The Mindanao Forum Cumulative Index (1982-2013) Out

The Mindanao Forum Cumulative Index (1982-2013) Out

by Christine Godinez Ortega

A cumulative index of the Institute’s official journal, The Mindanao Forum (MF) from 1982-2013 covering Volumes 1-26 is out. Formerly known as The Technician which was first published in 1982, the MF was released recently by the Office of Publication and Information (OPI).

Ms. Bennet Gozo, University Researcher II in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research & Extension (OVCRE) worked on the cumulative index for six months.

The MF cumulative index includes titles of papers and articles, names of authors and co-authors, keywords or subject themes and other details published in the MF since 1982 to 2013.

It is a handy reference to scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in research and publication.

The cumulative index is an addition to Gozo’s other projects and publications such as a Bibliography of MSU-IIT works and publications published in 1994; a Compilation of Funding Agencies; MF Abstracts and Bibliography of MF papers and articles; a Directory of the Iligan National Writers Workshop (INWW) since 1994; an INWW Compilation of its Tracer Study; a bibliography of publications on the Bangsamoro; and a Compilation of articles in the OVCRE’s Lectern, and other Library Holdings of past researches in the Institute.

Gozo joined the MSU-IIT in 1982. She finished her BS Marine Biology in the MSU main campus and her Master’s in Library Science in MSU-IIT.

At present, she is compiling the citations of MSU-IIT publications of works cited in the Philippine E-Journals and in Google Scholar, among others. –by Christine Godinez Ortega for OC-OPI
