November is a very significant month for libraries in the country because it is designated to celebrate National Book Week. National Book Week is an event organized by the Philippine Library Association intended to encourage reading and literacy among Filipinos and to promote libraries the Philippines. It is celebrated annually during the last week of November.
This year’s NBW theme “Kaaya-ayang mag-basa sa Kapaligirang Kay-ganda” emphasized the importance of reading and at the same time caring for the environment.
In line with the theme, the iLRC prepared bulletin board displays and activities promoting reading and raising awareness in protecting the environment through the following:

Zachary Bryan Haw / H1D
Zach is one of the most frequent borrowers in the HS Library. He usually reads materials on history, geography, and world affairs. Among the books that he has borrowed are the following:
The Lexus and the olive tree / Thomas L. Friedman
An Introduction to Philippine history / Jose S. Arcilla, S.J.
Intercontinental’s best of China / Eugene Law
Change we can believe in : Barack Obama’s plan to renew America’s promise
The Six most important issues you’ll ever make : a guide for teens / Sean Covey
If you find these titles interesting, please feel free to approach us at the Circulation counter. You may also use our OPAC to reserve the books or inquire if these are already on shelf.
For all the researches we have done for school, “cite your source” is probably the most used phrase we’ve heard from our teachers.
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines citation as
ci-ta-tion
(abbr.: cit.) > n. 1 a quotation from or reference to a book, paper or author, esp. in a scholarly work.
A citation is required to give due respect to the owners of the idea we borrowed for our research papers and thesis. This saves an individual from violating the copyright law. Citing one’s source also helps other people read more about the topic of the research.
There are several ways how to cite a source, the more common styles of citation are APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Modern Language Association). While the styles vary, most of these give the reader an idea what the title is, who the authors are and when and where the material was published. For some, citation is a very taxing activity but with the aid of websites, citation nowadays can be done in a breeze. All you have to do is plug in the required information and the existing online program will give you the desired format.
The following are some of the programs available online that format your bibliographic information into the required format:
BibMe: BibMe has a database of titles. No log-in is required to access the database. Users will just input the title, author or ISBN number and a list will be generated. Once a title is selected, the formatted bibliographic data will appear on the upper right portion of the screen. You can choose the style and opt to download the formatted data in MS Word format.

CitationMachine: Citation Machine is another online program that can help users properly cite a material. The website starts with the style choices and then by clicking on the link provided, a menu of materials is displayed. This allows the user to choose the proper formatting for the specified material — book, journal, web document, etc. This website requires that the user is familiar with the publisher, the exact title and the author. It is manual in the sense that the user has to look for the required information before clicking on the submit button but the program automatically format the bib info provided according to the chosen style. An ISBN lookup is also available in this website, wherein the user plugs the ISBN number and the matching bibliographic information is displayed. This program allows the user to edit the information (just in case there is a discrepancy in the edition, page number, etc.) before clicking on the submit button.
