MODERNIZATION OF BOOK MANAGEMENT IN SHS LIBRARY v
ABSTRACT
While the school is slowly aiming for modernizations for better facilities and
equipment, the current library of the Senior High School Department is still using the
traditional system, keeping book information, and a log for borrowers, in separate books,
completely kept by the librarian, all in written form. This study focuses on finding the
user’s response on the current library system through survey questionnaires and the
creation of a computerized library system. It uses evaluative as their research design and
survey as the method for gathering the data from the respondents comprised of library
users, specifically students and teachers of the Senior High School Department of St. John
the Baptist Catholic School. An analysis of these surveys yields that current users are
already satisfied with how the current system performs, from the librarian’s assistance to
its facilities and equipment, opposite to the hypothesis that they will rate it lower. Despite
that, everyone agrees on modernizing the current system for the convenience of the
librarian, to keep the records better and easier, and to the users, to find books faster. Thus,
a library management system named Sophia is created to satisfy these needs.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
“A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”
- George R. R. Martin (Game of Thrones, 1996)
Books have been a special item in every inventory of a bookworm, its source of
knowledge—a part of every academic institution. It may be a book full of stories or a book
of references; it is widely used both in the academe and in the entertainment. A book serves
as a memory saver; it keeps the mind sharp like the use of a whetstone to a sword.
Although the first libraries existed since 2600 BC, and created order within their
collection from as early as 5th century BC, the classification system never existed until the
Paris Bookseller’s classification, developed by Jacques Charles Brunet in 1842, is seen as
the first of the modern book classifications. Very shortly, Melvil Dewey and others began
to devise a new system in 1876 and many other library classification systems started
developing throughout the years. The four most common systems are Dewey Decimal
Classification (DDC), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), Colon Classification
(CC), and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC).
Along this evolution of library classification system, the card catalog system was
developed. In 1789, the French build a system, including an inventory of all books on the
backs of playing cards and became known as the “French Cataloguing Code of 1791”. In
1871, Natale Battezzati, proposed a standardized card system for booksellers to create an
in-store catalog of books. The use of cards for cataloguing books was later used by the
libraries and adopted the classification system such as the Dewey Decimal Classification
(DDC).
In modern times, the increasing number of books each year will be a burden for a
library to handle if they will still be using the physical card system. According to Google’s
advanced algorithm, the number of books ever published is nearly 130 million, a data
gathered in 2010. Moreover, according to UNESCO, the number of books published each
year is approximately 2,210,000. Another problem of the card system is the inconvenience
to the librarian, checking the inventory of books and recording it manually.
However, ever since the rise of MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging) standards
on 1960s, the difficulty for the increasing number of books was never a problem. Shortly
after, OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) systems started to develop. Simply speaking,
it is the electronic version of the card catalog. Libraries began to develop applications to
automate the circulation and cataloguing of books. These applications, collectively known
as an integrated library system (ILS), are the user’s access to the OPAC system that
manages the library’s book collection.
Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
Radovan Richta (1967) defined technology as “a material entity created by the
application of mental and physical effort to nature in order to achieve some value” which
evolved from tools, to machinery, to automation. This was an innovation-and-technology-
related theory called technological evolution. The society has undergone constant change.
Library, being part of society, has also undergone this process.

According to the Ranganathan's Fifth Law of Library Science, the library has been
a growing organism. Its phrase was derived from Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
(1859). It was a principle from The Five Principles of Library Science, a proposed theory
by S. R. Ranganathan (1931), detailing the doctrines of a library system. Libraries have
been growing and will continue to grow because of the rising vast information. For
efficiency, it should also meet the Fourth Law of Library Science and save the time of the
reader especially today in the digital age. An efficient library was better than a large library.
The principles presented above was the foundation of creating a better library system.

