SWU PHINMA Learning Resource Center

The SWU Learning Resource Center (LRC) team has marked a significant academic milestone at the 18th Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries (QQML) International Conference in Romania.

Representing the university virtually, the LRC research team—composed of Chief Librarian Christler Aaron R. Miranda, Research Services Librarian Jonathan M. Ricardo, and Deputy Chief Librarian Shielo O. Pitulan—successfully delivered their international paper presentation to a global audience of scholars.

The co-authored study, presented online by Mr. Ricardo, has been accepted for publication in the prestigious Web of Science- and EBSCOhost-indexed QQML Journal, where it will stand alongside the works of esteemed researchers from other participating countries.

This international recognition underscores the LRC’s commitment to advancing global academic frontiers and elevating the university's research profile on the world stage.

Congratulations to our LRC librarians for continuing to push boundaries and showing the world what it means to !
