This will be held at the Bohol Tropics Resort in Graham Avenue, Tagbilaran City.
The objectives of this seminar are for the participants to be able to know the available legal collections and resources, both digital and non-digital; to understand the theories being established and the support for its success; and to understand the current laws and jurisprudence that affect the professional and communities.
Librarians (academic, special school, public, government agencies, information center, lawyers, non-librarians, information managers/personnel, researchers, teachers, LGUs, employees/office staff, barangay officials and students are invited to attend this timely and informative seminar.
Legal information resources are important for all types of Libraries and Information Centers to respond to the needs of people from all walks of life.
Building partnerships for legal information is imperative considering complete Philippine legal resources are not available in print. Electronic or digital resources serve to provide answer to these needs.
Undersecretary Manuel Quezon III of the Presidential Communications & Strategic Management and Planning Committee will give a talk on Building Partnership on Legal Information: An Update on the Nation’s Project during the opening day.
For more details about the seminar, one may contact the Provincial Librarian, Ms. Erlinda Rule at telephone numbers (038) 411-2642 and 501-9106. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)
