The changing library spaces:
insight on AEA benchmarking

little boys astounding story of his trip to heaven and back.

Airwaves Research will be heard every Thursday at 4:00
to 5:00 p.m. over 95.9 Green FM, Basta Radyo, Dito Ka.

The Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo held library tour on June
4 to benchmark library services, programs and facilities with top
three caliber libraries in the country today. It also aimed to provide
library personnel an opportunity to witness, learn and experience
on-hand recent library innovations, creative library spaces and
library hospitality.

The first stop was the Ateneo De Manila University Rizal
Library (ADMU-RL) where the group spent half of the day. Thru
the hospitality of librarians Susan Pador, Kareen Banal and Shie
Montenegro, the AEA personnel discovered the best assets of Rizal
library from its appealing library ambience to strategic branding
plan to out of the box services (e.g. selfcheck-out), precious
heritage collection and digitization programs. The group was also
lucky to have a photo opportunity with Dr. Von Totanes, director of
the ADMU libraries.

The next route was the Henry Sy Sr. Hall where the new
De La Salle University Libraries, now called Learning Commons
is located. Impressed by its huge spaces, modern interior and
furniture, indoor garden, and flexible learning environment
combined with caf, exhibition halls, multipurpose-halls and
several discussion rooms not to mention its vast library collections
of print, non-print and online resources. The learning commons
is designed to accommodate varied students learning styles and
multiple learning activities all at the same time. According to DLSU
Library Newsette, the Learning Commons hoped to bring out the
creative juices, generate ideas, inspire and engage its patrons in a
lifelong journey. ...continued on page 4

Loyola crafts Online Reservation

System
Library Associate Victorino Loyola of Electronic Resource
Services crafted another library automation system for the Aklatang
Emilio Aguinaldo. This time he crafted the Hands-On-Training
(HOT) Online Reservation System. The system allows the faculty
members to book a class schedule for HOT program. Facilitated by
AEA librarians, this program teaches students and faculty members
how to conduct research using authoritative and peer-reviewed
on-line resources subscribed by the library. Online Reservation

The changing library spaces...

The Br. Fidelis Leddy Learning Resource Center of the
College of St. Benilde (CSB) just across DLSU Manila was the last in
the itinerary. With the assistance of Michael Mojica, library director
and his two library personnel, the group was given quick guided
tour of its Library Commons located at the 8th floor, School of
Design and Arts. Similar to DLSU Learning Commons, the place is
equipped with ergonomic, functional and comfortable black leather
sofas, computer units and several electrical outlets. An ideal place
to hold collaborative activities as well as for inquisitive, creative,
artistic, and innovative minds of CSB academic community.

The commonalities from the three libraries that we have
visited are their openness and sensitivity to the megatrends that
are happening in educational system that also affect library users
learning style. These libraries provide learning spaces that are
dynamic, flexible and interactive as proposed by library commons
model. It offers a total educational experience which is intellectually
engaging, stimulating and self-organising as theorized by Freeman.

The benchmarking tour clearly mesmerized us by the
advances in library design and technology and at the same time
allows us to ponder and envisage the future of the AEA.

Featured Book

of the Month

Gagamba:
the spider man
F. Sionil Jos
Jose, F. S. (1991). Gagamba: the spider man. Manila: Solidaridad Pub. House.

IRC 4909; PS 9993.J68 .G121 1991

The story looks at the Filipino, his thoughts, ways, life and the society he lives in. His image is seen in how he deals with
the following issues: prostitution, politics, poverty, graft/corruption, discrimination, injustice, death, God, evil and catastrophe.
Examined are situations which lead into identifying the image of Filipino males as he interacts with women, other men and
children. The author presented several representation of the Filipino males seemingly to assist readers in self-introspection so as
to choose whom are they associating their characters, making these fictitious characters as mirrors. History is an important factor
affecting the characters in the formation of their values and thoughts as they are considered as vital influence in the emergence
of the Filipino identity.
Tranquilino Penoy a.k.a. Gagamba is the cripple ticket vendor becomes the observer cum narrator in the story. His physical
deformities were compensated by his sharp mind coupled with industry that people in his surrounding learned to regard him with
respect and admiration. He survived the killer quake that uneventful Sunday afternoon together with the little child, an offspring of
the beggar couple. The tragedy raises questions on the essence of living, who is lucky? Is it the chief waiter at Camarin who died
and allowed himself the comfort of not seeing his wife died of cancer? Is Jim Denison lucky? He died at the peak of his happiness,
upon finally seeing his long-lost sister after years of searching and longing. Is it Fred Villa who survived the earthquake but is
paralyzed down? The tragic event also posts a question about God and religion. How does God see his people? Why did He allow
deaths in Camarin? Why did both righteous and evil people perished together? Why are Gods purposes? Why did it happen in
Camarin when there are many other places which are more deserving of Gods wrath?
The author dissects the Filipino image through the situation presented in the story: Philippine politics based on patronage,
gratitude and personal loyalty (officials in the institutional government are representatives of the people, anything for personal
interest have no place among those in government positions); the uneven distribution of wealth like land owners with vast
haciendas while tenants wallow in debts and landlessness; military officers in business of prohibited drugs acting as drug mules;
rich businessmen whose passion is sensual delight and satisfaction of libido. The author did not exclude the reality that there are
good people like Fr. Hospicio de la Terra whose sense of justice and charity is outstanding because he is incapable of drinking or
eating with exorbitant prices; Gastys exemplary stance over winning corruption of any kind because he could see the evil of social
injustice; the former prostitute Elisa chose to redeem herself by leaving the flesh den and became a nun. The waiters Mabiniand
Rizal typify ordinary Filipino workers who strive in their jobs with the hope of improving their lives as well as of their families
and the community where they are. In the book too, are the strata of Philippine society: the wealthy mostly those who own
properties either large tract of land or proprietors of business corporations. With them are professionals occupying high positions
in their employment. They are few yet possess big amount of money with influence and power. The poor comprises the have-not
because most of them are peasants and laborers, with barely amount of money to buy their basic necessities. Within the stories
are struggles of the poor to avail of better living conditions because poverty connotes exploitation, oppression and deprivation.
Though the majority is poor, they are ruled by the rich as money becomes the framework of power and prestige in the country.
The male characters portrayed evils-physical, social and moral. Gagamba experienced physical evil as he was born with
deformities. Social evils find their manifestation in men through exploitation and oppression. Social evils exercised by men are
infidelity, philandering, pimping, graft and corruption, gross materialism and usurping. The male characters responded differently to
varied forms of evils. Either they responded by being courageous, passivists, manipulators, opportunists, escapists, manipulators,
opportunists, escapists or human beings who stood their ground. In the situations cited, one may see the following realities: 1) in
God everyone is the same it is only man that sees all the unnecessary as beauty, power, prestige, positions; 2) Filipino prioritizes
family - good job, childrens education and secured/better life and; 3) Death as a universal symbol of equality.
The title is revealing because like the arachnid or gagamba, it is up to us how we make our webs, as life is a huge web.

