3ding insti t.utions in Northern Luzon, part­
icularly in the mountain provinces where many of the
leaders in the field of agriculture, education, poli­
tics and industry are MSAC alumni.
Founded in 1916,
i t was originally known as Trinidad Farm School,
an elementary and secondary school located on
1,710.33 hectares in scenic Trinidad Valley, a scant
six kilome~~ers north of Baguio City.
The curriculum was later expanded by the intro­
duction of a special secondary normal course for
the upper 25 per cent of the school's junior and
senior class.
From this group came many of the edu­
cational leaders of the ragion
Further expansion
D
was made with the introduction of a one-year post
secondary farm mechanics course in 1948.
The school acquired the status of a national
agricultural school in 1951 and opened a college
department in 1954.
The special secondary normal
course was abolished in favor of the baccalaureate
degree programs and the school was renamed Mountain
State Agricultural College in 1961
In the m_Bn­
D
time. its site was reduced to some 722 844 hectares

after the implementation of Proclamation 209 by the
late President Ramon Magsaysay.
On June 21, 1969, the College became a state­
chartered institution by virtue of Republic Act No~
5923 which vIas enacted into law \\vithout Executive
Approval a
It remained under the Bureau of Vocatio­
nal Education until April 20, 1970, when the Board
of Tr"ustces under the chairmanship of the Secretary
of Education designated then incumbent superinten­
dent Pedro Ventura as officer-in-charge.
The Mountain State Agricultural College marked
the first milestone as a state college on November
17 r 1970 when President Ferdinand E. Marcos appoint­
ed Dr. Bruno M. Santos as its first president.
Resources
The Mountain State Agricultural College has
722.844 hectares distributed as forest and water­
shed
vegetable farms, pasture lands, main campus
l
and animal projects.
It has an average tempera­
ture of 16.1 to 20.8 degrees centigrade and a
heuvy unequally distributed rainfall.
The Mountain State Agriculture College is a
community itself, providing faculty cottages and
student dormitories~

Enrolment Trends
The college operated with an enrolment of
1160 in 1972.
This figure gradually increased as
new courses werE added and expanded.
The current
enrolment is 4429 indicating a 281 per cent in­
crease oV0r a six year period.
It should be noted that in the present enrol­
ment/ two
~chool are integrated,namely the Benguet
Provincial High School ana 11ang Elementary School
which carry the name of Mountain State Agricultural
College Laboratory General High School and Elementa­
ry School
respectively.
J
The writer based the projected enrolment from
the Office of the Vice President for Development.
However, the said projected enrolment was done in
five years interval. Thus, to get the yearly pro­
jection, the writer got the difference of the en­
rol~ent figures from the yearly intervals by the
number of y~ars in the range given and divided by
the same number of years within the range. The fac­
tor obtained was added to the first year and to the
rest of the years under consideration.
For example:

Thus, for 1978, 813 +3 212 = 1025

Chapter IV
MOUNTAIN STATE AGRICULTURAL LIBRARIES
IN RETROSPECT
In 1960, the Mountain State Agricultural College
which was known as Mountain Agricultural College
(MAC) had a college library manned by a librarian
and a student assistant.
It was housed in one room
of the administration building.
It was an open­
stack system.
It consisted of 3,000 volumes of gene­
ral and basic references donated by various organi­
zations.
It was considered the biggest among public
school libraries in Benguet.
UnfortunatGly, on April 23, 1965, the library
was burned o
Nothing was saved.
Everything were
turned to ashes.
ThG whole building was btally
burned.
From that drastic incident, the library started
a new life.
It was temporarily housed in a room of
the Vocational Education Building.
Faculty members
started soliciting donation of books and other ma­
terials to put up a library.
In November, 1970, the college marked its first
milestone as a state college.
A two-storey build­
ing was constructed.
The building has a total floor
area of 11,705 square f0et.
Two separate libraries
were opened to serve the college and high school
students, respectively.
There were two professional

---

37
librarians and three assistants manning the "closed­
stack" collection.
The growth of the library continued by pur­
chasing library booKs and basic references; however,
in 1975 the growth was hampered by inadequate funds~
At this organizational stage of the college, priority
was given to other programs.
Present Status
Administrative Organization.
The library ope­
rates within the governing framework of the college.
It is considered one of the student services headed
by the Chief Librarian who is directly under the
Dean of Student Services.
Under Memorandum No. 2 s 1977, enacted in June,
1977, the Mountain State Agricultural College imple­
mented the revised organizational structure by which
the different heads of the departments were appointed
as chairman or chief based on the subject matter or
disciplines or functions.
These heads of the depart­
ments comprised the executive council.
At present, two unit libraries are integrated
with the main library, thus there are three unit l i ­
braries and three library sections.
Each section or
unit is headed by a library staff member.
An open­
shelf system is being adopted in all the units ex­
cept the Reserve Section, where it is closed-stack
system D

