Abstract

Library Science is one of the courses of Bestlink College of the Philippines with the least number of enrollees (MIS, 2018). This study aims to assess the level of awareness of the senior high school students towards the Library and Information Science program. The researchers made use of the descriptive method. To gather the needed data, three hundred sixty-three (363) respondents were chosen through random sampling to answer the self-made questionnaire, unstructured interview, and focused group discussion. The result of the study showed that grade 12 senior high school students are moderately aware of the program and their assessment towards the BLIS program was poor. Most of the respondents preferred other courses than the BLIS program. Based on the unstructured interview, the respondents became aware of the BLIS program through school activities, tarpaulins, and brochures. In addition, 83% of the respondents do not consider BLIS as a course in college. The researchers concluded that there is a need to strengthen the promotion of the BLIS program at the BCP. Information campaigns through the conduct of school activities, tarpaulin, and brochures must be continued and other means of promotion campaign be explored.
