As they fervently support the agenda of lifelong learning, libraries recognise that there are various influences that redefine the process of student learning. Admittedly, librarians need to be more creative in motivating post-millennial students to help them fully develop their Media and Information Literacy (MIL) skills. This paper explores how games are adopted and utilised by academic libraries as an interactive approach to entice students to learn essential MIL competencies. It shows how games can be a viable tool not only to deliver information literacy (IL) instruction in a collaborative learning environment but to also effectively engage and attract students to use the library resources and services. While the use of games is not novel, the way it is delivered and re-purposed to meet MIL competencies is vital for today's young generation of learners. This report demonstrates how two academic libraries in the Philippines and Kazakhstan were able to embed MIL skills through a library race challenge. Furthermore, this paper discusses the practical steps undertaken in the preparation of the game as well as the observations made during and after the activity was conducted. From this, other libraries may gain insights and best practices on how to leverage this method to further champion MIL in their own communities.Item Open Access The amazing library race: Developing the students MIL skills through games: the case of the Philippines and Kazakhstan(UNESCO, 2019-10-07) Yap, Joseph M.; Penaflor, JaniceIn this time of disinformation and misinformation, the libraries remain to be a reliable source of truthful and factual information. As they fervently support the agenda of lifelong learning, libraries recognize that there are various approaches that redefine the process of student learning. Admittedly, librarians need to be more creative in motivating the post-millennial students to help them fully develop their Media and Information Literacy (MIL) skills. This paper explores how games are adopted and utilized by academic libraries as an interactive approach to entice students to learn the essential MIL competencies. It presents how games could be a viable tool not only to deliver information literacy instruction in a collaborative learning environment but to also effectively engage and attract students to use the library resources and services. While the use of games is not novel, the way it is delivered and re-purposed to meet the MIL competencies is vital in today’s young generation of learners. In addition, this presentation highlights how two academic libraries in two separate countries were able to embed MIL skills through a race challenge. Furthermore, this paper discusses the practical steps undertaken in the preparation of the game as well as the observations made during and after the activity was conducted. With this, other libraries may gain insights and best practices on how to leverage this method to further champion MIL in their own communities.Item Open Access Application of P index to evaluate the ranking of productive authors in Malaysia(UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR, 2012) Assylbekova, KamilyaThis particular research aims to investigate the p-index or performance indicator proposed by Prathap in 2010. The concept of analogy between such branches of physics as mechanical and electrical physics, kinetics, thermodynamics and scientometric field was assumed, and it seems to be an incredibly interesting consilience. Perceiving standard bibliometric measures as an energy which each paper carries, allow us to operate with these numbers in a new way. P index, which is calculated as p=X1/3 =(iC)1/3=(c/pC)1/3=(c2/p)1/3, where C is the total number of citations received and P is the total number of publications, were computed for 499 top productive authors affiliated with Malaysian institutuions, who were retrieved from Web of Science Database...Item Open Access The Benefits of a LibGuide(IFLA, 2018-01) Yap, Joseph M.; Wee, JoanItem Open Access A BRIEF RUNDOWN ON THE CONCEPT OF AUTHORITIES IN LIBRARY CATALOGUING(Nazarbayev University Library, 2020-05-14) Manabat, AprilPresented during the NU Library Staff Session last 14 May 2020.

More true in it sense, people living in areas with limited or no internet access at all should be more critical and analytical about every information they encounter as this may affect their perspectives on things and life in general. This paper documents how media and information literacy was promoted and introduced to selected Senior High School (SHS) students and teachers of Loyola College of Culion (LCC) in Isla Culion, Palawan, Philippines. Theeffectiveness of the seminar-workshops conducted among the participants was also determined as well as their working knowledge on MIL through some tests and group activities. This case study also revealed that the participants’ working knowledge has increased after being exposed to the lectures and activities. Furthermore, the participants highlighted how they found MIL valuable in critically evaluating sources of information and how to use social media responsibly. In addition, the participants found the seminar-workshop engaging and recommended to have more sessions like this in improved in the future.Item Open Access BUILDING A CULTURE OF INTEGRITY THROUGH LIBRARY INITIATIVES, ACADEMIC COLLABORATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT(KAZGUU University.

It is a real testimony of our history. However, OHs are now neglected and somehow unpopular. Strategies must be done to make sure that OH projects should continue to be used as proofs. The purpose of this paper is to go back in time and review the OH in Asia, in the Philippines, and the collection at De La Salle University. Design/methodology/approach This study explores the OH collection of the DLSU Archives. Data are extracted from the Sierra library system. Extracted subjects are arranged alphabetically. They are presented and summarized below. Historical data coming from the correspondences kept at the archives are also used to understand how the collection accumulated and how they are being organized, classified, and used by the patrons. Literature reviews are also consulted to learn more about the background of OH in the Philippines. Findings A total of 176 subjects are identified. These subjects are selected on the basis of the Library of Congress Classification Scheme which is re-categorized according to the Philippine Standard Industrial Classification to identify which type of industry does each OH belong to. The category on professional, scientific and technical activities had 30 LCC-related subjects or 16.95 percent of the total number of subjects, next is 15.25 percent or 27 LCC-related subjects which comes from the arts, entertainment and recreation, and top three is Public Administration and Defense; Compulsory Security with 10.23 percent. Research limitations/implications This paper shares the challenges and experiences of establishing and maintaining OHs. Practical implications The paper presents new ways or initiatives to capture OH other than the traditional and usual process. Social implications Oral interviews are given proper attention as part of the local history. Originality/value There is a scarcity of OH papers written by librarians; therefore, this paper presents the current status of OH in the country.Item Open Access CATALOGUING PRACTICES IN KAZAKHSTAN AMIDST PANDEMIC: THE NAZARBAYEV UNIVERSITY LIBRARY EXPERIENCE(IFLA Metadata Newsletter, 2020-12) Manabat, AprilThe COVID-19 pandemic has indeed brought a drastic change both in industries and educational institutions around the globe. This crisis has forced many governments to close many institutions, even cultural centers such as libraries, to minimize physical and social interactions with the hope of “flattening the curve.” The same is true in Kazakhstan. Libraries are forced to close their doors physically but still expected to respond to the informational needs of their clients remotely. As many schools and universities are now shifting into the online mode of learning, libraries are putting their best efforts to providing synchronous and asynchronous services to their clients during the pandemic...Item Open Access Cloud infrastructure of INP'S Astana branch - PE "NULITS" and its integration with distributed JINR cloud infrastructure(XXII INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS AND SPECIALISTS (AYSS-2018), 2019-04-23) Mazhitova, Yelena; Balashov, Nikita; Aleksandr, Baranov; Kutovskiy, Nikolay; Semenov, Roman; Potapchuk, BorisThe article describes the Institute of Nuclear Physics’ (INP) Astana branch - private establishments “Nazarbayev University Library and IT services” (PE NULITS) cloud and its integration with the distributed cloud infrastructure consisting of the Laboratory of Information Technologies of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) cloud as well as clouds of some JINR Member State organizations.