Personnel
Size - A total of eleven (11) full-time staff
is assigned to the library.
There are three pro­
fessional librarians and ~ight non-professionals;
thus having a ratio of one staff to 295 students and
personnel (faculty and employees).
They service the
needs of 4,429 students and 288 faculty members and
administrative staff.
Through the library survey
conducted sometime in August, 1977, even if the ra­
tio of the library staff is not in proportion with
the size of the academic population, about seventy­
two per cent (72%) indicated that the performance of
the library staff was very satisfactory.
We must
not be too optimistic about these figures for va­
rious respondents recommended an additional number
of library personnel.
Table 3 shows the analysis
of the library staff growth in relation to the total
academic population.
Qualifications
Table 4 provides a summary of the qualifications
of both th~ professional and non-professional staff o
It shows the staff's educational attainment, additio­
nal credits earned, length of experience in library
service, and civil service eligibility~
Status
The status of the professional librarians in the
college is still under study.
They are classified
as non-teaching and no definite policy has been
established regarding their career progression. In
practice, they are more identified with the non­
teaching group rather than with the teaching group.

Budget
The library has never been provided with a soparate
budg0t.
It must be noted that all th8 income of the
college are submitt2d to the national governm~nt includ­
ing library fees.
However, the President and the Budget
Officer see to i t that every year any excess or personal
savings th2Y may have are channel~d to the purchase of
library books.
Table 5 shows th2 total book fund or book expendi­
tures incllrred during the last five years vs the insti­
tutioI1i=ll budget.
It must b0; noted that salaries of the
lih~ary personnel come fr~m the national funds.

It should be noted that the existing col10ctions
do not measure up to the quantitative standard pro­
posed by the Library Committee for College and Univer­
sity Libraries.
The Committee considers 5,000 well­
selected relevant books as adequate to support the
curricular needs of a college of 500 an enrolment.
For
colleges with an enrolm2nt of over 500, a graduated
table indicating the number of volumes per student is

provided as follows:

Using that proposed standard as basis, the current
enrolm2ot of 4129 would require 26,574 volumes, showing
a lack of 17,704 volumes in the collection.
The pre­
sent book ratio of 2:1 volumes per student is s t i l l
below the r~commended mini~um sta~dard of six volumes
per
student.

Foreign standards require a much higher ratio.
The
Association of College and Research Librari8s Standards
SUgQ0sts a guide as a convenient measure of the coll~ct­
ion: Up to 600 enrolment} a minimum of 50,000 volum~s;
for every additional 200 students} 10/000 volumes.] This
is placing a minimum stud0nt-book ratio of 1:83 Qraduated
to 1:50 c
Al though the adequacy of the I ibra.ry book coll·:oct ion
can not simply be ~e~sured in quantitative terms, th0 pre­
sent holdings can dafinitely stand a lot of improvemont,

the problem of late imprints and multiple copies.
From the surv~y conducted by th0 writer} about 47
per cent of the r2spondents said that the library collec­
tion is just suffici0nt to mc~t their needs.
It should
b2 noted, however} that many remark~d th 0 t the library
should provide more copies of books in demand.
An analysis of th~ collection reveals a strong agri­
cultural colloction compared with other subject arRas.
Its strengths are in the fields of agronomy, agriculture,
livestock and home technology.
Of tlF; total number t
1111 volumes, 44.1 per cent are book titles, 10.4 per
cent of which are of recent imprints.
The college hold­
ings are particularly weak in the areas of dgricultural
engineering} animal technology, forestry and in the core
or basic references.

