Standards for Academic Libraries for 2010

Preface

“Standards are not a celebration of mediocrity nor intended to provide a
level of comfort by showing activities or statistics that represent a
hypothetical average. Rather, the standards provide a path, sometimes
difficult, to an ideal.” – Illinois Library Association

PAARL Standards for Academic Libraries for 2010 is a document generally
intended to apply to libraries supporting academic programs at institutions
of higher education, specifically, at the bachelor’s degree level (for college
libraries), and master’s and doctoral degree levels (for university libraries).

These standards are designed to help these academic libraries and their
parent institutions in determining priorities and evaluating the library
performance in terms of the mission and goals of the academic institutions
they serve.

While standards are needed in the evaluation of library performance, they
cannot be prescriptive to apply equally to all types of academic libraries,
and still be useful. Although some measures of quality and quantity are
necessary to provide guidance for assessing each element of library
operations and the provision of library services, and to offer guidelines for
their improvements, these standards are designed for the primary need of
determining and establishing measurable expectations within the context of
their institutional goals. An underlying principle of this document is that
each library is unique, and therefore should determine its own criteria for
performance and evaluation, a process which should be undertaken within
the framework of the institution's mission and goals.

When applying these Standards, it is best to be reminded that rapid
changes in information and technology in recent years involve increasing
expectations. With the increase in the availability of information in multiple
formats and the revolutionary changes in library operations and services,
academic libraries are reasonably expected to rise above these standards.

71

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

Mission, Goals and Objectives 1.

The library should have a mission statement and goals to serve as a 1.1.
framework for its activities.

The library’s mission and goals should be consistent with those
developed 1.2. by the parent institution.

The overall mission of the academic library is to provide information 1.3.
services in support of the teaching, research, and public service
missions of the parent institution. The primary goal of the library is to
select, collect, organize, and provide access to all varieties of
information for users. Library programs should be developed with
that goal in mind.

The head of the library is responsible for developing short-and long-term
1.4. goals and objectives in fulfillment of the library’s mission, in
consultation with appropriate representatives from the following
groups (whenever applicable):
Administration officials
Faculty
Library Staff
Students
Trustees or regents
Advisory Boards
State or other governmental units associated with the
Institution

A process of review and revision is required to keep the library’s mission,
1.5. goals and objectives current and relevant.

Administration 2.

The supervision and control of the academic library shall be clearly
defined 2.1. within the organizational structure of the parent
institution.

The library director/head should report to the president or to the
appropriate 2.2. chief academic officer of the institution. The
responsibilities and authority of the library director/head should be
defined in writing.

The library, under its head or director, should be responsible for
managing 2.3. its own affairs.

72

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

This autonomy, however, only reinforces the library’s responsibility to
2.4. maintain effective relationships with administration and faculty
to achieve its purposes. The library should also adhere to institutional
protocols, procedures, and practices as they are stated by the
appropriate agencies within the institution.

The library shall be administered and supervised by a full-time librarian
with 2.5. at least a master’s degree in library science and the
desirable managerial skills and experience.

The college/university librarian shall have faculty or academic status,
and 2.6. shall participate actively, and interact with the faculty, on
curricular and instructional matters, and research activities.

A library committee, comprising of representatives of the student body,
the 2.7. faculty, and the college or university’s administration, shall
serve as an advisory body on matters pertaining to collection
development and use.

The library shall maintain written policies and procedures manuals
covering 2.8. its internal administration and operational activities,
such as a cataloging manual, circulation procedures, collection
development policy, and the like, which shall be reviewed regularly.

Through formal planning procedures and methods, such as strategic
planning, 2.9. the library shall formulate a development plan which
shall include a program for a continued development and
improvement of library resources and services. Corollary to this, it
shall maintain a systematic and continuous program for evaluating its
performance, identifying and applying performance measures that
will reveal the extent to which it has been successful in fulfilling its
mission.

2.10. The college/university librarian shall submit a written annual report
informing the administration and its users on its activities,
accomplishments, problems and needs, and its plan of development.

Human Resources 3.

