| Resource Title | Turning futures: a foresight study for PLP library system |
| Date Issued | 6 January 2026 |
| Abstract | This study investigates how different future conditions could shape the development of the Library Management System (LMS) of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP) and, by extension, the role of its library in teaching and learning. Using foresight and scenario-building methods commonly applied in academic library planning, the research constructs four contrasting scenarios—Status Quo, Worst Case, Difficult, and Optimistic— to explore how key driving forces such as funding stability, political support, technological readiness, institutional capacity, and user expectations might interact over time. These scenarios highlight the risks of remaining static or reactive, including technological lag, disengaged users, and the gradual erosion of the library’s relevance, while also illustrating pathways where strategic investment in digitization, staff upskilling, and policy alignment can transform the library into a more responsive, user-centered, and resilient learning hub. From this analysis, the study recommends that PLP prioritize a phased modernization of its LMS through open, modular platforms; strengthen internal technical capacity and continuity planning; institutionalize data and feedback for decision-making; and align library digital initiatives with national higher education and digital transformation frameworks to secure legitimacy and support. In doing so, PLP can position its library not only as a backbone of academic success for its own students but also as a local model for inclusive, future-ready library services within the broader Philippine higher education landscape |
