| Abstract | This study evaluated the digitization of Filipiniana journal collection and the implementation of a modern Integrated Library Management System (ILMS) at the Information Resource Center (IRC) of Company X. The initiatives were executed to address inefficiencies in manual cataloging/metadata, circulation transactions, and information service, and to preserve these cultural and scientific knowledge assets as a requirement for product development and registration to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The author used qualitative and quantitative approaches in the methodology. The qualitative included surveys, interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and a SWOT analysis. They identified critical gaps in the current practices and highlighted the need for digital transformation. The quantitative method was applied to determine the cost benefits and ROI. The digitization successfully archived 187 journal titles comprised of 27,668 full-text articles which were digitized through a non-destructive scanning equipment and supported by updated standard operating procedures (SOPs), detailed work instructions, and quality control measures. Meanwhile, the ILMS streamlined functions of the IRC such as cataloging/metadata encoding, online searching through an online public access catalog (OPAC), circulation, and generating of reports through the unified platform. The system also reinforced security measures and controlled user access for data privacy. During the digitization and implementation of the ILMS, challenges and risks were identified and encountered such as proper handling of aged materials for preservation, metadata inconsistencies, copyright concerns, financial constraints, service disruption, staff resistance, and cybersecurity risks but effectively mitigated through phased implementation, comprehensive staff training and active involvement in the development phase, and close collaboration with the information security team. The outcomes demonstrated si |