Size of Staff 3.1.
The library should be staffed in such a way as to meet demands
3.1.1. and expectations. Staff size is determined by many factors,
such as the programs offered, size and scope of collection, the
number of buildings, separate units and service points, and the

73

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

hours during which service is offered. While there are no absolute
requirements, it is clear that the level of service is determined by
the availability of staff.

The ratio of librarians to clerical and other library staff depends on the
3.1.2. range of operations and services provided by the library
and upon its total workload requirements.

Kinds of Staff and Qualifications 3.2.

Library staff should include librarians and other professionals, support
3.2.1. staff, clerks, and students to provide services at the
appropriate levels.

Librarians and other professional staff should possess, in addition
3.2.2. to the educational qualifications, the needed skills and
academic training to meet the academic needs of the institution,
and to provide management support. They should be given
responsibilities matched to their educational competencies and
work experiences.

Likewise, the library support staff, such as technicians, clerks, and
3.2.3. student assistants, should be assigned responsibilities
appropriate to their qualifications, training, experience, and
capabilities.

The library environment is often fragmented by the type of positions
3.2.4. held by its personnel. To avoid possible friction within
library staff, such as from the derogatory connotation of titles like
"semiprofessionals" and "paraprofessionals," care needs to be
taken to maintain good relations between the different categories
of personnel. One approach is to provide titles that recognize the
diversity of positions such as Information Assistants, Media
Technicians, Cataloging Technicians, Readers Assistants,
Encoders, Indexers, etc. Another approach is to provide
categories such as Library Aide, Library Assistant, Librarian I, II,
and so on.

All positions in the library should be established and organized as part
3.2.5. of a career service. Every library should have a written
personnel policy with position descriptions, as well as the
educational requirements for each position.

3.3. Status of Librarians

Librarians shall be given faculty or academic status with 3.3.1. corre-
sponding privileges, compensation and other benefits comparable
or equivalent to those of the faculty members

74

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

(in accordance with institutional policies).
Where faculty rank exists, professional librarians shall meet the same

3.3.2. requirements for promotion and tenure as other faculty.

Recruitment, Selection, Promotion and Compensation of Staff 3.4.

The library staff should be covered by a written policy that clearly
3.4.1. establishes their status, rights and responsibilities,
consistent with sound personnel management. Such a policy
should cover the areas of recruitment, hiring, appointment,
contract renewal, promotion, tenure, dismissal, and appeal, in
addition to working conditions, benefits, and other incentives.

The head librarian shall work in cooperation with the Personnel Office
3.4.2. (or its equivalent) in the recruitment, screening and
selection of library staff.

The head librarian shall conduct an annual performance evaluation
3.4.3. of all library personnel under his/her supervision as basis
for their promotion and corresponding salary adjustment.

Salary schedules should be created and should provide for regular
3.4.4. increases, with provisions for merit increases for superior
performance and continuing education recognition.

A benefit plan that includes social security, workers compensation,
3.4.5. paid vacation and paid sick leave, health insurance, and
retirement should be provided to all library employees as part of
the compensation package given by the employing institution.

Staff Development 3.5.

The changing complexity of library work and ongoing changes in
3.5.1. technology mandate regular staff participation in
continuing formal and informal education.

A continuing staff development program shall be provided with the
3.5.2. corresponding financial assistance from the institution. It
may include formal studies in the field of library or information
science or any other relevant discipline which should be
consistent with the thrust of the library, and other job-related
educational programs such as in-service training,
seminar-workshops, and conferences.

75

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

Librarians participating actively in library and other professional
3.5.3. associations, as well as those engaging in other
appropriate professional activities, should be encouraged.

Financial Resources 4.

The college/university librarian shall prepare, justify, and administer a
4.1. library budget that meets the library’s objectives and the
reasonable expectations of library users when balanced against other
institutional needs.

The annual budget should be between 5 to 10 % of the total operating
4.2. budget of the institution. The operating budget of the library
must be appropriate to the mission of the library within the university
or college, and sufficient to sustain all operations, including
maintenance of automated systems. If it is impossible to meet all
expectations or fund specific new programs this should be made
clear, and a means for setting priorities established.

