Special Problem (Master of Library Science)--University of the Philippines Diliman May 2000. This is a biographical study of Marina G. Dayrit, University Librarian of the University of the Philippines (U.P.) from 1962 to 1981. The study describes, in chronological sequence, Dayrit's life and career in U.P. beginning with a library apprenticeship in 1937 to assistant university librarian in 1960, and university librarian in 1962. It primarily focuses on her most significant achievements and contributions to the development of the University of the Philippines Library as University Librarian, from 1962 to 1981. It also explores her role and involvement in various library associations, namely, the Philippine Associations of Academic and Research Librarians (PAARL), the Association of Special Librarians in the Philippines (ASLP), and the Congress of Southeast Asian Librarians (CONSAL). Also included is an annotated bibliography of her works (speeches and writings) from 1956 to 1981. Aside from the extensive use of Dayrit's personal papers in the U.P. archives, interviews with Miss Dayrit herself, personal recollections of her colleagues, friends and UP library personnel who worked directly with her were also taken into account in the observation of her career, and professional and non-professional activities. The study shows that after almost twenty years of heading the U.P. Library, Miss Dayrit was able to develop among her staff a healthy attitude and dedication towards their work. The tremendous growth of the library's collection, the development of its Filipiniana and vernacular collections, the preservation of rare and important materials in microfilms, and the establishment of the university archives - are marks of her monumental achievements of successful library management. She was distinguished as president of ASLP, the founding president of PAARL, and a founding member of CONSAL. Dayrit, Marina G.
