It was another gainful day for those who attend the three-day seminar- workshop, organized by the Association of Special Libraries of the Philippines (ASLP), last May 6-8, 2009 at Sampaguita Gardens Resort, Poblacion, New Washington, Aklan. This year’s theme is “Collection Management: Current Trends, Practices and Future Directions”.
As part of our commitment to a good service for Philippine libraries, providing them new technology to cater their library needs, EISI who came as an exhibitor once again was given a chance to present our newest products. First, the Follett’s Destiny Library Manager software, a totally web-based library automation and educational asset management software for consortia and multiple campuses with all functions like OPAC, cataloging, circulation, inventory, reports and others requiring no more than a web browser. Also, the Follett’s Cir/Cat (Circulation Plus, Cataloging Plus and Web Collection Plus) that includes a fully integrated database accessible from the different modules and which may be searched over the internet and all data entered are compliant with MARC 21, the standard data format for libraries. Lastly, the Inmagic information management software that organize and deliver enterprise content, seamlessly integrate internal and external content sources and deploy business critical information to corporate portals, intranets, extranets and the Web.
Thank you ASLP for trusting our products! EISI got a plaque of appreciation from this active and enthusiastic group of special librarians.

The much awaited 4th edition of Follett Comprehensive Training Course was finally held last August 19-22, 2008 at Cebu Doctors’ University (CDU), Mandaue City, Cebu. The four-day training course drew twenty six (26) participants nationwide with this year’s theme: “Sustaining the Needs of Filipino Librarians for Proper Library Management with the use of Follett CirCat system”.
As trainer of this event, Ms. Sonia Gementiza, Library Director of DLSU-Dasmarinas, shared her knowledge and experiences to give the participants in-depth knowledge of the Follett library automation software. Moreover, our software specialist, Mr Pedro Tabinas, gave the participants additional information on the technical management of the software. Our Follett customers were able to interact and learn from each other’s experiences with library automation during this four-day training. It was a fruitful event for the participants as they gain inputs on the proper library management using Follett Circat system.
Thank you Dr. Enrico B. Gruet, CDU VP for Academic Affairs, Ms. Emeline Baco, Chief Librarian, and all CDU Librarians and staff for allowing us to hold the course in your university and helping us get it done!
It was indeed an effective training of Follett. We had learned so many things with regard to the different modules. We were given a chance to asked questions, and the speakers accommodate all our queries. More power Follett! – Participant
