POINTERS IN ESTABLISHING/MAINTANING A LOCAL STUDIES CENTER
In drafting the goals/objectives
Must be in line with the regional development thrust and the provincial development agenda;
As part of the academe, it should be directly/indirectly articulated in the vision-mission of the university;
University development plans should also be consulted;
![Page 21: by EMMANUEL FRANCO CALAIRO, Ph.D. De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas, Cavite](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681412c550346895dad0f64/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
POINTERS IN ESTABLISHING/MAINTANING A LOCAL STUDIES CENTER
Academic based
Should not be affected by a change of administration
Created as a separate unit of an institution
Will support institutional research program
Shall earn the reputation of being the guardian of local identity
![Page 22: by EMMANUEL FRANCO CALAIRO, Ph.D. De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas, Cavite](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681412c550346895dad0f64/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
POINTERS IN ESTABLISHING/MAINTANING A LOCAL STUDIES CENTER
Sustained Linkage Must establish link with the LGUs, NGOs,
and other agencies
Administration Must be under the executive officers of an
institution, either the president or VP post
Financial concerns Must have its own operational budget
![Page 23: by EMMANUEL FRANCO CALAIRO, Ph.D. De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas, Cavite](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681412c550346895dad0f64/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SUMMING UP:
BEYOND THE REGIONS: EFFORTS TO FOSTER NATIONAL IDENTITY THROUGH LOCAL STUDIES
Local studies centers play a major role in the documentation of national identity
Local studies centers are partners of the national government in reaching the grassroots level
![Page 24: by EMMANUEL FRANCO CALAIRO, Ph.D. De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas, Cavite](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681412c550346895dad0f64/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SUMMING UP:
BEYOND THE REGIONS: EFFORTS TO FOSTER NATIONAL IDENTITY THROUGH LOCAL STUDIES
Educational institutions, through their local studies centers, could participate meaningfully in the overall process of educating the public regarding the details of our national heritage
Local studies centers serve as link to the academic sector, the business sector, the government sector, and the community
![Page 25: by EMMANUEL FRANCO CALAIRO, Ph.D. De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas, Cavite](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681412c550346895dad0f64/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SUMMING UP:
BEYOND THE REGIONS: EFFORTS TO FOSTER NATIONAL IDENTITY THROUGH LOCAL STUDIES
Appreciation from the academic institution of the role of a studies center could be measured by making it as a separate unit of the institution, providing a separate facility, adequate financial assistance, and qualified personnel.
![Page 26: by EMMANUEL FRANCO CALAIRO, Ph.D. De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas, Cavite](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681412c550346895dad0f64/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SUMMING UP:
BEYOND THE REGIONS: EFFORTS TO FOSTER NATIONAL IDENTITY THROUGH LOCAL STUDIES
To maintain the dignity of the center, it should produce publications that are at par with the publications of major universities in Metro Manila. Research outputs should be evaluated by respected scholars to ensure credibility and reliability of the studies conducted. With such credibility, local studies centers shall be looked upon as the vanguard of cultural heritage conservation in the regions.