The other areas wh2re the collection might be con­
sidered fairly strong aro in the Social Sciences part­
icularly in education and political science, 57.1 per
cent of the total holdings in Social Science are on
these subjects.
It is noted that the collection in
Botany and Zoology constitutes only 2.1 per cent of the
total college holdings.
Unlike tho college collection, the high school
holdings ar~ v0ry strong in pure sciences instead of
applied sciences.
It has fairly good collection in
Biology, Chemistry, Algebra and Physics.
I t should be
noted that there arc two separate secondary libraries,
onc for thL general high school and one for the vocatio­
nal high school.
On the other hand, the Elementary
Laboratory School holdings ar8 very strong in the fields
of social sciences and literature.
S8rial Holdings
The library receives 163 titles of periodicals.
Of
this number, 24 are on subscription basis and 128 re­
ceived as gifts; 25 are foreign titles while 103 are
local titles; eleven are received as exchanges.
With
reference to the distribution by subject, 12.3 per cent
of the periodicals are on general interest; 53.4 per c0nt
are on agriculture, 27-6 per cent are on social sciences,
1.8 per cent are on technology
and
4.9 per cent arc on
pure scic::nces.
As to the adequacy of periodical titles, about
52 per cent of the respondents agreed that the library

has adequ2te p<?:r-iodical titles to SU:Jport th,.ir subject
areas.
If the propos2d library standards will be followed,
the present enrolment requires a minimum of 100 titles
of periodical subscription.
Since, th0 library has
twenty-four subscriptions, i t ne(~ds 76 mor·..: to complete
the requiref!l'.~nts.
A br,:;akdovm of th0 peciodical holdings
of the library by ~ajor areas is found on Table 6.
The
detailed breakdown of the proposed periodicals to be
acquired \\'vill be dealt with in th·; chapter 0:1 collections
dt::v-210pmEnt.
Other Materials
The library has a fair coll2ction of pamphlets,
bulletins, clippings and other ephemeral materials which
are readily accessiblE and available.
These arc kept in
th;, vertical file locat<::>d at the S:.?rial S,_:ction, broadly
C13ssified by subject.
They consist of post~rs, pictures

The Dewey Decimal
Classification scheme is used and adopted in the Mountain
State Agricultural ColJ0ge libraries.
Physical Facilities
i\\ two-storey concretu library building is provided.
Th0 first floor is wholly occupied by the library with
a tot21 floor arca of 11,705 square feet.
This space
is apportioned for th0 following sections/offices: read­
ing rooms for General Circulation, Graduate School, Vo­
cational High School, Reserved Section and the Office
of the Chief Librarian.
Th,.:; Sl~)c'c':' is not exactly very 1 arge.
Tho small
divisions have an C:?ffcct of ma],ing the library look

staff.
The second floor is occupied by tnt:: Sz_'rial Section.
Two other offices are locat~d namely: the Office of the
Student Services and the Editor of the Mountain Collegian,
official organ of th0 college.
As to the survey conducted, approximately 92 per
cent of th2 rC?spondents checked th,::: location, size,
acoustics, lighting and ventilation as good.

Chapter V
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
FOR MOUNTAIN STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE LIBRARIES
Objectives of the Library
Any development plan must start from a basic con­
sideration of the goals and obj2ctives of the parti­
cular entity.
From the broad goals/ programs and
strategies are determined, in order to accomplish what
must be achieved.
On the basis of the broad and speci­
fic purposes of Mountain State Agricultural College,
the library would have the following objectives:
1.
To effectively sUDport the educational ob­
jectives/ the academic programs, research requirements
and extension or conrrnunity involvement of the college
2.
To provide adequate materials and other
resources which will contribute to the attainment of
the broad and specific objectives of the Mountain
State Agricultural College
3.
To effectively and efficiently organize the
library collection for maximum service to its clients
These objectives must then be translated into
action program which will serve as the framework for
the five-year development plan.
An overview of the
proposed development would include the following
intermediate objectives and related strategies:
--~-
- 0 . -
•

---

52
1.
Improvement of the Present Organizational
Set-Up.
Good organization structure through appr~­
priate grouping of activities and clear delegation of
authority establishes an environment for performance.
This is needed to facilitate the accomplishment of
the objectives of the institution.
2~
Collection Development.
The service ren­
dered by a library depends in no small
measure upon
the adequacy of its collection, i.e. books, current
periodicals, monographs and documents.
Development
can be more meaningful in terms of growth in quantity
and quality of the collection as well.
3
Personnel Development.
The library staff
0
serves primarily as the linkage between the various
library resources and the readers, therefore, i t is
a must that attention should be devoted to this impor­
tant component of administration.
Giving academic
status to the professional library staff will auto­
matically ensure effectiveness and should be coupled
wi th full utilization of the staff in vlOrk which
requires professional rather than clerical training
and with conscious efforts to promote and facilitate
their professional growth.
Improvement of Physical Plant, Equipment and
Facilities.
The expansion of the library collection
as a response to the present needs and projected in­
crease in enrolment will necessarily require the prn­
visions of adequate facilities.
Otherwise, the total
developmp.nt effort might suffer in terms of effective­
ness and maximization of service.
50
Expansion of Reader's Service Program.
The
ultimate objective of this library development is to
improve the present library services to the students,
faculty members and community of the Mountain State
Agricultural College and its environment.
The basic
test of the quality of any university library is its

