Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the library resources and services at Bestlink College of the Philippines in the context of the new normal settings for accessing information. Globally, several challenges have been identified, such as a need for proper knowledge on how to use information retrieval skills, insufficient education provided by the library, and a lack of computer knowledge among students and researchers.

In this research, the researcher used a descriptive method to analyze and expose information on the status of the phenomena being studied, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess library resources.

Based on the summary of findings, the respondents provided varied descriptions. While they experienced some problems in the library, they agreed it was doing its best to maintain cleanliness, peacefulness, and the usefulness of materials and facilities.

The researchers proposed a guide that could be developed to improve library resources and services and guide future problem-solving. Survey research was conducted to assess library resources and services at Bestlink College of the Philippines in the new normal settings. Questions were formulated to guide the study, and the study population consisted of students from 1st to 4th year in different selected courses. Through purposive sampling, 50 students were selected to participate in the study, and a survey questionnaire was used to gather data. The data gathered was analyzed using rankings, percentages, and weighted means.
