| Abstract | The paper presents the development of a prototype Integrated Library System for selected public high school libraries in Quezon City. The ILS aims to provide a faster and more efficient alternative to the existing system in the public high school libraries. Design and specific functions incorporated in the ILS were based from the assessed needs of library users and library administrators in the preliminary study conducted in six public high schools in Quezon City. Based from the preliminary study, an ILS for the selected public high schools was developed. The modules that were identified from the preliminary study and created for the system, were Cataloging, Circulation, Online Public Access Catalog, Acquisition, User Management, and System Management. The study utilizes a descriptive-qualitative method in evaluating the functionality and usability of the developed integrated library system. The evaluation findings showed high satisfaction rate to the modules and functions included in the system. They also find the system modules and functions adequate and have not specified any other changes and/or additions to the system. The results from the study show that the library users and administrators desired a system that would perform tasks done in the library, which include material searching and reservation for the users, and material cataloging, acquisition, circulation, and user management for the administrators. One of the recommendations given to the prototype ILS was the inclusion of the MARC function in the cataloguing module. It was also recommended to test and evaluate the system to more public high school libraries in Quezon City to further determine what needs to be improved in the system. |