Basic Problems, Objectives and Strategies
In order to provide direction and determination,
library executives like designers make use of plans to
se~ve as guides in the development of effective and
efficient library services.
This attempt to formulate
a development plan is made, in order, to define the
specific areas which will be the targets for the im­
provement of the Mountain State Agricultural College
librarYn
"Program planning is a process by which the
nature and sequence of fu·ture programs are determined. ,,1
The Mountain State Agricultural College is rel­
atively not a newcomer in the field of agriCUltural
education and tr~ining.
It is in the process of growth
and expansion and as such, the library must likewise
complement the resources requirements.
The j.ntegrat ion
of the library with the college and the community can
best be accomplished through the provisions of ade­
quate services in terms of relevant collections,

qualified staff and impressdble library services.
These
targets will serve as the critical factor in determining
the needs and requirements for the proposed development
program.
The analysis of the existing library reveals the
findings stated in the succeeding paragraphs which will
serve as the basis for the suggested improvements that
will be done in a peiod of five years or less as required
funds are available.
Basic Development Problems and Needs
The growth and expansion of the curricular offerings
of the college have resulted in greatly increased demand
for library materialsi services, physical facilities
and personnel.
In the process of coping with the in­
crease4d~mands, the distinct problems are:
Inadequate trained librarians.
The effective
partic~-~tion of the library in the instruction of stu­
dents in the use of library materials, defining and
carrying out the objectives of the college in colla­
boration with the faculty requires a well qualified
2
and numerically adequate staff of trained librarians.
The problem is bro=ken down into three categories: re­
cruitment of competent staff, development of the exist­
ing staff a~d staff retention.

11brar:..y (New York;" \\!-Tilson; 1961) ~ 180.

2.
Insufficient Funds.
Adequacy of funds has
remained to be a problem.
A very limited amount is
appropriated for the library.
Thus~ this condition is
reflected in the deterred development of the resources
and slow expansion of library services.
For a sound
program of library development, foreign and local
standards have placed as the minimum range for a li­
brary budget, 5-8% of the total operating expenditures
of the college.
The budget of the I'1ountain State Agri­
cultural College is allocated for personnel services,
operating expenses and equipment.
Under the operating
expenses, the library is allotted a very small amount.
Like for this calendar year 1977, we are given p20,000,
which could hardly purchase the needed books for all
levels~
3
Collection Requirenents.
The present volumes
0
are far below the requirements in proportion to the
current enrolment.
While quantity may not be the only
yardstick or criterion for measuring the adequacy of
a library collection, in any case, i t is indic2tive of
the extent of the sufficiency of library resources.
A gap of 17,704 volumes exists between the requirements
and the current number of twenty-four subscriptions
are n~cded to fill in the requirements of 100 titles of
periodicals.
Technical journals in soil science, plant
science, animal science, forestry and other disciplines
must be acquired"
An adJitional gap in the book collection is ex­
pected after weeding out superseded and obsolete books.
If the library collection has to be kept alive and up
to date, a policy of stock revision must be pursued.
The libraLy has a small number of superseded books and
worn out books du~ to constant use.
Approximately,
50···100 volumes 'Aiill be weeded out"

57
5.
Centralized Processing Center.
There is a pl~n
by the Agricultural Librarians Association of the Philip­
pines (ALAP) to make a centralized processing center for
all agricultural libraries.
The implementation of this
proposal is directly relevant to the Mountain State
Agricultural Library, particularly, if Mountain State
Agricultural College desires to be fully integrated with
the specialized network of agricultural schools and
institutions of higher learning.
6.
Physical Facilities Requirements.
Apparently,
the accelerated growth of the college would give rise
to an increase in acade~ic population, a major factor
that affects space requirements in the library.
The
seating capacity of the library is short by 218 seats,
a requirement determined by the current enrolment and
the minimum standard of 10% accomodation for readers.
Various library and office equipment are needed such
as chairs, tables, carrels, cabinets, book shelves
and others.
7.
E~tension Services.
Much is still to be de­
sired form the library in terms of services.
While,
i t has provided the minimum services needed by the stu­
dents, and faculty, i t has not yet complemented the
co~m~tment of the college to extend its services to the
community of La Trinidad, Benguet.
8.
Provision of Special Services.
A modern
approach to instruction has been developed through the
use of non-book materials mo~popularly known as the
audio visual aids.
Audio visual service is directly
related to the library basic function, as such need
ar i se s, tl"len the 1 ibrary must concern itself \\-Ji th the
provision of the type of instructional materials.

