#STIIintheNEWS: STARBOOKS celebrates 12-year success, fetes its champions
From 1,000 units in 2016, STARBOOKS’ number grew to 6,788 all over the country in the past seven years and became an important source of science and technology information for students, especially in isolated parts of the country.
With its success, the Department of Science and Technology’s Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII) feted on Thursday the “bida,” or “stars,” in the implementation of its innovative and award-winning digital science library-in-a-box, the STARBOOKS, or the Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly-Operated KioskS project.
