Title: Library System with web android based OPAC

Author/Researcher: Quintin Jose V Pastrana

Publication Year: 2013

Introduction
Technology has been a vital part of improvement in many aspects of life. Technology can be seen
everywhere. One particular aspect that technology helps is the maintenance of records. It can create
multiple processes in no time that any individual a do manually. In this study, we will focus on books,
and when I say books I mean plenty of books. As for this time(2013), Don Honorio Ventura Technological
State University(DHVTSU) doesn’t have any automatic Library System thus managing of books is hectic.
Students are the biggest affected individual because of the lack of Library System. If you are a student
and for example you want to borrow a certain book in the library, you will need to walk a long distance
in order for you to reach the Campus library and then you will find out that the book you want to
borrow doesn’t exist in the campus library, isn’t it frustrating? Isn’t it a nuisance? By this inconvenience,
I came up to the study of implementing a Library System with Web Based Online public access
cataloging and Android Based Online public access cataloging. This system will be administered by the
Campus Librarian and will be used by students and school personnel as well. The flow of the system is
each book in the library will be recorded in the system including the number of copies of each book. If a
student borrows one book of a certain category, the Administrator will use the system and record the
event. Aside from managing books, the Online Public Access Cataloging(OPAC) will also be of great help
to students. They can use their Android phones or use a computer to check whether a certain book
exists or if there’s still a copy of that book
remaining.

Before the age of computers, library tasks were done manually and independently. Borrower’s ordered
books using ordering slips and librarians catalogue items manually and index them with the card catalog
system. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_library_system). Integrated Library Systems(ILS) has
been part of computing systems in colleges and universities. Today’s ILS is a Multi functional Web-based
multimedia content information management system, generally built on a relational database structure.
Overview of Integrated Library Systems (Deddens, 2002) Librarians have recognized and supported, long
before the dawn of computers, the need for standards to aid in collection management, share resources
with other libraries, and improve access for library patrons. The widespread use of Integrated Library
Systems (ILS), global communications via the Internet, and growing numbers of digital library initiatives
have made the need for compliance with standards more critical than ever. Implementing information
products and systems that support standards can ensure that libraries will be able to:

• integrate electronic content products from multiple vendors; • resource share on a wider geographic
scale, even globally; • participate in more cooperative programs with other organizations, including ones
outside the library community; • speed up the “time to market” of library materials, i.e. the time to
acquire, catalog, process, and circulate an item; • provide remote access to library services;

The RFP Writer’s Guide to Standards for Library Systems (Hodgson, 2002)

Currently, integration of library bibliographic systems and metadata encoding / searching is in the
embryonic stage. Often, libraries use systems from multiple vendors to address both traditional and
digital library system implementations. This results in the traditional library catalog and the digital
library being totally separate with perhaps a low level of integration by providing a link within the MARC
record that will take the user to the corresponding fulltext or image. This situation is changing, but
varies significantly from one system to another in what is supported, how it is implemented, and how
transparently the two types of data are accessible. The RFP Writer’s Guide to Standards for Library
Systems (Hodgson, 2002) According to Walter Nelson of RAND Corporation, in the previous years that
Online Public Access Catalog(OPAC) is not yet present, “Your customers must go to the information, the
information does not go to the customer”. The Future of the Integrated Library System? (Nelson)

ABSTRACT:

Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University(DHVTSU) is a University in Bacolor, Pampanga

which has been founded on November 4, 1861 by an Augustinian friar named Fr. Juan P. Zita. Since this
school has a library but doesn’t have any Library Systems with OPAC, we came up to the idea of creating
one since a university strengthens its educational level through the advancement of its library. A Library
System is a system which is used to track books, magazines, newspaper, etc in a certain library without
the hassle of card catalogs. It is usually comprises of a relational database, software to interact with that
database, and two Graphical User Interfaces (One for the borrower, one for the staff). According to
Ask.com, the disadvantage of using a manual library system are there is an increased chance for human
errors, it takes a lot of time to train employees on the nuances of such a system, speed and accuracy are
decreased, more space is required to store the paperwork involved. Now, try to imagine a University
with thousands and thousands of books which is manually cataloged and at the same time, hundreds of
people wants to search a certain book, isn’t it time consuming both for the librarian and the people?
That’s the reason why I’m proposing this title, for the betterment of our school’s future, for the
betterment of the future students.
CONCLUSION:

This kind of library system is a big help on searching books in library easier. This system will be
administered by the university librarian and will be used by the students and school personnel as well.
On borrowing books the librarian don’t need to record it manually instead the system will record it
automatically. OPAC can help a lot to the students, they can search or log books using their android
devices and computers to search whether they needed books are still exisy in the library.

Title: The DOST-ESEP Libraries: The First Library Network in The Philippines

Author: David T Lourdes.

