=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==
The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities, and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection, and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science, was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research, and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures, (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library, and (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research, and bibliographic services; maintains and preserves books, documents, and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Books, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. The bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library client and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on an adequate book fund, a permanent library building, and a sufficiently trained, experienced, and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services, and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, and initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences, and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), and enabled CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido Maria S. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. Four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==
{{TOC right}}
The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido Maria S. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

Msramos: /* Library Instructions */

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the '''Main Library Building''' was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters.
Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''Main Library Building'''==

You can visit us at [[the Main Library Building]], Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.
The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.
The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.
The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.
The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

Msramos: /* Library Instructions */

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well.

Msramos: /* Library Instructions */

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at the Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at the Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at the Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

=='''The University Library, UP Diliman'''==

The University Library of UP Diliman encompasses one Main Library and 36 College or Unit Libraries. It envisions global information exchange throughout the UP Library System. It is mandated to be the information resource center of excellence in the social sciences, humanities and basic sciences. It strives for full automation, a world-class collection and a staff of thoroughly modern information professionals.

The University Library was officially established by the Board of Regents in 1922, fourteen years after the founding of the University of the Philippines in 1908. The University Library, which was at the same time designated as the Department of Library Science was placed on equal level with other departments of instruction for the services of all colleges of the university.

Between the years 1908 to 1922 University constituents made use of small libraries in the various units and colleges of the university and government libraries in Manila for their research and information needs.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

You can visit us at the Gonzalez Hall Apacible St., University of the Philippines Diliman. We are located in between the Sunken Garden and UP Lagoon.

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.

The UP Diliman Library Collections have been developed in aid of teaching, research and extension work in the disciplines designated to Diliman. Topping the list of choice collections in UP Diliman are the Filipiniana Collections, which come in print, non-print and digital forms.

=='''The Main Library'''==

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

It consists of eight (8) readers services sections (Filipiniana Book, Filipiniana Serials, Special Collections, Media Services, General Reference and Electronic Resources, Social Sciences, Foreign Serials, and the University Archives and Records Depository); four (4) technical sections (Acquisitions, Bibliography and Indexing / R & D, Cataloging and Computer Services); and the Administrative Services Department. Bulk of the library collection in the social sciences, general reference, foreign serials, UPiana and other special collections are found in the Main Library.

The Library’s print and non-book collection is complemented and updated by an extensive and multidisciplinary state-of-the-art electronic (CD-ROMs and online) databases which are accessible throughout the UP system. In the Main Library alone, there are 30 OPAC terminals in the first floor lobby and 24 CD-ROM/Internet browsers in the General Reference and Electronic Resources Section, made available to library users from 8:00 AM to 12 midnight on weekdays and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays. Several computers are also provided in the other sections for library clients and staff use as well. To safeguard and at the same time facilitate the circulation of library materials, a library security system with its prerequisite barcodes, barcode reader, magnetic strips, sensitizer-desensitizers and a closed circuit television were installed in the Main Library and other college/unit libraries.

=='''History'''==

The first librarian of U.P. was Miss Mary Polk, an American Assistant Professor of Library Science. She initiated the foundation of a modern library in the university with her 10-year library development program which focused on adequate book fund, permanent library building, and sufficiently trained, experienced and organized staff.

Every University Librarian since the University Library was established in 1922 has grappled with four basic concerns: the book fund, staff development, library services and information technology.

''Gabriel A. Bernardo'' (1924-1957) built the Library in Padre Faura, giving it the reputation of being the best in Asia before the War. He rehabilitated and rebuilt the Library in Diliman after the War.

''Marina G. Dayrit'' (1963-1981) systematized library services and the staff training, beefed up the library collection through Ford Foundation grants, developed the Filipiniana Special Collections and Archives, initiated microfilming and computerization. Atty. Myrna S. Feliciano, College of Law Librarian, was officer-in-charge from 1981 until 1984.

''Filomena M. Tann'' (1984-1986) decentralized acquisition and cataloging processes in accordance with revised policies and reorganization of the University Library System as approved by the Board of Regents.

''Belen B. Angeles'' (1987-1999) obtained a Ford-Mellon grant to develop the humanities, social sciences and general science collections and to purchase license to use CDS/ISIS. She opened Media Services, converted the Filipiniana Collection to machine-readable form, opened the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), CD-ROM and INTERNET services.

''Salvacion M. Arlante'' (1999-Present) launched the University Library Web site; purchased the integrated library system MAELISA; pursued and implemented the in-house developed Integrated Library System (iLib); adopted the policy of access versus holdings; promoted the welfare of the Research, Extension and Professional Staff; and is exploring alternative information technologies.

=='''Mission'''==

To provide library users:
* the best access to the information that they need in support of instruction, research and extension
* the best information services through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as applied in libraries

=='''Location'''==

=='''The Main Library Building (Gonzalez Hall)'''==

Named after former U.P. President Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1951), the Main Library Building was the first building to be constructed after the University transferred from its original site in Manila to the Diliman campus. Construction of the building was started in May 1949, four months after the transfer, and finished in June 1950, with completed by January 1951.

The Main Library Building stands in the very midst of the academic buildings in Diliman. It is rectangular, measuring 102.75 meters long and 20.55 meters wide, with four floors including the basement. It has a stacks unit jutting to the rear from the center, measuring 27.40 meters long and 30.55 meter wide, with provisions for 8 decks of which only five are complete to date.

The decision to construct the Main Library at the center of the academic square accounts for its poor geographical orientation. In order to align it with the other buildings, its entire length runs from north to south, so that the building faces east and west, exposing readers inside to the glare of the sun the whole day.

The exterior of the building has a touch of the classic by the presence of columns along the frontage. There are four massive columns extending upward to the fourth floor line the porch facing the main entrance, with an additional four columns each on both sides of the porch reaching up to the third floor. Access to the main entrance is provided by an 18-step stairway.

The building is modular in design and function. The structural bay measures 6.85 meters. Internally its fixed commitments consist only of the stairs, elevator and toilets. Maximum flexibility of physical lay-out is provided by the absence of load-bearing partitions, the continuous ceiling, and modular lighting.