Movie

Peek

This section contains soft analysis of the newest movie currently showing in theater to guide the DLSU-D viewers and
for possible library acquisition.

A very clear connotation that Maleficent does want to

protect Aurora, but her power is not enough to fight it and
defend her from harm. This also shows that by nature shes
good since shes guarding Aurora ever since shes still a baby.
I Had Wings Once
Princess Aurora: All the other fairies fly. Why dont you?
Maleficent: I had wings once, and they were strong. They
could carry me above the clouds and into the headwinds,
and they never faltered. Not even once. But they were stolen
from me.
Maleficents disclosure of her previous life to Princess
Aurora, uttering that she once had wings but an evil force
stole it from her and turn her to evil. Thus, implying that
humans are naturally good,
Maleficent (2014)
Running Time: 97 minutes
Genre: Action / American fantasy thriller
Director: Robert Stromberg
Screenplay: Linda Woolverton
Casts: Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley,
Sam Riley, and Brenton Thwaites

Maleficent, a modern-day classic and Disneys

reinvention of Sleeping Beauty, was a true enchantment. The
scenery is awe-inspiring and it was immensely impressive to
turn the scenic design into a real fantasy-like world. Musical
score, cinematography, production designs as well as the
totality of the film were surely fascinating. Surprisingly, the
dialogues of each character are well annunciated and if ever
one looks at it in the analytical manner, it will exert such
immense influence on us. The following important quotes
(dialogues) which persuasively help individuals to appreciate
and understand the value of life were highlighted in the
movie.
What An Awkward Situation
Maleficent: Well, well, what a glittering assemblage, King
Stefan. Royalty, nobility, gentry, and, how quaint, even
the rabble. I must say, I really felt quite distressed in not
receiving an invitation.
King Stefan: Youre not welcome here.
Maleficent: Oh dear, what an awkward situation.
These incidents portray a perfect resemblance in
Sleeping Beauty, wherein Maleficent crashes the baptismal
ceremony of Princess Aurora even though she was not
invited.
There Is An Evil in This World
Maleficent: Aurora, there is an evil in this world, hatred and
revenge. And I cannot keep you from it.

Dont Be Afraid (smarter lines)

Princess Aurora: I know who you are. Youve been watching
over me, my whole life. I know youre there. Your shadow, its
been following me, ever since I was small. Dont be afraid.
Maleficent: Im not afraid.
Princess Aurora: Then come out.
Maleficent: Then youll be afraid.
Maleficent was caught in the woods by Princess Aurora
forcing the evil queen to expose herself. Aurora thinks that
Maleficent is afraid but the truth is Aurora will get scared of
her appearance since she was bearing a huge horn.
A Sleeplike Death
Maleficent: Listen well, you all! The princess will indeed grow
in grace and beauty. But before the sunset on her sixteenth
birthday, she will prick her finger on a spindle of a spinning
wheel, and she will fall into a sleep-like death!
The angry Maleficent, unleash a curse to Princess
Aurora, same with what happens in Sleeping Beauty,
wherein she puts the princess into a deep sleep.
Much like many books and movies in our day, the author
would disclose the stories based on the protagonists point
of view. In this modern classic film, the story highlighted the
antagonists point of view. Maleficent created an impact to
the audience particularly on emotional aspects. The movie
bounded them to believe in the veracity of events and adopts
values persuaded by the film. This film presents a powerful
influence that contribute to spiritual change, coaching us
to accept and reject aspects of society, shaping language
and meaning and persuading self-image. Its most essential
message is to ignore the supremacy of gluttony and hatred
and embraced the power of love and generosity. Also, it
illustrates that the pureness of Aurora continues until the end
even shes surrounded by darkness. [Eden Fabella]
