Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Stations (STARBOOKS)
A project of the Department of Science and Technology's Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST–STII) that produced a digital library that can permanently retain information and resources for Filipino citizens.

- It is a compendium of S&T information gathered from all over the world --- a one stop S&T information source; and
- It features videos dubbed “Tamang DOSTkarte Livelihood Videos” to stimulate every Filipino’s entrepreneurial capacity;
STARBOOKS aims to:
- Create interest in the field of Science and Technology which may increase the number of Filipinos enrolling in S&T courses;
- Encourage great and curious minds to develop new ideas---inventions and innovations; and
- Inspire one’s capacity for entrepreneurship and research.