Improvement of the Present Organizational Set-Up of
Mountain State Agricultural College Library
"Organization is the process of arr0nging inter­
dependent clGments into a functional or logical whole
while organizing r2fers to the grouping of positions
which will bes't carry the 1 ibrary IS plonned obj eeti ves it 3 ~
The administrative organization of any college l i ­

The library organizational structure provides not
only for the activities necessary to secure the ob­
jectives of the institution, but also for the continua­
tion of such activities for the full period of~era­
tion.
It involves a relating of activities which are
complimentary"
ImprovemeQt of the organizational set up as en­
visioned is management by centr~lizGC di=ection and
control.
The centralization of library administration
is based on the premise that all administrative respon­
sibility: and authority for library service, staff,
finances, library resources and facilities is entrusted
to one central administrative officer who is the head
of the library systema
Centralized library administ­
ration does not necessarily require centralization of
collections and resources but allows physical decentra­
lization and multiple location of economically feasible
library units,
Work Division and Assignm~nt of Responsibilities
r2fining and describing functions and activities
therefore starts at the top l0vel of the organization.
From the top major divisions can be identified to be
follow~d by a logical arrangement of activities to be
performed.
These must be related to achieve a uni­
fied whole.
Librarians generally agree that the ulti­
mate goal of most, if not all library organizations
is service which ideally should be effective and rele­
vant to the needs of the clientile.
How best to
achieve this end is largely determined by the organi­
zational structure; the library personnel and the
library administrator 0

The proposed organizational set-up would group
activities in accordance with the characteristics
and functions of the library organization.
As may
be seen from the chart (Figure 3), the two major
functional divisions would the Reader's Services
and the T~chnical Services.
The general functions
of each unit can be gleaned in the functional chart.
The Technical Services Unit comprises the
functions of acquisitions, catalo0in9 and classifi­
cation.
The acquisitions function consists of acti­
vities related to the selection of library materials
and of all that is involved in their acquisition by
purchase, gift, and exchange.
Cataloging and class­
ification are the functions associated with the iden­
tification and description of library materials and
their organization, through classification, for
effective usc.
The Reader's Services unit would embrace the
work activities involving direct service to the
clL?nts.
These vJould include: circulrition, reference
and bibliography, serials; high school, elementary
laboratory and special services departments.
As may be seer from the organizational chart,
the proposed set-up incorporates the high school and
elementary laboratory departments as sub-units of
Mountain State Agricultural College, because of the
integration of these two schools with the college.

Coll2ction Development and Finance
Collection Inventory
The Mountain State Agricultural College
Library Development Plan calls for strengthening or
upgrading the quality and quantity of its book c0110c­
tion and other mat8rials needed to support the curri­
cular offerings.
To be able to understand its condi­
tion better, an inventory of the library was made in
May, 1977.
An analysis of the inventory (Table 7)
brought liqht the following facts:
1.
Inadequate collection -
the total collec­
tion consists of 8870 volumes, representing 2307 book
titles.
Volumewise, a student book ratio of 1:2.15 is
flbout twice below the proposed minimum requirement of
1:6 based on the college enrolment.
Furthermore, only
twenty-five and four-tenths per cent (25.4%) of the
book titles are of recent editions or having imprint
within the last five years.
Some 43.2% of the books
are of pre 1965 imprints and about 30.2% represents im­
prints for 1965-69.
The high schoolis current collec­
tion is also insufficient for the use of 1075 students
based on the enrolment figures.
There are only 157
:~~les that are post 1965 imprints.
2.
Limited Serial Titles -
only twenty-f~ur
(24) current subscription titles ~re av~ilable in the
library for the courses offered.
There should at least
j-0 100 periodical titles on subscription.
The library
has enough periodical titles as gifts and exchanges

