Digitization Policy Guidelines

• Materials to be digitized must be in the public
  domain or clear for public distribution and must
  support the educational, recreational and
  information needs of its users
• Priority is given to current and retrospective
  materials on or about the Philippines (history,
  psychology, economic and political conditions,
  legal materials, recreation, education, arts and
  culture, languages and literature, and natural
  as well as physical sciences)

16
Digitization Policy Guidelines

• Deteriorating and fragile materials, such as rare
  books, which contain invaluable information
• Materials that will contribute most immensely to
  increased production of ordinary citizens such as
  farmers, fisher folk,etc.
• Unique resources pertaining to local heritage
  especially oral traditions/dying traditions and
  customs which are of interest to the local
  community and beyond.

Usage Statistics
63
The Philippine eLib

• has demonstrated integration of information
  sources into a single network system critical
  mass
• decreased over all cost through cooperative
  development and enhancement and sharing of
  resources
• accelerated delivery of services to citizenry
• increased capacity to make systematic use of
  information for a wide range of purposes.

64
The Philippine eLib

• Implementing the eLib, we in the Philippines
  realized two concerns
• Acquisition of most, if not all, Filipiniana
  cultural heritage materials in any format
• Preservation and conservation of these heritage
  materials/traditional knowledge
• Increased readership that includes not only
  clients of the members of the consortium but also
  ordinary people, farmers, fisher folk and
  students in both public and private secondary and
  tertiary levels of education.
• We would like to think, that through the
  University Librarys website and the Phil eLib,
  we continue to contribute to the social and
  economic empowerment of our people.

65
Conclusion

• It is imperative to preserve heritage materials/
  information resources covering culture and the
  historical events in our respective nations and
  use modern information and communication
  technologies (ICTs) in the organization, access
  and preservation of national heritage materials
  in realizing the national vision for social and
  economic empowerment of its constituents.
