A delegation from the Batangas State University—TNEU Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Mathematics (STEAM) Library visited the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) on 30 July 2024 to learn best practices for managing a thesis/dissertation repository system.
The BatStateU delegation, led by Ms. Analiza A. Frane, Library Services College Librarian III, sought insights from UPOU on its current processes and strategies for enhancing its repository system. The meeting took place at the UPOU headquarters in Los Baños, Laguna.
UPOU University Librarian Mr. Joel Ocier provided an overview of the university’s UPLOAD system, detailing its management and key features.
