SYSTEM
● DLSU Library System Services
The Systems Services (SS) unit is responsible for the development, implementation,
and maintenance of the computerization and information technology plans and
programs of the DLSU Library. It oversees the day-to-day administration of the
different computer hardware and software facilities, operations and applications
that are essential in the delivery of automated library services. It works closely with
the Information Technology Center (ITC) of the university in the provision of
computer and network facilities and services that respond to IT requirement of the
library. (http://www.mmsu.edu)
● University Library System (ULS)
The establishment of the University Library System since 1980 is one of the most
significant achievements of the Universities development programs. Today, the
library has improved tremendously in terms of organization, quality of personnel,
materials, facilities and services. It is some kind of a phenomenon none like it
before in this part of the country definitely contributing awe and respect to the
stature an aura of excellence of the University. Such trend of development is
clearly, though not yet sufficiently, in accordance with the obsession of no other
than former President of the Republic, Ferdinand E. Marcos when he said:
“It is true that there are other systems of information or carriers or vehicles, but the
traditional and most permanent one is the library with its shelves of books and
audio-visual materials. We, in the third world believe that development cannot be
achieved without parallel development of libraries and information systems.”
The library system contributes to the attainment of the goals of MMSU by providing
the reference and reading materials required in the various phases of the programs
implemented by the University. It is a place for work and study, thus, it becomes a
part of the way of life of the universities constituents and the members of the
general public who use its services. (http://www.mmsu.edu)

Library automation enabled the electronic Union Catalog of the UPD network of 33
libraries, including the Extension program in Pampanga and the Main Library with
more than 800,000 records, accessible within the campus and through the World
Wide Web. These libraries already have barcoders, barcode labels and keepers,
magnetic strips, sensitizers-desensitizers and gate for Circulation purposes, and as
part of their library security system. A number of records were converted from
paper to digital format. The former system used by the University Library prior to
the present MAELISA. Also converted from paper files were 58,536 bibliographic
records of five Filipiniana and Special Collections: (1) Book analytics, i.e.
biographies, illustrations, plays, short stories and speeches contained in books; (2)
Unclassified Monographic Records including art works and personal collections of
Teodoro Agoncillo, Roberto Concepcion, Oscar Evangelista, Guillermo Guevara,
Eliseo Pajaro, Estrella Solidum, Emanuel Soriano and Abelardo & Trinidad Subido;
(3) Positive prints of the Harnish Collection; (4) Posters File; (5) Vernacular
Collection including Bikolano, Cebuano, Pampango and Tagalog.

● Library Management System According to codewithc.com is a software
application implemented in Java platform using MS Access database design. It is
useful for libraries in any university, college, or similar educational institution to
manage and maintain data in database through computerized system. Using this
system, users need not search the entire library to find a book; the list of books
available is displayed by the application. This is useful for librarians in any
educational institution for management and handling of typical operations in the
library. It manages data through computerized system in a database which
eradicates the tediousness in searching a particular book in the entire library. The
existing library management system is very traditional and manual. Most of the
things such as record of students who’ve issued the book, no. of books in the
library, fine of students, etc. are recorded using pen-paper system. This traditional
system requires a lot of time and manpower for performing simple operations in
the library. The main feature of this system is that all the books available in the
library can be displayed in a list so that students need not roam through the entire
library to find a book. Additionally, the application effectively maintains the details
of users/students to whom books have been issued; it also records the issued date
and return date.

● Integrated Library Systems. ERIC Digest.
An automated library system usually consists of a number of functional modules,
such as acquisitions, circulation, cataloging, serials, and an OPAC (Online Public
Access Catalog). An “integrated” library system is an automated system, as
described above, in which all of the functional modules share a common
bibliographic database. The National Library of Medicine used the term
“integrated” in referring to a system in which all automated library functions are
processed against a single, master bibliographic file (Goldstein & Dick, 1980).
Genaway (1984) expanded the definition and described the integrated online
library system (IOLS) as “a library system that uses a common machine-readable
database and has two or more subsystems operational and accessible online” (p.4).
In a system which is not integrated, there might be a bibliographic record in the
catalog for a book and, if that book were to be checked out, there would be
another bibliographic record for it in a circulation file. In an integrated system,
there would be one bibliographic record for a book, probably created when the
book was ordered, then expanded when it was cataloged. If that book were to be
checked out, the patron record for the borrower would be attached to the
bibliographic record, but there would not be a duplicate bibliographic record for the
book in a circulation file. There are some systems which have duplicate
bibliographic records but which are considered to be integrated because changes to
bibliographic records are automatically propagated. For example, a change made to
a bibliographic record in the acquisitions file would automatically be made to the
duplicate bibliographic record in the catalog. In these quasi-integrated systems,
movement between the modules and their duplicate files is facilitated by some
type of linking mechanism. (http://www.mkce.ac)
Automation for the School Library Media Center. ERIC Digest.
The thousands of school library media centers (LMCs) across the country that have
automated their collection management operations have found that performance
of routine tasks by staff and access to information by students and faculty have
become a great deal faster and easier. Automation often begins with
microcomputer-based circulation and online catalog systems, but the available
capabilities and the potential for expansion extend far beyond these basic
functions. This digest will focus on initial considerations for implementing an
automated facility. (http://www.mkce.ac)

Feasibility Study for an Automated Library System
This study was initiated by the Newfoundland Public Library Services (NPLS) to
assess the feasibility of automation for the library services and to determine the
viability of an integrated automated library system for the NPLS. The study
addresses the needs of NPLS in terms of library automation; benefits to be achieved
through the introduction of automation; automation requirements and costs; cost
of automation in relation to potential cost savings; staffing requirements for
automation; and a recommended approach to automation. The report focuses on
the following areas: (1) needs analysis (headquarters, technical services
department, provincial reference and resource library, St. John’s City
(Newfoundland, Canada) libraries, regional libraries, books-by-mail); (2) functional
requirements for the application software; (3) system options (technical
requirements, software options, microcomputer equipment, estimated costs); (4)
database creation and management (existing machine-readable records, options for
catalogue maintenance with the integrated library systems, issues affecting the
decision, estimated costs); (5) management of an automated library system
(staffing, training, estimated costs); (6) the costs and benefits of library automation
(quality of service to NPLS clientele, networking, efficiency, accuracy and timeliness
of library routines, management information, cost-benefit analysis); Conclusions
and recommendations are provided in addition to tables and appendices related to
the topical issues addressed in this report. (http://www.eric.ed.gov)
