Mountain Province State University (MPSU) and the TESDA-Cordillera State Institute of Technical Education (CSITE) strengthened their institutional partnership through a Gender-Responsive Library Management and Services Benchmarking Visit held today, October 7, at the E-Library, 4th Floor Library, MPSU, Bontoc, Mountain Province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gracing the activity, University President Dr. Edgar G. Cue challenged participants to look beyond the traditional image of the library and recognize its evolving role in an increasingly digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue emphasized that libraries and technology should not be viewed as competing forces, but as complementary tools for expanding access to knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, he stressed that a modern library must be people-centered and gender-responsive\u2014one that recognizes diverse needs and ensures that everyone can learn, access information, and participate with dignity, equality, and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the activity, MPSU demonstrated its electronic services (E-Services), showcasing how digital platforms and resources complement traditional library services and expand access to information for students and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, CSITE Executive Director Ms. Daisy C. Bungallon expressed her appreciation to MPSU for opening its doors to TESDA-CSITE and providing the opportunity to learn from the university\u2019s experiences and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity culminated in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), formalizing their commitment to strengthen cooperation and pursue collaborative initiatives in knowledge sharing, capacity-building, and the development of responsive and gender-inclusive library services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
