Who can take the
Librarians Licensure Examination this 2009?
I heard a lot of questions about who can take the LLE
this 2009. A lot of us was confuse, some says that November
2009 will be the last chance for the BSE major in LS and other
LIS graduates other than the BLIS and MLIS. But based on the
talk of Mrs. Elizabeth R. Peralejo, Board for Librarians during
our class at the University of Philippines, she stressed out that
only repeater and graduates of BLIS, MALIS, MSLIS and MLIS
will be allowed to take the 2009 LLE. Fresh graduates of other
courses (e.g. BSE Major in Library Science) are no longer
allowed.
This clarification was based on the Republic Act No.
9246, Article III. Section 15: The Qualifications of
Applicants for LLE. Based on this section,
” Graduate of Bachelor’s degree in Library Science and
Information Science: Provided, that a holder of Information
Science shall be allowed to qualify for application to the
Licensure examinations. Provided, further, that within five
(5) years from the effectivity of this Act (March 16, 2004),
holders of the following degrees shall also be allowed to
qualify for application to the licensure examination.
