Abstract: This study explores the relationship between librarians’ knowledge of library materials preservation and their compliance with preservation standards. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study employed validated questionnaires to gather quantitative data from 109 professional librarians in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The findings revealed a high level of knowledge among librarians about preservation practices, with a mean score of 4.18. Correspondingly, a high level of compliance with preservation standards was observed, with a mean score of 4.23. A significant relationship between knowledge and compliance was established using Pearson correlation analysis. The results highlight the importance of professional development in enhancing preservation practices and ensuring adherence to standards. This research underscores the need for continued education and training to maintain the integrity and accessibility of library collections.