---

7U
3.
Deficiencies in certain subject areas ­
Table 8 and 9 id2ntify the areas that may be considered
deficient in terms of the number of titles in the t~tal
collection.
Agricultural Engineering, Animal and Plant
Sci~nce and Forestry are major areas which require up­
grading in the light of the coll~ce objectives and
current needs of the region.
Likewise, i t is als0
necessary to strengthen the collection of basic refer­
ence sources'and general works including the essential
professional tools needed by the library staff to pro­
perly develop, organize and maintain the collections.
4.
Problem of multip18 copies -
the quality
of the existing collection suffer further with the
practice of having multiple copies of titles.
The 1977
inv2ntory revealed that of 8870 volumes, 652 or 7,4% of
the total collection ara duplicates.
It may be neces­
sary to institute guidelines as to the extent of dupli­
cation in the library.
5.
Insufficient funds -
records indicate
that from 1972 to 1976, a very limited amount is allo­
caL0d for the library.
As previously stdted the ex­
~~'ss or personal savings they get are channeled to the
pUL2hase of books which can hardly meet the needs of
each discipline in the college.
The library fees are
brought to the national gover.nment and are regarded as
miscellaneous funds.

Plan Implem2ntation
In order to translate the dsvelopmcnt plan into
action, there is an urgent nc_d to consider some wcll­
thought out approaches to snsur~ the necessary support
from the college management.
The following guidelines
will be adopted in pursuing the objectives of the five
year plan.
1.
Securing official commitm~nt and funding
support from the college officials.
Official sanctions
arc crucial to the accomplishments of the proposed pl~n.
The initial move would be to prescnt th~ result of this
study to the President of Mountain Stat~ Aqricultural
College through official channels to make them aware of
this proposal.
This will also be accompanied by some
comparative data obtained from related libraric:;s which
will be utilized to provide the basis for the comparison
in order to 0nlightcn the officials concerned on the
requir2m~nts of a well-planned library.
bTi th reference Jco the financial ri::?quin::'m,:nts
spoIled out in the plan, the writ~r will present as argu­
m,~nts the possible impact of developing em up to date
qUJlity cor2 collection for the college, high school
and elcm0ntary and other clients of the institution.
It
is a fact th~t quality service can likely be achieved.
i f there are suf£ici.)nt resourC0So
The collL~2 is ~n­
gaged in an area or Ei2ld of study which has relatively
fast0r obsolescence rate than the social sciences.
2.
Ocganizing the selection and acquisition team
of the library to impl m.nt the program of dGvelopm~nt­
considering the mBgnitude
of this particular activity,
there is an urgent ne~d to assign qualifi0d staff to
attend the multifarious tasks involved~

The Chief Librarian will coordinate the proposed
program to be assisted by the library staff whose
cesponsiDility will be to translate the objectives
into tangible results.
In this connection, the library will hav2 to secure
the needed tools, i.e. book selection aids, trade tools,
in order to do the job efficiently and effectively.
The
staff to be assigned will likewise, have to be orionted
on the objectives; mechanics or procedures and also
encouraged to ':Jork \\vi th various £2cul ty ~n·.:";T1L',·:-r's to se­
cure tn0ir interest and support.
3.
Establishinq necessary linkages with major
academic (3- ~ .3rtMc.nts to narticinatc
and sf::curing tb.:ir

~
support of the collection develop~Q~t nrogram.
The
raison d' etre of the library of the college is to
support the academic programs of
For this
reason, it is imperative that th~ various academic
departments must particip~tc in the process of selec~ing
the materials for their resp,::,ctive SU})j'2ct areas wr-lC?re
they have expertise.
The library staff, on the other
h2nd, must complement the faculty by way of identifying
possible materials to be acquired, bibliographic
searching including thE reading of reviews to ensure
E~l_~tivity and relevance of th~ curriculum.
The es­
t2blishm~nt of linkages with the academic departwents
can pave the way for the faCUlty support of the library
program •
.1.
Periodic reporting and maint -iniog feedback to
officials concerned on the proqr~~3 of the collection
d2v_lo~m~nt 91ao- this strategy is closely linked with
th;: controlling i·.1c.ction. of rn(-~nagl:::··n,,;nt.
to evaluate the actual eX0cution of the plan in relation
to planno0 performance.
In th,,~ ev(.=nt that certaill ad-
justTI~nts will be ne0ded on th2 basis of f~~~back re­
ceived, thSD, modifications can easily be made to ad­
just the program as ncc~~sary.

