Dear Mr. Ramos :

Greetings of peace!

The Cavite Librarians Association, Inc. is organizing a seminar during its annual general assembly on December 5-7, 2007 at La Salette Retreat House, Biga Silang, Cavite with the theme “The New Face of the 21st Century Libraries and Information Specialists”. It is a three day seminar which aims to enhance the library personnel’s analytical ability, communication skills, intellectual curiosity and service orientation on the current trends and practices in the library world.

With this, we are pleased to invite you as one of the resource speakers of the said seminar. As one of the speakers, we would like to request you to discuss/speak on the topic, “Information Literacy: Developing Library Customer’s Information Competencies.” You will be having your part on the 2nd day, December 6, 2007 at 8:00 in the morning.

For your reference, we have attached the forum program of activities.

Working to educate librarians and information professionals on such relevant issue, we need strong voices from the community of library experts to help us realize the objectives of this endeavor. We gratefully acknowledge that your contribution is essential to the success of this seminar.

We look forward to working with you on this forum. Thank you and more power.

However, may we invite you to be with us on September 12 from 10-12 a.m. We shall be inviting other stakeholders in LIS education to help us discuss expectations for a good MLIS curriculum and we would appreciate your gracing this occasion with your valuable input on the quality of graduate programs for LIS. It will be held at the Centro Escolar University Library, Mendiola, Manila.
