This descriptive research determined the extent of implementation of the guidelines on digitization of resources in the libraries of HEIs in La Union along selection, technical requirement and implementation, legal aspects, budget, human resource planning, development and maintenance, preservation of digital content and project management; and the strengths and weaknesses on digitization of resources. Data gathered using the validated and pretested questionnaire was treated using percentage, ranking, and weighted mean. A total of 40 library personnel participated in the study. The implementation of the guidelines on digitization of resources in the libraries of HEIs in La Union, Philippines was found to be moderately implemented and is relatively weak. A Digitization Manual Model was formulated to address the identified weaknesses. Through these guidelines and procedures, library personnel will have clear guidelines as to how digitization activities must be done. It will serve as a framework that will provide effective and efficient digitization.

Development and standardization of squash (Cucurbita maxima) biscuit with guyabano (Annona muricata) leaves extract
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2016-03) Valdez, Eredisa Crislyn L.; Estabillo, Imma Concepcion G.; Valdez, Anabella G.; Lopez, Shirley O.; Rivera, Joan V.
The study aimed to develop a wholesome and acceptable squash biscuit with guyabano leaves extract. The standardized formulation contained 40% squash powder, 30% squash seeds, and 80 ml guyabano leaves extract and exhibited desirable sensory characteristics, physicochemical properties, microbiological qualities, and profitability. The study involved powderizing squash flesh, partially grinding squash seeds, and extracting guyabano leaves through decoction. The standardized product was evaluated through sensory, physicochemical, microbiological, and economic analyses. The biscuit was highly acceptable to trained and consumer panelists. It had a pH of 5.34, water activity of approximately 0.35, moisture content of 1.48%, crude protein of 10.50 g/100 g, crude fat of 13.93 g/100 g, crude ash of 3.92 g/100 g, and total carbohydrates of 70.17 g/100 g. Microbiological results showed an aerobic plate count of less than 250 cfu/g and yeast and mold count of less than 10 cfu/g. The study reported a return on investment of 25.98% and a payback period of 1.98 months.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2011-03) Asignacion, Roy C.
The vision and goals of Philippine education is aligned with the four pillars: it is for students to learn science, learn to do science, and learn through science (Interaction Journal, 2001). Thus, the study focused on the use of Web-Enhanced Learning Activities to improve the academic performance and achievement of students. Specifically, it tested for the significant differences in the academic performance and achievement of the four groups. The respondents were the first year high school students of SLU-LHS, Baguio City who randomly selected, grouped following the Solomon Four Group format and matched according to the result of their Science Achievement Test.
Frequency count, percentage, means, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test, and Correlation of Determination were employed to treat the data.
The results showed that the two experimental groups performed better than their control group counterpart in terms of their academic performance and achievement. Therefore, using Web-Enhanced Learning Activities are effective strategies in the teaching and learning of topics in Science 1.