86
It is anticipated that continuing inflation will
certainly cost 0stimates and therefore[ a certain
flexibility shall continue to be provided in making
tho cost estimates for books and serials requirements
periodically.
This will ensure the equitable chanel­
ing of funds for library purposes.
5.
Weeding of the existing collections- as pre­
viously mentioned[ there is an urg0nt n2cd for we0d­
ing ths existing collection to discard materials which
are o~so12te in terms of ageJ factual content J use­
fulness to existing courses J or are simply worn out
du~ to constant use.
This process will iliso cnable the
library to have the needed space and shelving for the
new materials.
6.
Centralized administration of book-funds- in
order to achieve effective b~dgetary control in the
procur~~~nt of library materials, i t is necessary that
the Chief Librarian should be made responsible for the
administration of book funds.
This arran0C-;inent will
enable the Chief Librarian to fully imp10ment th? pro­
pos~~ targets, particularly, the priority areas which
have been idGntified.
A decentralized system of book
fund administration (i.e. through various projects) has
somewhat left the library with no budget at all.
Furthermore, the library to be maintained should
approxima te thE: reco'Tlrncndcd minimum range of S% te, 8%
of thE total 2:1r-,ual or" rating expend i tur.= of thE: collego
as proposed in tne Standards for Philippine Colleges
and University
Libraries, 1970.

The MSAC library, situ3ted, as it is, in the Ben­

The administrative personnel car2cr system re­
quired only two lev21s of
positions namoly: the library

The 9r0s~nt staff complcm~nt of the Mountain State

full time personnel.
There are thrse staff members
occupying the positions of Chief Librarian, College Li­
brarian and Junior Librarian.
~jer~ are six library
assistants and cwo li~rary casuals.
Both proL~ssional a.nd adwinis era t i ve groups n:quire
civil service eligibilities to acquire perman2ncy or te­

Two staff members are purs~ing their studies to

It is expected
that by th~ cn~ of fiscal yaar 1978-79 at least two
m2mbers of t
? libra~y sta~~ will have completed their
m2jors in library SCl~nce.
For the past years, the MS~C administrators have
~anifested groat interests towards the staff dev~lopment
program of the faculty and staff.
Their concern for hu­
man d~velo_~·~t will c~rt2inly have a multiplier ef[=~t

rhe first threo years of service constitute
the probationary period during which the individual
is trained for effective performance on the job.
To acquire tenur0,MSAC librarijns are required to
have the appropriate civil service ~ligibility.
It is further proposed that professional l i ­
brarians, few as they are, be given a faculty sta­
tus.
It should be not~d that th~ educational re­
quiremcnts for faculty memDrrs ~re relatively the
same as tt0 professional librarians~
Although,
the librarians are not directly involved in the
classroom instruction, they are nevertheless in­
volved in facilitating the learning process.
Promotion
'vJheeler and Goldhor defined promotion as "re­
assigning an individual from a position in a given
grade to another position in a higher grade usual­

Furthermore, they likewise stat0d that the prome­
tion from within is the epitome of a career servic8.
It can result in a chain rGaction of pro~otion Gown
the line and consequently has a powerful effect on
st~[f morale.
This viewpoint is equally shared by
the Philippine Civil Service.
Another proposal to prOVide incentive to those
who have reached their maximum level of competence

The

Physical Facilities
Space
As an institution grows and domands on its li­
brary system intensify, there is a continuing need
for ~ore space -
s~~ce to house the collection, space
to provide working quarters, space for faculty members'
studies, space for graduate studwnts and space for
readers and other researchers.
The library has a total area of 11,705 square
f0Ct which is barely small to provide for stack,
reading for undergraduate and graduate students, office
of the chief librarian and a working area
for the
staff.
To accomodate the prescnt colloction
number
r
of staff members and 10% of the total Enrolment,the
whole library needs a minimu8 space of 13,307 square
fect.
This estimate is based on the following stand­
16
ards:
2S square feet: per reader
100 square. f "t-
per staff member
90 square fel;':t per 1000 v':'llurnes plUS 25%
Apparently, this space requirement would increase
as the enrolment grows coupled by an increase of the
co1l~ction and the number of staff members.
It is
estimated that aft~r five years) the library would need

largo as the existing one.
A definite solution
to this problem is the construction of a new 1i­
brary building.
It should be noted that the tW0
int:Jrated schools (General High School and Elemen­
tary Laboratory) occupy a very small room and some­
tim0s us~d as classroom.
The writer plans to in­
tegrate the two units with respective dapartmnnts

It should be
noted that th<2 diffGrence b :-tw:::,en t[h? rc-comrii,>-(',ded and

will definitely cause cong0stion in the library due
to the Ilmitcd space.

intensification of book acquisition.
In anticipation
of this requirement, an estimate has be2D based on
the physical acquisitLoD and on the standard shelving

The eXisting shelves of the library should be
moJified to fit -ch-:, prcs':ot plan.