The library fee shall be set at a realistic level. It should be adequate to
4.3. maintain an appropriate rate of collection development in fields
pertinent to the curriculum. To sustain the library’s growth and
development, the library fee shall be reviewed periodically and
updated whenever necessary. All library fees collected shall be used
exclusively for the library’s collection development.

In addition, adequate funds shall be allocated by the institution for 4.4.
maintenance, replacement, repairs, renovation and for investment in
new and improved means of information access and delivery.

Where institutional funds are inadequate, other ways of augmenting the
4.5. library’s financial resources shall be explored. These include
endowments and donations, and participation in exchange programs
and consortia or cooperative projects.

4.6. Any revenue generated by the library from fees and charges such as
fines, payment for lost or damaged materials, computer search and
printout, and from the sale of duplicate or unneeded items, shall be
retained by the library, preferably in a separate fund account to be
exclusively managed by the college/university librarian, for the
support of its collections and services.

76

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

The library should utilize its financial resources efficiently and effectively.
4.7. It shall maintain internal accounts to monitor its income and
expenses.

The library director/head should have authority to apportion funds and
4.8. initiate expenditures within the library budget and in accordance
with institutional policy.

4.9. The library budget should reflect the library's responsibility for
acquiring, processing, servicing, and providing access to media and
computer resources.

The budget should support appropriate levels of staffing and adequate
4.10. staff compensation.

Collections 5.

Selection and Acquisition 5.1.

Collection development is the joint responsibility of the faculty and
5.1.1. the librarian. The emphasis is on quality rather than
quantity.

There shall be a year-round and carefully planned program of
selecting 5.1.2. and procuring library materials.

The faculty shall actively participate in the selection of print and
non-5.1.3. print materials especially in their area of discipline,
and in developing procedures to facilitate and effectively carry out
the selection and acquisition activities.

The library shall define in writing the policies for collection
development 5.1.4. that will guide the selection and acquisition of
materials. Such policies shall be developed by the library in
consultation with the faculty, and approved by the administration.

The library shall provide for a periodic review of its existing 5.1.5.
collection, for purposes of maintaining the quality of the collection
and its continued relevance to the needs of the library’s users,
and of determining collection strengths and weaknesses.

77

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

Collection Management 5.2.

Collection management not only involves the selection and acquisition
5.2.1. process, but also the organization and use of all materials
in all formats to the level required to support academic programs
in research, teaching, and public service.

Collection management also includes leasing, renting, deselection,
5.2.2. providing access to other collections, planned
resource-sharing and cooperative storage, and electronic access
to databases.

Collection management recognizes the importance of access to 5.2.3.
resources rather on ownership.

The collection management programs of the library should be
developed 5.2.4. jointly by the library and the college/university,
indicating the depth and breadth of the collections, as set out in
an appropriate taxonomy to determine collection levels. The
following levels are generally recommended:
0 Out of scope
1 6. Minimal information
2 7. Basic information
3 8. Study or instructional support
4 9. Research
5 10. Comprehensive
11.
The policies setting out this program should be in written form,
and regularly reviewed.

Adequate funding should be provided to ensure the successful 1.1.5
implementation of the library’s collection management
programs.

Holdings 1.2

The collection shall consist of quality, up-to-date and relevant 1.1.2
resources that support the library’s mission to meet the
curricular, instructional, research, and recreational needs of its
clientele.

Resources may be in a variety of formats, including print or 1.1.3 hard
copy, online electronic text or images, and other media.

78

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

The availability of CD-ROMs, e-resources and online databases is
encouraged to provide alternative options to meet the library
users’ requirements, depending on the number of full-text
titles/ volumes contained therein. Particular consideration shall
be given to the availability of Internet services to supplement
the library’s collection of information resources.

An initial core collection of 5,000 well-selected books for college 1.1.4
libraries, and 10,000 titles for university libraries, usually
selected with the aid of standard lists and other selection tools,
is deemed necessary to meet the educational needs of students
and faculty.

