Abstract:

An innovative library development plan is the key to ensure that academic libraries support the vision and mission of Higher Educational Institutions related to teaching, learning, and research advancements. This inquiry aims to assess the library resources, services, and facilities of a Private Philippine Higher Educational Institution through a longitudinal-descriptive research design. It revealed that library users are highly satisfied with the resources, services, and facilities of the Library Department. On one hand, it is observed that there is a decline in the usage of library resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the salient findings of the study, a development plan was proposed to mitigate and strengthen the growth of library staff, collection, facilities and information infrastructure, service and utilization of the Library Department.
