Library and Information Science Education in the University of the Philippines has four major tracks that students can choose on which to specialize. These are the core tracks wherein the field is honing the skills for the future librarians of the nation. In this study, the researcher tried to determine the perceptions of SLIS students on Archives and Records Management, the effects of Archives elective on the BLIS and MLIS curriculum, to find out whether these electives are sufficient for the curriculum, in order to determine possible improvements, to specify contributing factors that affect the choice of LIS track and electives of BLIS students, it is important to gauge how the graduate students (alumni) were able to utilize the knowledge and skills they acquired while studying and how relevant these electives were in terms of their present job. In the duration of the study, the researcher was able to gather a total of 132 BLIS undergraduate students, 31 MLIS students and 10 alumni. The data gathered clearly shown that interest on Archives and Records Management is the main reason and purpose in enrolling electives in their tracks while the second outstanding reason is that it is important for their future career choice. It was found that there is a need for improvement on these electives and that these are not sufficient, so continuous evaluation to add more subjects should be done. Recommendations in the study include regular assessment and evaluation on these electives must be non-routine for the students to have time for other required subjects. Resource speakers and experts in the field of study should be invited as to explain the details of the real job in the future. Establishing linkages with archival institutions for the practicum side of the electives or establishing own archives and conservation laboratory with proper equipment can be studied for future considerations.
