Date Issued October 2012
Abstract Library and Information Science (LIS) as a field of study has grown over the years in order to better cope with new standards and practices. One of the examples of this growth is the inclusion of several changes to the Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) curriculum.

The study sought to determine how the students and faculty members of selected schools offering LIS perceive the adequacy of their IT courses in terms of the following content, faculty and instruction, and laboratory. It also determined the factors that would identify the current areas of strengths and weaknesses of the IT courses. The study included University of the East, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and University of Santo Tomas.

Through the utilization of the research instruments and using descriptive analysis, it was concluded that the content of IT courses are up to date and spans many fields, the relevance of IT are always emphasized in LIS, and several LIS concepts are the focus points of IT subjects. It was also perceived by the students that "Honesty", "Discipline", and "Commitment" are the top 3 personal qualities an IT teacher should possess and "Preparedness" being the top work quality that an IT teacher should exhibit. It also revealed that several of the schools included in the study still have problems regarding their equipment and laboratory for their IT courses.
