| Abstract | Technology, nowadays, has made so much impact on how people want to get their daily informational needs. It must be instantaneous, less hassle, can be done anywhere, and with no cost as much as possible. Seeing this as the current trend, libraries are also expected to do the same. At the same time, high-end mobile phones are spreading fast making the demand for mobile applications to higher than ever. Users of the libraries are more exposed to the present modern technology and because of their over-dependence to such innovation; this is the time where these technologies are taken into advantage. The researcher aims to show the opportunity mobile technology offers, not only for the library but also for the academe. With this presented situations thus caused the pursuance of this study that aims to produce a working mobile application prototype that will make retrieval of information easier and faster for library users specifically those of the UP School of Library and Information Studies Library. Out of the total population of the whole student body of the UP SLIS, 36 students were able to try, test, and evaluate the working build of the LibApp. From the data gathered after testing the LibApp, the following were the principal findings: (1) there is a demand for a mobile library application; (2) the working LibApp prototype, overall, has acquired positive feedbacks in terms of (a) navigation, (b) functionality, (c) consistency and visual clarity, (d) control and language, and (e) feedback and error handling. The most recurring comment and suggestion is on the typeface or font used as well as the design of the app. The respondents have suggested using a more familiar and common type of font and the design of the app can still be improved as well as inclusion of a simple game to add the interactivity in the app. Recommendations of the researcher includes an Android OS application counterpart for those users who owns a phone running the said OS, development of a |
