DAVAO CITY LIBRARY VENUE FOR THE 2008 CJTY

Contestants of this year’s Campus Journalist of the Year competition will be utilizing the Davao City Library computer facilities for the “on the spot news writingpart of the contest. The contestants need not put pen to paper but instead type a short article on a certain topic given by the judges and email their work to an email address for the judge’s review. Through this process, the judges will have an easy and efficient way of assessing the written article made by each contestant.

The best written article will be featured in the City Library a week after the competition.

Our Davao City Library was considered as one of the outstanding libraries during the centenary of Philippine Public Libraries. Through the leadership of City Librarian Ms. Nora Fe Alajar, the Davao City Library is one of the few public libraries nationwide that is linked to the Philippine Electronic Library (E-Lib). The E-Lib, a database of over 70,000 titles of dissertations, is a project of the Philippine National Library to provide easy access to Filipiniana materials that can otherwise be found only in National Library or known institutions in the General Manila Area.
