DOST sends ‘library in a box’ to poor rural areas

The Department of Science and Technology Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII) launched their digital science library in provinces to help students in their science researches and school activities.

This “library in a box,” called Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Station (Starbooks), opened in four provinces—Cordillera Administrative Region, Masbate, Negros Oriental and Romblon—a library “which may be accessed even in the absence of internet connection.”
