Bachelor of Library and Information Science explored the challenges and biases BLIS students encounter to suggest ways to address the stigma. The research centers on the perceptions held by non-BLIS students in the College of Computer Studies (CCS), particularly those in BSIT, BSIS, and BSCS programs. This study represented and analyzed with the corresponding research questions to further understand the problem, such as (1) Demographics profile, (2) What stereotyping is encountered by BLIS in terms of Stereotyping of Attitude, Career, personality, Personal, and professional skills; (3) The significant difference between the stereotyping perception when grouped according to profile variables. Researchers imply the mixed-methods approach, including surveys and focus group discussions, to gather data from 230 non-BLIS students. Results show a complex range of perceptions about BLIS students. Although some non-BLIS students positively perceive them as being friendly, kind, and respectful, others hold negative stereotypes, connecting them with intimidation, annoyance, or limited career options. The study highlights the prevalence of these stereotypes, demonstrating that they are not significantly influenced by the respondent's age, gender, or program. This underscores the need to address these misconceptions and promote a more accurate understanding of the BLIS program and the diverse career paths available to its graduates. The research recommends creating an informative brochure to combat misconceptions about BLIS students and highlights librarian's diverse role and impact in today's world. It reveals the need to address stereotypes surrounding BLIS students, promote awareness of the field, and create a supportive community for those pursuing BLIS field.