Publication Year: 2012

ARTICLE:

In developed countries where the computerized library system is a mature technology, a computerized
library network is perhaps no longer a novel project. In the Philippines however, where the automated
library system is available in only a handful of libraries, The DOST-ESEP Library Network was envisioned
to: 1) build library resources and services in eight academic libraries; and 2) provide connectivity by
means of the information highway in the Philippines, the (PHnet), which is also the country’s gateway to
Internet. It was proposed as an integral component of the Department of Science and Technology -
Engineering and Science Education Project (DOST-ESEP). The DOST-ESEP was designed to develop
manpower, instructional and research capabilities in eight academic institutions in support of the
country’s bid for NIChood by the year 2000. Implementation of the project was made possible through a
loan from the World Bank and counterpart funds from participating Institutions.

The DOST-ESEP Library Network Members

Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) De la Salle University (DLSU) Mindanao State University - Iligan
Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) University of Santo Tomas (UST) University of the Philippines in Los
Banos (UPLB) University of the Philippines in Manila (UPM) University of the Philippines, Diliman College
of Engineering (UPDCE) University of the Philippines, Diliman College of Science (UPDCS).

Library Collection

The existing collections were not sufficient in quantity to support the planned manpower and research
development programs. The serials holdings were fragmented among several libraries. There was also
extensive duplication of titles. Reference materials were out of date. The acquisition of materials was
uncoordinated and costs were prohibitive. To address these concerns, the librarians agreed to have a
cooperative scheme of acquisitions and that all serials purchased under the DOST grant will be housed in
the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus. Engineering materials and science materials will be
housed in the UPDCE and UPDCS libraries respectively on condition that the two libraries commit to
continue subscription to the selected journals beyond the project duration. There would absolutely be
no duplication for serials even if these titles will be purchased using funds outside of the grant and
therefore housed in respective libraries. Reference materials will be duplicated in each library as
needed.

Library Networking

The concerns identified included the need for 1) excellent bibliographic, subject and inventory control,
2) need for reciprocal access to information about availability of materials and document delivery from
any of the cooperating libraries, and 3) the eventual need for access to and from libraries outside the
network. The action proposed to address these concern included 1) the use of Bibliofile, a CDROM
cataloging resource for retroconversion, 2) the installation of an integrated library management system
in each library, and 3) the installation of a union catalog of holdings and networked CD-ROM abstracts
and indexes to be housed in the central library, 4) the provision of online public access to each member
library via the PHnet or for libraries outside the network, access is via the public telephone system, 5)
document delivery by fax, FTP or by post as required by the clients, and 6) use of uninterrupted power
supplies, provision of adequate back up of the system and data, and continuous technical support from
the supplier and user group to ensure uninterrupted service.

REVIEW OF FOREIGN RELATED LITERATURE

According to E.Valenti(2016) from the article entitled “The State Of Library Management
Systems” are systems that helps big in terms of some transactions on the library. On this article the
automated library systems said that it can do multi tasking. It can do recording books on library but it
can also make different transactions. It will make the library service convenient like making card
cataloging. Therefore multitasking inside the library is very nice. The system will be the one who records
all the transactions inside the library so it decreases the tasks of the librarian so it can avoid the cases of
lost records due to human errors.

REVIEW OF FOREIGN RELATED STUDY

According to A.Agarwal (2013) on the research entitled “Online Library Management System”
The main problem of the different libraries worldwide are they are still using manual method. So the
researcher proposed to make an automated system that will have better log in form and to record
quickly the borrowed and still existing books. So the librarian or the staffs can monitor every time the
books that carried outside by the students. therefore online library management system can be use
outdoor or even without the school library. You can access or borrow books using the internet. It will be
very convenient and less time consuming.

REVIEW OF LOCAL RELATED STUDY

According to Q.J.Pastrana (2013) from the study entitled “Library System with web android
based OPAC” technology is a big factor to keep the students keep going to the library. So the author
thinks that android devices can use to attract the students on going to the libraries. In terms of their
device they can easily search or monitor the books inside the library. Whether the books that they want
to borrow are on the borrowed section or it is still available. So on this situation the students will have
more fun on this new library system. Therefore the author use what is the trending device to make
students come to the libraries because their task on searching books inside the library become easier
and faster.
REVIEW OF LOCAL RELATED LITERATURE

According to D.Lourdes (2012) from the article entitled “The DOST-ESEP Libraries: The First
Library Network in The Philippines” the planning of this system are way back year 1995 but its difficult to
implement in during those time so it took long time to be able to release it on the public. There are
some universities that quickly get the partnership since it was started in 2012. It means networking is
also a major key on collaborating inside the library. Therefore this type of system is exactly a big help on
the state of the Philippine libraries. It can make our library a world class and can compete on other
country’s libraries.
