COMPLIANCE:

Last May 07, 2018, during the 2nd quarter consultation meeting of PSU Campus Librarians, the revision of the Library Manual was one of the agendum headed by Ms. Mary Ann C. Mangapot, (Director- Library Services). The purpose of the revision is to review, rethink and reconsider the efficiency and effectiveness in the implementation of the library services.

On October 30, 2019, the final revision for the Library Manual was conducted. During the session, inputs and changes were deliberated among the PSU Librarians. And one of the major changes of the manual was the title, from Library Procedural Manual to Library Operational Manual.

Furthermore, the usage of the Campus++ with the Integrated Library Management System module was also introduced in the revised Library Manual. 

The proposed modifications and improvements of the Library Manual were deliberated and approved for endorsement to the Board of Regents by the University Academic Council on February 18, 2020. 

The Board of Regents approved the adoption of the revised Library Operational Manual in their 189th Regular meeting last April 13, 2021. (BOR Resolution No. 58, s.2021)