Succes2ful library service presupposes an ada­
quaL~ library building.
The collcgG library building
should be centrally located and functionally designed.
Provision should be ~~0e for the expansion of
r2ading c,rcas where stud, !its may have easy acces.s to
books and other mat2rials.
Beok space, too, must be
ample not only for th0 pr~s0nt but for the foresee-
It was ffi2ntioned pr0viously that a new building
\\tJould be the definite solution to th~ ~;;>:lc,:: probem.
In this connecti,..,n, i t is proposed t:1.J.t the MSP.C ad­
ministration seriously coniider the idea of providing
the library a building designl2d for the anticipated
growth over a twenty Y0ar period.
In the? long run,
this solution for th.::; space problem l,\\lould be more
economical for the colleg~ than the continuous re­
modelling and enlarg<:::r:h:'nt as thG latter is limited by
the structure of the present building.
Hence, after
a few mor2 y~ars, the administr~tion would again be
faced with same: problem of ,seeking funds for 2q~ET
enlargement.
This will continue to go on without

However,
should the library have a new building, with in the
next five years, the following guidelines should be
considered:
1.
Provide a written program or requir~mcnt to
serve as the basis for the plans.
The kinds of ad­
ministrative and educational problems, the planning
committee will be cal10d upon to discuss, are sug­
l
gested by the following questions: ?
a.
How 'Tl3ny studc:r1ts are to be accornodat.ed
in the new library?
b.
What lS the best SiZE for th: building?
c.
~··Jh,Jt is the co] lege policy rc.:·ge.rding
the provision of audio visual aids and other mecha­
nical teaching devices:
Will they be handled by
cClch dep3.rtmcnt sEparately or will th'.:?re be a cen­
tr lizcd library, 0udio visual service for all C2part­
m_nts?
d.
Will the existing collections be absorbed
in the new library building?
c.
What effect will th2 n~w communication
t~chnoloqy have on the library building?

The informa­

and informal instruction in bibliographic methods
and assisting students in preparing footnote

Chapter VI
FINDINGS AND RECOI'1I·1ENDl-\\TIONS
The ,following are the findings of thG study;
1.
Limited funding -
only a very limited amount
is ai)proprlatcd for the library.
The library ope­
rates without a rf.?qular budget.
Th~lS
hampc.?red the
growth of the coll~ctions and det~rred sGrvices to
its cli,cntiles.
2.
Meager library collection -
dUG to the li­
mited funding afforded for the library, sparse col­
lection was developed.
3.
Lack of trained library personn~l -
lack of
educational qualifications of the library assistants
maKe the 1 ibrary s',,~rvices
ir adequate ~
Inadequate facilities and cramped library
quartcrs- because of the: incrcase.: in E.~nrolmC:.'nt,
library quarters are insufficient~
Based on the findings formulat~d above,
the following recommendations are proposed:
1.
To develop a good core collection, i t is
rsconn"l;nded that MSi\\C administrators earmark a fixed
percentage of th~ total institutional bUdget for the
library and all library fees be cha~neled to the
library instead of putting them under the miscellaneous
funds which are submitted to the national governmGnt.
- - - - -
-
-
-

---

113
2.
For proper selection and acquisition
of library materials, i t is recommended that faculty
members through their department heads work hand in
hand with the chief librarian in the selection of
library books.
3.
Since most of the agricultural li­
braries are using the h.CAP Basic Books for a College
of Agricultu:0e, i t is recommonded that the same lists
b0 used in MSAC.
However, this list should be up­
dated annually.
This tool could be used as a check­
list to gauge or appraise the strength of the collec­
tions.
1.
No library can develop~ organize and
service its collection without a highly trained and
adequate staff with salaries comparable or equated
tJ.. u.s
with the other members of the academic staff; i t is
A
recom~Gndcj that the D.P. Salary Scal2 for Librarians
and their career ladder or progression be adopted in
the Mountain State Agricultural College~
