ABSTRACT

This study sought

to

determine

the

readiness

of

selected public secondary schools

in

Pampanga

to

use

5' S in

improving

their

library services through a description of their present status, services, quality of management orientation of school library administrators, and improvement

of

library services vis-d-vis housekeeping

functions. lt

made use of the survey type

of

research where a total of 296 teachers and 422 students from 19 target public secondary schools

in

Pampanga were involved as

respondents. The

univariate descriptive analysis

on data

gathered, enabled the researcher to conclude that: 1) the target school libraries have

been

established

with most of them partially

operational

based

on

adequacy of collection as well as the limited time of teacher-librarians for various library tasks on account of their teaching loads; 2) the library is not a top priority in the public school despite of its acknowledged vital role as reveale<i

from the

moderate involvement

of schsol

principals,

lack

of qualifications of teacher-librarians, and their heavy teaching load; 3) the target librarians have performed their rnandated functions that are heavily inclined toward library staff than rnanagerial functions; and 4) the target school libraries are ready to practice 5' S based on the teacher-librarians being client-oriented, the quality of management orientation of principals

as

head

of

school library, and

the

teacher-librarians having performed housekeeping functions that could further improve the library atmosphere with the adoption of 5' S.

The

researcher

felt that

irnprovement

of

library management will result to improvement of library services in public secondary schools that can be facilitated by 1) providing teacher-librarians with opportunities for professional development, more time in the library, and promotion of the various application

of 5' S in

school;

and 2) the

conduct

of

^process-

documentation type of research on the implementation of 5' S to monitor the various problems and concerns in establishing

5'

S as entry strategy

for

TQM

as well as

studies

on

impact

of the

library

on the

scholastic achievement

of

students

in order ts

improve

the work

conditions of teacher-librarians.
