Dissertation note: Undergraduate Theses (BLIS) - Library and Information Science. Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, 2025. Abstract: Academic libraries are fairly significant in higher education institutions since they provide the required tools and services to support research, learning, and knowledge sharing. Particularly in resource allocation, technological adaptation, disaster readiness, space appraisal, and marketing plans, these libraries do face various planning difficulties. This paper examines Camarines Sur's academic library policies and challenges as well as their planning. Thirty university libraries provided data via questionnaires using a descriptive correlational study approach; these data were then investigated using statistical tools including weighted means and chi-square tests. Strategic planning, according to results, provides long-term institutional alignment and is the most widely used planning instrument. Still, little is known about disaster readiness, which highlights the need for improvement. Budgetary limits proved to be the most significant barrier; closely followed by staff shortages and communication difficulties. Emphasizing the impact of operational and financial strategies on library performance, a statistical study revealed a significant correlation between planning techniques and difficulties. To address these challenges, this study proposes an intervention plan stressing structured financial management, increased staff training, improved strategic communication, and integration of adaptive technologies. These strategies will enable academic libraries to guarantee long-term sustainability, boost institutional cooperation, and improve service efficiency through institutional cooperation. This study provides analytical analysis for library managers, legislators, and academics wishing to enhance academic library operations in resource-limited situations.

Academic libraries are fairly significant in higher education institutions since they provide the required tools and services to support research, learning, and knowledge sharing.
