Conclusion:

With the use of advance technology, Daniel L. Perez Elementary School can produce more students who are
ready to further schooling and who are comfortable working with the ever increasing technology required for daily
life. The library will provide the resources the student research and exploration, most especially for those students
who do not have computers at home. The library will become an Information Media Center that will provide the
necessary basic knowledge and equipment for students to become users of technology in education and everyday
life.

3. Automation System
Needs Addressed:
Daniel L. Perez Elementary School Library operates on the Library World System. There is only one computer
in the library. The administrative computer for library world is in fair condition but is in need of upgrades. The
automated catalog needs to be assessed to insure that it accurately represents the physical holdings of the library.
Barcodes need to be purchased in order to input library materials into the system. D.L. Perez Elementary School has not
had a steady librarian for the previous school years. Currently, there is no librarian as of SY 2013-2014.

Objectives:

To complete automation process as soon as possible

To maintain automation system by ensuring that it is in working condition daily
To continue purchase and hardware and software units as needed to keep the automation technology functional
and relevant
To provide online public access catalog (OPAC) to facilitate the ready access to patrons of information and
resources in the library

Conclusion:
The availability and maintenance of the automation system is essential for optimal access to information and
materials in Daniel L. Perez Elementary School. Moreover, it provides for the accountability, inventory and
organization of library materials. Student use of the automation system, most especially the OPAC, provides our
students with the necessary skills and experience to independently access information in any library setting.

4. Collection Building and Maintenance

Needs Addressed:
With the librarys role as the Multimedia Information Center, library collection of books and materials should
be geared toward advancing technology. Old and damaged books should be weeded regularly. We need to acquire upto-date books, magazines, videos, and other materials to keep up with current world events. A well- equipped Library
Center is therefore essential.
Objectives:

To acquire books and other materials for the purpose of building a strong, high quality library media collection
suited to the needs of our students and faculty and supporting D.L. Perez academic programs.
To maintain the collection in order to keep it current, accurate and in good condition (regular inventory,
weeding, etc.)

response yet

Conclusion:
It is important to keep the library collection current, reflections of new discoveries in technology and science,
changes in world politics, updates in world history, and awareness of social/cultural developments. Doing so will preserve
the integrity and necessity of the library. New and engaging fictional materials are needed to reflect the current interests
of the students, and engage their attention and encourage reading for exploration, imagination, and enjoyment.
Information must be available in all formats or the benefit of the different means in which students learn. A high quality
collection supports the value of the library in the educational journey of our students.

5. Library Structure
Needs Addressed:
Daniel L. Perez Library is of adequate size and layout. Tiles were replaced within the last 3 years. Two air
conditioners have been functioning properly allowing a sustained temperature for the preservation of materials. Book
shelves are mostly wooden with a few portable metal shelves. Furniture consists of large rectangular tables and
student chairs. There are two donated plastic couches. Move inviting and comfortable furniture is desirable, as well as
independent student cubby stations. The current charging station is not large enough to accommodate both book
dropoffs and checkouts. Appropriate racks or shelves for display of books are needed for periodicals to prevent curling
and bending, as well as to increase their longevity.

Objectives:

To maintain an attractive and inviting space that encourages patrons to use

To have the proper shelving, storage, and environment to adequately hold and preserve and protect all books,
materials, and equipment
To provide the necessary work spaces for both the librarian and the students
To provide for ease of access and movement for faculty, students, and staff.

program. Adequate space for administering automation, accessible student study areas, and seating for reading all
facilitate a greater interest in the library and reading.

6. Special Programs and other activities

Needs addressed:
There is a great need for students to be motivated to use the library resources. They should know that the
library is a special place to check out books to read for information and for pleasure. In reading, they can gain
knowledge and tools for lifelong learning. The library at D.L. Perez can be utilized for educational activities such as
Science Fair and Geography Bee. Library assisted some meeting and activities such as monthly staff and faculty
meetings.

Summary Statement:
Summary Statement:
The school library media center offers a wide variety of resources and opportunities to students. It is a place
where students can read, check-out books, do research, and have access to internet to search information. Therefore,
updated media and equipment is needed to ensure students have the opportunity to utilize applications and make use of
technological advancement. The long term impact is that the students will have developed the use of the library media
center and its resources to gain lifelong knowledge.