In addition to this core collection, a minimum of five (5) 1.1.5
professional titles per student shall be provided. Recognition
should be given to changes in curricular offerings, and new
academic programs. Equally, recognition should be given to
library contributions to consortial or other resource-sharing
programs.

In addition to the core book collection, a core periodical collection
1.1.6 of current and relevant titles (local and foreign) shall also
be provided.

The holdings shall also include an extensive Filipiniana collection 1.1.7
to meet the ever increasing demand of users for this type of
materials. A comprehensive acquisition of current Filipiniana
titles relevant to the school’s curriculum is strongly
recommended. It is recommended that this Filipiniana collection
be separated from the general collection for purposes of
identity, preservation, and functionality of use.

As far as budget permits, the recommended ratio of volumes to 1.1.8
combined total student population and teaching faculty should
be 10:1. The recommended annual growth rate of the collection
shall be maintained at five percent, and in accordance with
program offerings and enrollment.

Even if the institution meets the above minimum requirements, it
1.1.9 should spend the budget allocated for library materials to
further develop and update its resources.

79

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

Collection currency and vitality should be maintained through 1.1.10
judicious weeding. A regular deselection program shall be
undertaken to keep the collection relevant and up-to-date,
particularly in the fields of science and technology. A three (3)
to five (5) percent replacement of older materials each year is
recommended.

Resources may be provided onsite or from remote storage 1.1.11
locations, on the main campus and/or at off-campus locations.

The provision of textbooks is not the responsibility of the library
1.1.12 but a maximum of five (5) copies of frequently used
titles shall be provided. In the matter of reserve books, a
provision of at least one copy for every twenty-five (25)
students is deemed sufficient.

The library should have a continuing and effective program to 1.1.13
evaluate its collections, resources, and online databases, both
quantitatively and qualitatively.

Organization and Care of Materials 1.3

Collections shall be organized to insure efficient identification 1.1.1
and retrieval, and to provide maximum intellectual and physical
accessibility to the library and its resources The books shall be
catalogued and classified according to an accepted standard of
bibliographic description, and a system of classification, like the
Dewey Decimal System or that of the Library of Congress.
Periodicals shall be indexed.

The catalog shall be in a format (card or electronic) that permits 1.1.2
concurrent or simultaneous use by users of the library. In
addition to the catalog, there should also be subordinate files,
such as subject authority files, shelflists, serial holdings lists,
indexes, and the like, for bibliographic control and intellectual
access to all library materials.

The library shall provide its own cataloging manual of policies and
1.1.3 procedures.

The library shall have a program for the care and reservation of 1.1.4
its own collection. It should have adequate safeguards against
damage, loss, mutilation, and theft, if it is to serve its primary
goal of making its collection available to its users.

80

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

To reduce loss and damage, the library should exercise appropriate
control over use and borrowing.

The library should have a counter-disaster plan to cover minor and
1.1.5 major disasters to include both damage prevention and
damage recovery.

Services 5.

The services provided by the library shall be clearly related to the 1.5
purposes of the institution. Generally, the library should provide a
variety of services that support and expand the instructional,
research and extension service capabilities of the institution.

The library’s services shall be designed to promote and facilitate 1.6
efficient and effective use of its materials in all formats by all of the
library’s clientele.

Services offered by the library shall include reference and information
1.7 services, which are available at adequately identified and
designated points during established service hours.

User instruction shall be provided as specialized and in-depth
assistance 1.8 to all levels of users from freshmen to faculty on the
use of the library’s resources. The library staff should seek to assist
users in finding needed material and developing appropriate search
strategies through a variety of services, such as course-related or
course-integrated instruction, hands-on active learning,
orientations, formal courses, tutorials, pathfinders, and web-based
instruction.”

As an academic unit within the institution, the library should encourage
1.9 lifelong learning, by applying new techniques and technologies
with the traditional methods of information retrieval, evaluation
and documentation. Librarians should collaborate frequently with
classroom faculty; participate in curriculum planning, as well as in
information literacy instruction

The library should ensure optimal access to its own collections and to
1.10 needed resources available elsewhere by developing,
maintaining, and making available for use access tools such as
catalogs, indexes, and other information resources.

