About

The University of the Philippines Diliman College of Engineering (UP COE) Library advocates user responsibility and lifelong learning through its initiatives and programs. It realizes its role in inculcating values among its users by going beyond providing the best resources and services to its users. 

In 2008, the UP COE Library initiated the I Need. I Value. I Love My Library. Advocacy to help librarians and information professionals promote the responsible use of the library, its resources, and facilities to their user communities. Eight years after its establishment, the campaign sustained and is now one of the most well-known advocacies being adopted by libraries all over the country and some libraries overseas.

"I Need. I Value. I Love My Library." is a library awareness campaign which promotes shared responsibility with library users (i. e., students, faculty, and researchers) in the care, upkeep and maintenance of library materials, facilities and equipment.

Vision

To unite diverse library communities with an awareness campaign promoting the importance of the users’ responsible use of the library and their integral value as library stakeholders in the advancement of the institution.

Mission

To take the lead in implementing and advocating the campaign to the UP College of Engineering Library community as well as to other library institutions by

• Integrating the campaign with the Library’s instruction program

• Establishing the campaign’s presence locally and internationally during events or activities held by library organizations and associations

• Providing a venue to disseminate strategies and methodologies to implement the campaign through a campaign website

• Creating, designing, and producing various merchandise to publicize the campaign

Campaign Logo

Since the campaign is being adopted and implemented by several institutions, the library realized the importance of branding it to achieve unity and consistency with all the stakeholders. The campaign logo was created and designed by UP EnggLib. Upon adoption of the campaign, the library only requests that the campaign logo be preserved and used as it is without any alteration.
