Searching for “Ruby”. Southern Leyte State University Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Lorelie P. Duarte searches for some information about Typhoon Ruby at the Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Station (STARBOOKS) during its formal turn over led by the Department of Science and Technology’s Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII) at its Sogod, Southern Leyte campus. STARBOOKS is an S&T-based offline digital library that can be conveniently installed in barangays. A library-in-a-box, STARBOOKS contains about 11,000 full text literatures and livelihood videos to help not only students but also people who are searching for livelihood opportunities.
