The UP College of Law Library mourns the passing of Prof. Myrna S. Feliciano, a dedicated and highly respected law librarian whose invaluable service and leadership greatly contributed to the growth and development of the library's collection and its legal research resources.
Prof. Feliciano served as Acting Law Librarian at the UP College of Law Library beginning in 1965 before she was appointed Director of the Institute of Judicial Administration (IJA) in December 1988.
A disciplined, assertive, and deeply committed law librarian, she demonstrated remarkable leadership, professionalism, and confidence in managing both the library staff and generations of law students. Despite her young age when she assumed leadership of the library, she became well known for her firm dedication to maintaining order, discipline, and respect within the institution while upholding the highest standards of librarianship.
Principled and unwavering in enforcing library policies, Prof. Feliciano worked tirelessly to preserve the integrity of the libraryโs collections and uphold the highest standards of librarianship. Beyond her strictness was a hardworking and intellectually engaged professional who assisted distinguished legal scholars in citation checking, indexing, and source verification, further enriching her expertise in legal bibliography and research.
She also spearheaded efforts to expand and strengthen the libraryโs holdings, particularly in international law. Through institutional support, alumni contributions, and resource development initiatives, she helped build a distinguished collection of rare legal materials, treaty series, reports, and Spanish legal texts.
Prof. Feliciano will be remembered as a feisty yet highly respected librarian whose passion for preserving knowledge, commitment to academic excellence, and dedication to the UP College of Law Library left a lasting legacy in the field of law librarianship.
Her remarkable contributions and unwavering service will surely be missed. May her lifeโs work and dedication forever be remembered with gratitude and admiration.
May her soul find eternal peace. ๐๏ธ