81

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

The rules and regulations for the use of the library and its collections
1.11 should be readily accessible to users. Terms of loan and
access to the library’s information resources for all user categories
shall be described. Circulation procedures shall be effective and
efficient

Majority of the stock in the library’s collection shall be readily available
1.12 for lending, and shall be available to authorized clientele
within the context of the library’s purpose, goals and objectives.
The library should check collection availability at regular intervals.

The hours of access to the library shall be consistent with reasonable
1.13 demand.

The library should participate in programs for the sharing of 1.14
bibliographic data.

The library should strive, as far as possible, to enhance information
1.15 access through networking, resource sharing, online
information services, interlibrary loan activities and
document-delivery services to provide access to materials not
owned by the library. The rules and conditions relating to these
programs and services should be clearly explained. Where charges
are required, or where restrictions apply, this should be made clear
to potential users.

Distance learning programs should be promoted by means of remote
1.16 electronic access to collections, the provision of reliable
network connections, and through electronic transmission or
courier delivery of library materials to remote users.

Facilities 6.

Site/Location and Design 6.6

The library shall provide well-planned, secure, and sufficient 6.6.6
space to meet the perceived needs of staff and users and to
meet the housing requirements of its collections including space
for automated services in a properly controlled environment. In
addition, provision for future expansion should be made.

To fulfill its service missions, the library should be close to the 6.6.7
center of campus activity. The college library can be a part of a
building provided it is accessible to the academic community of the

82

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

institution. For a university, it is highly desirable to have a separate
building for the exclusive use of the library and other related
activities. The building shall also be centrally located within the
campus.

The librarian shall be consulted in planning the site/location of the
6.6.8 library, its building design, and other architectural/spatial
details. (Specific details include layout of the buildings, light,
ventilation, temperature and humidity control, stacks, exhibit
areas, and number of reader stations.)

The facilities shall be attractive and ergonomically designed to 6.6.9
provide safety and comfort, and to promote operational
efficiencies and effectiveness of use.

Suitable space for staff workroom, offices, and lounge should 6.6.10
be available.

Space Requirement 6.7

The size of the library building shall take into account the size of 6.7.1
its total user population, the extent and nature of its collection,
and the size of its staff.

Notwithstanding the provision under 7.2.1, special consideration 6.7.2
is given to libraries with automated systems or other library
applications of advanced information technology.

Furniture and Equipment 6.8

Standard library furniture and equipment shall be provided for the
6.8.1 storage and retrieval purposes of library materials.

Necessary equipment to access information and to assist instruction
6.8.2 should be available, when and where they are needed.
These equipment should be efficiently managed and
maintained.

The library shall have facilities for information technology 6.8.3 and
communication services. It shall provide sufficient numbers of
appropriately capable computer workstations for access to
electronic resources. In addition, it should provide appropriate
equipment in adequate quantities and in good working order for
the convenient, efficient consultation, retrieval or dissemination

83

PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC/RESEARCH LIBRARIANS,INC.

of local and remote information resources by the library staff
and its patrons. This includes such IT and communications
equipment as computers with Internet connectivity, printers,
scanners, webcams, fax machines, and other electronic
communications equipment.

Provisions for Reading Comfort 6.9

The library should be adequately lighted, properly ventilated, and
6.9.1 acoustically suited for quiet reading.

It should be aesthetically attractive and properly maintained. 6.9.2
Special provisions should be made for the physically handicapped or

6.9.3 people with disabilities.

Control and Security Measures 6.10

Control and security measures shall be provided for safeguarding
6.10.1 the library and its collections. These security measures
include: provision for ample aisles, emergency exits/escape
doors, fire extinguishers, and screened windows.

Likewise, if feasible, provision shall also be made for emergency
6.10.2 warning device, hiring of security personnel, installation
of monitoring camera, and electronic surveillance system.

Guidelines on safety and disaster preparedness should be 6.10.3
established and implemented.
