Libraries, as social spaces, have its own capacity to influence change and lead programs that can either be an eye-opener or just simply be an advocate for positive ideas that will inspire and motivate people to be open-minded, thus transforming individuals to embrace the concept of inclusivity and diversity. Our presentation will include two successful programs namely the Week of Women and Human Library. These library programs were fully launched in our library in 2018 and 2016 respectively. After doing these programs for quite some time, we surveyed and asked the opinions of our participants including the discussants and human books about the positive and if there are any negative implications of the programs. The topic on gender equality specially those pertaining to LGBTQIA+ can be a sensitive area and may offend certain individuals. Our proposal and instrument were sent to the Institutional Research Ethics Committee of the Nazarbayev University and were approved for implementation. The results of the study showed that participants believed that gender-related programs of the library have positive effects in stimulating a gender-balanced society. 64% said that both programs are very positive in terms of encouraging a gender-neutral society. 55% said that library programs are also very positive in promoting the rights and responsibilities of women (and LGBTQIA+). 64% agreed that they are very positive in endorsing inclusivity and diversity. Only 36% said that the programs are very positive in eliminating all forms of discrimination against women, girls, (and LGBTQIA+) in public and private spheres. Lastly, 45% believed that the programs are very positive in recognizing the role and achievements of women (and LGBTQIA+) in various fields and sectors. The programs increased awareness on gender equality among the academic community and promoted the welfare and rights of marginalized sectors. These programs addressed various stigmas, thus empowering vulnerable groups to stand up to discrimination. This presentation will address SDG 5 to provide a glimpse of how libraries can advance gender equality in a post-Soviet era where patriarchy continues to be deeply rooted in the society. The Week of Women and Human Library are few leading examples to attain a gender-balanced community. These programs supporting SDGs also uplift the self-esteem and confidence of the forgotten and the invisible. The Library is committed to achieving the SDG targets by providing a diverse collection and participatory engagement from all stakeholders of the university, thus ensuring “women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision making in political, economic and public life.” Aside from this, as much as possible, the Library aims to be a bridge paving the way to eliminating gender disparity. The HL program affords an excellent opportunity to give attention to the underserved. Further supporting an end to all forms of discrimination and inequality. Social inclusivity is the key to a better community.Item Open Access Librarians as researchers: an emerging trend in the profession(De La Salle University Libraries; Philippine Normal University Library and Information Science Alumni Association, 2020-07-02) Yap, Joseph M.Research performance among Filipino librarians is gradually increasing based on five-year SciVal data from the period 2015-2019.

Lazaryan, 2020-10-08) Yap, Joseph M.Objectives In these trying times due to the global effect of pandemic, what social media accounts do academic libraries in Kazakhstan maintain and how can they improve their social media engagement to continuously connect with their stakeholders? This report provides an overview of the current status of social media engagement of select academic libraries in Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 crises. This paper will give us a picture about the kinds of online postings shared by these libraries particularly with the use of Facebook. Methods The top two universities ranked by Independent Quality Assurance Agency (IQAA) were considered in this report to compare with the only autonomous organization of education in Kazakhstan. The library social media accounts of these three organizations were investigated to review the number of followers, frequency of posting, and its overall social media engagement. Data collected is publicly available to all potential users, followers, or subscribers. Using the post engagement rate (PER) formula introduced by Socialbakers (2013) and adapted by Peñaflor (2018) & Magno (2016), this report identifies and analyzes the average PER Facebook pages maintained by academic libraries. The engagement metrics looked into the number of interactions and the widest reach possible in every post. All three academic libraries investigated maintain a Facebook page. The other account was just created last February 2020. To compare Facebook data during the pandemic times, public information available from June – August 2020 were measured. Results The social media platforms operated by the academic libraries in Kazakhstan are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VK, and YouTube. One of the earliest academic library Facebook accounts established in Kazakhstan started in 2010 with less than 3,000 accumulated followers after ten years. This shows a very slow rise in the number of followers considering an academic population of more than 5, 000 people in 2020. Data revealed that Eurasian National University Library’s Facebook account had a higher PER of 0.83 even if it only debut in 2020 compared to the Facebook page of Nazarbayev University which garnered 0.22 PER. KAZNU Library’s Facebook page had the highest PER of 1.02. Conclusions Facebook is the most popular social media platform across the globe but it is not the case in Kazakhstan. Library marketing and promotion in Kazakhstan needs to be addressed as public relations is not the primary focus. The utilization of social media as a tool for user engagement is not fully developed. One way to look at it is to consider library staffing and identify their marketing background. The pandemic situation must be the turning point of academic libraries to enhance their reach with their stakeholders. It was a test to know the readiness of the library in terms of online communication and interaction.Item Open Access Unlocking the Lives of Human Books: Sharing Videos to Inspire People Hiding in the Shadows(UIN Sunan Kalijaga (Presented in 2nd AICONICS), 2020-10-21) Yap, Joseph M.Human books voluntarily share their life stories with readers to let them understand what they are going through and how they survived their struggles.

Just like any other library programming events, human libraries are vividly documented in photographs, videos, social media, newsletters, and activity reports. This presentation seeks to explore the role of video sharing sites as a tool to promote library events, specifically human libraries. Existing uploaded playlist videos pertaining to human libraries hosted by academic and public libraries will be the focus of this presentation.Item Open Access ENHANCING THE YOUTH’S INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA(Philippine Association for Media and Information Literacy, 2020-11-07) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access INTERNATIONALIZING THE ACADEMIC LIBRARY(UPHSL-MLIS, 2020-11-21) Yap, Joseph M.Present tips on how to internationalize academic libraries and librarians.Item Open Access International Reference and User Services Librarianship(College of Education, University of Santo Tomas, 2020-12-02) Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH(Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland, 2020-12-09) Yap, Joseph M.The Nazarbayev University Library is committed to re-tooling librarians and specifically its subject librarians (SL) to enhance their competencies in teaching Information Literacy (IL). Collegial support and mentoring are needed to ensure everyone is informed of the new trends and development in IL. With occasional turn-over of library staff, the challenge is to train novice professionals for uninterrupted services. IL modules are currently in place yet there is a need for constant updating to ensure the quality of IL teaching. A review of IL frameworks is needed to provide them with a good foundation. IL supports academic integrity and it should be discussed in the schools and universities as early as possible. This paper will explore the current status of librarians in terms of their working knowledge in referencing and related academic integrity aspects as part of the research process. Professional development programs are constantly developed to strengthen the competencies of librarians. Better library research support will happen if librarians are equipped with the right knowledge and skills.Item Open Access MIL AND INFORMATION DISCERNMENT(Nazarbayev University Library, 2021-01-30) Manabat, AprilThis presentation was held online during the 3rd National Forum on Media and Information Literacy last 23 and 30 January, 2021.
