dc.description.abstractThe important and dynamic role of school librarians, especially with the rise of digital technology requires that they continually excel in competencies in both library and information sciences. This descriptive-correlational study assessed the ICT competencies of school librarians in the 1st District of Pangasinan using the National Competency-Based Standards for Filipino Librarians. It focused on core areas such as email, hardware, internet, operating systems, software applications, web tools, and the application of information technologies. The study also examined the challenges librarians face in applying these skills and the relationship between their competence levels and the difficulty of these challenges. Findings revealed that librarians showed high competence, especially in email and operating systems, while challenges were generally rated as slightly difficult. Statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between ICT competence and the degree of difficulty, suggesting that higher skill levels do not necessarily equate to fewer challenges. As a result, a Strategic ICT Capacity Enhancement Plan was developed to further improve competencies and address the difficulties school librarians encounter in applying ICT skills.
