Librarians and library staff from the main and regular campuses of the Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) - University Learning Resource Center (ULRC) gathered at the Tarlac State University (TSU) in Tarlac City, Tarlac to participate in the Genderized Library Benchmarking and Exchange of Library Materials event held last July 21.

The event provided a unique opportunity for DHVSU-ULRC to compare its performance with other libraries of a similar size, serving a comparable population, budget, or collection.

By identifying areas of excellence in other libraries, DHVSU sought to apply these insights to further enrich their library services. The occasion also aimed to foster collaboration, share best practices, and improve library services.

“Bukod po sa tour sa facilities ng TSU library, marami po kaming natutunan na best practices nila na p’wede rin naming mai-apply sa library natin. Nagbigay din sila ng tips sa kung paano mas maibibigay ang kailangan ng mga students at kung paano mas mai-improve ang library staff in terms of services para sa clients,” said Michelle Janapin, one of the college librarians who participated in the activity.
