Former DoST Assistant Secretary and DoST-STII OIC Raymund Liboro was instrumental in the conceptualization and development of Starbooks. In the same manner, Starbooks or the Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosks, a mere side project of the Department of Science and Technology- Science and Technology Information Institute (DoST-STII), it had its share of plain and unassuming beginnings. Known in its inception as an offline science library-in-a-box, Starbooks contains thousands of digital resources on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that are easily retrievable. Starbooks was the brainchild of former DoST Assistant Secretary and DoST-STII officer-in-charge Raymund Liboro, now the current commissioner of the National Privacy Commission. Last year, two mobile applications were launched - the Starbooks Quiz Mobile App and the Starbooks Online App.
