LIS Congress 2009 - AM session

February 28, 2009

Speakers:

• Dean Vyva Aguirre


• Hon. Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista


• Ms. Zarah Gagatiga, the Storyteller


• Ma'am Emma Rey, Archivist


• Mr. Juned Sonido, blogger

Personal thoughts:

• Nice to meet other Bedans again other than Yet, like Vice Mayor Bistek and Frank Miranda, a former LISSAP member now based in Batangas.


• Nice to see Vice-Mayor Herbert Bautista again, I remember him from San Beda days in my Mom and Dad's classes. Also bumped into him in high school. Nice to hear about his thoughts on librarianship and its relation to his academic and public service life.


• Listening to Ma'am Emma, I wonder if I should go archives again, been a while since my MLS archives subjects. Need to update.


• I've known Ms. Zarah as a storyteller through her blog http://lovealibrarian.blogpsot.com, a definite pleasure to see a demo of her storytelling. I was mesmerized. I do chalk talk in class, done chamber theater, participative interactive, props, puppets, oral telling and read aloud. But Story Kamishibai really blew me away! Nice that some of the 114 peeps saw it too.


• Talked with old classmate Juned Sonido of the Blog and Soul Movement, http://blogandsoul.net. We talked about the increasing possibility of streaming SLIS content. Might do that in the near future. Juned also blogs at http://baratillo.net, http://dalanghita.com, http://1read2.org and http://radiocubao.com


• I just love this day on a personal note.
