Do you know that we have a Star Wars Book in our library? Star Wars Book, we have...  The book is in CED Library's Circulation Section (791.4375 Sa 58 1992). It was a film to top all others. Audiences around the world gasped in delight as they watched alien creatures cavorting in a bar, entire planets exploding, and futuristic space ships rocketing through galaxies at a time. George Lucas had launched a new era in film making, combining a vivid imagination with state-of-the-art technology.

Taken from OpenOffice Website College of Education Library has a limited number of computers that has Microsoft Office (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.) installed in it. Most of the students are using MS Office for their reports, presentations, lesson plans and other school projects. Most computers in the Research Network Area (Multimedia Services Section) in the CED Library are installed with Apache Open Office which is a free software as opposed to Microsoft Office.  Microsoft Office Prices Good news! You can create any Microsoft Office Documents ONLINE!  First, you have to register for a new account to start using MS Office Online!

Students are requested to leave the books on the shelves Students are encouraged to leave the books on the table or on the shelves. This way, the library staff will be able to arrange the books easier and avoid confusion among other library patrons. Books are arranged according to their call numbers which make them easier to find. If the books are not returned to their respective shelves, other library patrons will have a hard time looking for the book. To learn more about how the books are arranged, click on this link: http://cedlibnews.blogspot.com/2015/12/ced-library-dewey-decimal-classification.html Students are discouraged to scatter the books in the library 

Books in the College of Education Library are arranged based on the Dewey Decimal Classification or Dewey Decimal System.  Source: http://overflowingbookshelves.blogspot.com/ The Dewey Decimal  Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classificationsystem first published in the United States by Melvil Dewey in 1876. (wiki) Books inside the CED Library are easier to find using the call numbers that are found on the side of the book as well as the upper left corner of the front cover.

There will be an Essay Writing Contest at the College of Education (CED) Library from 2:00 PM onwards. It is an annual contest held by the Association  of Student Educators in Science and Mathematics (ASESMA) to showcase the talents of students in Literature. The contest will be held at the Reading Area of the CED Library. Non-participating students are encouraged to minimize the voices while inside the library.

For security purposes, no bags and other books are allowed inside the College of Education (CED) Library's sections. Students are only allowed to bring paper, pen, pencil and notebook. Students are requested to leave their bags in the shelf provided near the library's entrance or on the tables of the reading area. However, students should bring their valuables with them (wallet, phones, money, etc) and keep an eye on their belongings from time to time to avoid theft. Laptops and tablets can also be brought inside the library sections but laptop bags are to be left outside the library sections. 

Since the official website of the Department of Education (DepEd) is now updated, I will be removing the tab for the K to 12 Curriculum Guides, Teacher's Manual and Learner's Material.

November 27, 2015 - Avast (The Free Antivirus) is currently being installed on every computer unit at CED Library. You can download the antivirus at this url: www.avast.com Cases of virus and corrupted files have become rampant this week. The College of Education (CED) Library computer units  are no exemption to this issue. Being publicly used by library patrons, the risk of virus infection on the computer  units is high. Possible culprit for this matter is that students might have attached an infected external hard drive or  flash drive on the computer units. An automatic scan on these drives takes place after the user attach a flash drive to  the unit, however, not all viruses and/or malwares are being detected by the installed scanner. Some malwares are able  to penetrate and install themselves on the computer system.

2 computer units were added to the Research Network Area (Multimedia Section) of the College of Education Library to replace the old damaged computers. Computers inside the CED Library are installed with Faronics' Deep Freeze to preserve each computer's configuration. This way, each computer is protected from virus and malwares. However, students are required to save their documents online or make use of an external hard drive or a USB Flash drive. 

The power outlet that was made open for student’s use is once again OFF LIMITS. This is due to students who are using the power outlet without permission which caused power outage to some computer units and an internet router inside the library. The internet router’s power outage resulted to internet connection problems inside the library (including the multimedia section) and library staff were unable to have their Biometric Finger - Scan Time Attendance System (TAS). This incident resulted to inconvenience not only to the library staff but also other library patrons. However, additional power outlets are being planned after the current renovations within the College of Education building.

While the students are busy about their Palakasan (Sports Festival), I am currently updating this blog and thinking of ways to reach out to students and let them be aware of what's inside the College of Education Library. First banner for CED Library's Unofficial Blog Since this blog is not in any way directly connected to the main university's site, its goal remains the same. That is, to increase the library awareness of the students of the College of Education. Hence, I included "Unofficial" in the blog's banner. Enjoy your Palakasan!
