In this day and age, doing the impossible becomes possible with the help of technology.
The way of living becomes faster and more convenient as more and more people integrate
technology into their lives. Computers play an important role in today’s generation in as
much as any technological device does; more so, even. This is especially true for persons
engaged in the corporate and academic world. As such, the researchers will develop a

An open library, BBNHS library houses a total of 2000 book titles. The subjects of these
books range from liberal studies such as literature, fine arts, language and religion, to
history, sciences, social sciences, and mathematics. The library operates whenever the
librarian is available. The library of Banca-Banca National High School is currently using
a manual library system where the librarian or the students write their information on a
piece of paper if they borrow books which reflects on the librarian’s logbook. When
returning the borrowed book, the librarian will find the name of borrowers and it will be

1.2 Current State of the Technology
According to the librarian, Ms. Nora Cura, the current system of BBNHS in borrowing
books involves the borrower writing his name on a piece of paper which functions as a
library card because BBNHS doesn’t have existing borrower’s card and uses bond paper
to list the name as a record of the librarian in books borrowed. In returning books, the
borrower will sign the paper with his name and the title of the book that he borrowed and
write the date when the book is returned. This record will be transferred by the librarian
in a logbook as a formal record. If the student will use the borrowed book inside the library,
it is possible for him to place the borrowed book in a designated place once he is done and
the librarian will return it to its proper bookshelf, or the student may return the book to its
shelf himself.

1.2.2 LOCAL STUDY
According to Lou (1986), a survey on the computer application in 223 libraries in Metro
Manila was conducted. The study revealed that they prioritize the three library functions
automation for the libraries cannot be implemented due to financial incapability of the
libraries, and the lack of funds from the government. Despite this drawback, the libraries
are not turning their backs into the automation of their libraries. Agena (2008) made a
study about the collection usage of the students of the Jose Rizal University in a period of
three years using the quantitative and qualitative approach. The goal of the study is to
assess the usefulness of the faculty of students to their library and it’s been revealed that
it is generally important for them to go to the library for their academic needs. [LOU198]
According to survey from Metro Manila, the computerized library system prioritized the
three functions in the library to be cataloging, indexing, and circulation. This study is
closely connected with our proposed system of developers. All the mentioned will be

• Library Administration
According to Eden (2011), views that most libraries are forced to work with fewer staff
because of the having a more improved and modernized system for their library.
According also to the study, the library administration needs to emphasize to their staff
that the organization has a vested interest in providing them with the tools and training
they need to assist the organization in the new information marketplace. These may
include search engines, circulation systems, and the online public access
catalog.[EDEN2011]
