USLT LIBRARIES: Technical Section



Brief history and overview of Technical Section
The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao dates its origin from the old Ateneo High school building, founded in 1972 by the Jesuits. The Jesuits priests quarters were converted to High school Library and Laboratories. In 1975, a four room building was constructed as annex to old high school building. In 1999, the Ten-year Development Plan was reviewed by the members of the Louisian community and this was revised to incorporate changes brought about by prevailing situations in the region and in the country. In 1999, the Bishop Constant Jurgens Technical building was renovated and expanded to a three-story building housing the College Library. The years 1998 to 2000 saw the construction of a huge four-storey concrete building right at the center of the campus. This building named as Fr. Theophiel Verbist, the founder of CICM Congregation. This building has been then housing the Treasury and Accounting Department, the Office of the Registrar, the Office of the Chaplain, the canteen, a bookstore, printing shop and a function room on the ground and mezzanine floors. The higher floors have been supporting twenty lecture rooms and computer laboratories. The summer of 2001 called for major movements in the facilities. The three higher floors of the Fr. Theophiel Verbist Building took a major renovation to accommodate the new, modern and fully air-conditioned Learning Resource Center (Library) of the College Departments including the Educational Media Center. That summer too saw the preparation of the Bishop Constant Jurgens Building to become later the Elementary School Building. The first Technical head was Mr. Allan Baccay, and Mrs. Venus I. Guyos was appointed as the second Technical head and at the same time a cataloguer on June 2, 2007. On June 2, 2007 Ms. Venus I. Guyos was appointed as the second Technical head and at the same time a Cataloguer
