Conclusions. Finally, interests in having a unified online catalog as well as more trainings on the field of cataloging and metadata librarianship in the future has also been considered by these libraries to improve the quality of their cataloging work.Item Documenting the Cataloging Practices and Policies among Selected Libraries in Kazakhstan (abstracts)(Дніпровський національний університет залізничного транспорту ім. акад.

This study employed a descriptive approached to determine the satisfaction of users with the virtual service of Nazarbayev University Library during the Spring 2021 to Spring 2022 semesters. Using the data gathered from LibAnswers’ Quality of Service (QoS), this study examines various metrics in answering the queries received both in synchronous (chat service) or asynchronous (email service) virtual service. Statistical data from were tabulated and analyzed and the feedback from patrons will be interpreted using Voyant Tools, a web-based data visualization software. Results. The study describe how patrons were satisfied with the virtual library service of NU Library as perceived through their feedback and their overall experience of the service. In addition, the study pointed out that the Library considers all virtual transactions urgent and put the satisfaction of their patrons on top priority based on the metrics. Conclusions.

Analyzing the Impact of Online Work Immersion among the Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) Students amidst the Pandemic(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2023) Calvo, Catherine J. B.; Marcelo, Valiant A. P.; Pariñas, Paolo D.; Regala, Michal R. G.; Telemban, Cj M.; Villaflor, Mickey D.; Manabat, April R.; Lirio, Vivian A.; Julian, Rhodora R.ENG: Objective. This study aims to document the impact of online work immersion among Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) students at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The study highlighted the experiences of BLIS students who underwent online work immersion during the school year 2022-2023 including their challenges and difficulties in completing their work immersion hours. Methods. This research study employed a descriptive quantitative approach to document the impact of online work immersion among Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) students of Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) during the School Year 2022-2023. The researchers used purposive non-probability sampling in gathering the respondents. A total of 63 BLIS 4th-year students who were enrolled in Library Practice subjects agreed to participate in the study and were asked to rate 40 statements using a Likert Scale (1- strongly disagree and 5 - strongly agree). These statements were used to describe their overall experiences as well as the challenges they encountered with the online work immersion. The statements highlighted their difficulties, their coping mechanisms, as well as their readiness to perform professional library work. The researchers employed statistical methods such as frequency distribution, percentage, and weighted means to interpret and analyze the data gathered and provide more compelling results for the study. Results. The study revealed that most of the students experienced some challenges in terms of distance learning and connectivity issues. In addition, the said challenges were overcome through various coping mechanism strategies such as establishing rapport with workmates as well as learning and researching the given tasks in advance. Conclusion. The study also revealed a high preference for onsite practice training among students in terms of acquiring more knowledge and skills in the actual workforce.
