a. Overview of Current State of Technology
Technology has fundamentally affected the operation of
business establishments inside and the outside the county. It plays a big role in our society – creating, making and developing solutions to a problem. Sometimes, we define technology as “a key to the success of the business”, it transforms manual operation into a more systematic one.
Since technology continues to emerge and evolve, business
firms and establishments must be aware of the current trends that technology offers. Because of wide competition companies and other institutions are now beginning to adopt “new technologies” that may help them to stay in the industry. In order to be the #1 in the market, companies and other establishments are providing quality products and services. Moreover, technology is not just helping the business stay in the industry; technology bring out the best qualities that they can offer the market.
Nowadays, information technology is adopted by many
academic institutions, especially in their libraries. Technology has a great impact both for the employees and students. Technology helps organization in producing and generating accurate reports easily and much faster rather than using manual system. It also lessens the time that many employees usually do in a manual library system. Technology has also a vital role among young individuals who are pursuing their studies; it helps them to lessen their consumed time in studying that the manual library systems do. Technology means being productive in an efficient and effective manner.
b. Statement of the Problem
The general problem of the study focused on the manual
method of monitoring the library users. It had become tedious and had caused many problems because of the increasing school population.
The specific questions that were answered regarding the
current process of monitoring the statistical record of the library users are as follows:
1.) What was the information needed to develop the
proposed system?
2.) How could the time-consuming process of monitoring the
library users be lessened?
3.) How could the system be able to provide reports and
import it on different document formats be developed?
4.) How could the security of the records on the database be
guaranteed? 5.) How could the errors of monitoring the library users be lessened or eliminated?
c. Research Objectives
The study aimed to develop a computerized user monitoring
and report system for the library of Bernardo College Las Pinas. Specially, this study attempted to:
1.) Identify the information needed for developing the system;
2.) Create a system that will lessen the time-consuming
process of monitoring the library users;
3.) Develop a system that will be able to generate
customized reports;
4.) Guarantee the security of the records on the database of
the proposed system; and
5.) Lessen, if not eliminate, the errors of monitoring the library
users. d. Research Framework
This research adopted a relevant theory that served as the
scientific anchor or support in conducting the study.
e. Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focused on the services given by the library to its
clienteles such as book loaning transaction (borrowing and returning of books) and searching. Policies and procedures of the library were included in the study. The study focused generally on the current set-up of the library as to people, process and technology. The researchers focused mainly on the college library.
All studies have boundaries. And true enough, the researcher
set some limitations with this research.
the study does not cover other transaction like
acquisition (buying and acquiring new books); the study does not cover online book reservations; the study does not cover the security of personal belongings of the client; the elementary and high school libraries are not included in the study.