Figure 1. Diagram of the Conceptual Framework
In Figure 1, the paradigm for the conceptual framework was the Input-Process-
Output. The variables required were in the first box, namely, the input. The main
procedures of the process were presented on the middle box, which included the data
gathering technique, evaluation, and program creation. The survey questionnaires focused
on the perspective of the Senior High School Department regarding the current library

system—their rating and comments. Finally, the output of the research was the
implementation of the optimized, computerized, and advanced library system.
Statement of the Problem
The study aimed to discover the perspective of the Senior High School Department
towards the current library system and to establish a new system that could be used to
manage books and references for easier access on the catalogue of books to modernize the
traditional way of managing.
The following are the questions that are needed to be addressed in order to know
the perception of the respondents regarding the current library system.
1. How satisfied are the Senior High School Department with the current library
system? In terms of:
a. Librarian’s assistance
b. Facilities/Equipment/Overall Management
2. How the respondents perceived the library system in need of improvement?
Hypothesis
The Senior High School Department’s satisfaction level of the library management
is low and in need of improvement.
Significance of the Study
The aim of the researchers was to modernize the traditional way of
managing books by establishing a system that could be used to organize and manage books
and references in an easier or accessible manner in St. John the Baptist Catholic Senior

High School’s library. The results of the research would contribute a lot and gave benefits
to the following:
School Administration. The study would be beneficial to the school
administration for they no longer need to hire programmers for the researchers have already
provided an automated system. It is goal of the researchers to improvise a system that is
convenient for the improvement of the school service; the traditional way of accessing
books would be modernized.
Librarian. The result of this research would be beneficial to the school librarian.
He or she would have lesser work but would be able to provide better services because the
automated system would display data and information about the books in the library.
Lastly, the library would be more organized because the system would classify the books
according to its ID, year published.
Students. The study would be beneficial to the ones who contributes more to the
overall population of library users. It would be expected that they could get a better service
provided by the new electronic library system. Checking the books’ availability and
borrowing it would be more at ease.
Teachers. They would be able to lessen the time consumed in finding the books
that were being maintained and held at the library. The books would also be easily accessed
without the unnecessary act of finding it in the bookshelf one by one just to find out if it
was available or not.
Future Researchers. The outcome of this research would be beneficial to the
future researchers because using this study could be convenient for them when they start

researching. It can be used for references for the data in this research are accurate and
carefully examined by the researchers.
Scope and Delimitations
The study focused on the modernization of the book management at St. John the
Baptist Catholic School Senior High School Department S.Y. 2017-2018. Additionally, it
covered the Senior High School students and the teachers.
The study was conducted at St. John the Baptist Catholic School - Senior High
school building. The respondents evaluated the current library system of the said school,
which was exclusive for the senior high school library. Furthermore, the study aimed to
gather the perspectives of both the senior high school students and the teachers regarding
to the library system. In addition, the researchers have strived to establish a new, user-
friendly, and advanced computerized library system. The research revolved in the library
system of St. John the Baptist Catholic School Senior High School building.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter involves the study of the findings and conclusion of related researches.
The studies included in this chapter helps provide an in-depth background information
about the problem.
Related Literature
The related studies and literature provided previous researches and studies about
library systems. It provided data about how modern library systems with the use of
computers have been a great development of the traditional system, which was the use of
the card catalog. It could be used as a guide in the making of this research so that the
researchers could enhance and contribute other data from this study especially in dealing
with the change of using the modernized library system from the traditional way.
Furthermore, this has provided information for what further research had to be done by the
future researchers.
According to E. Valenti (2016) from the article titled “The State of Library
Management Systems”, library system help in terms of some agenda that was happening
in the library. In this system, it was said that the computerized library systems could do
multi-tasking. It could record books in the library and make various ways of transactions.
It could make the library’s service much easier, user-friendly, and suitable when creating
the card cataloging. The system was also the one that would record all the books in the

library so it could be reachable by the readers and help the librarian by making his or her
work faster and easier.
D. Lourdes (2012) stated from the article "The DOST-ESEP Libraries: The First
Library Network in The Philippines" that the planning of the said system was already on
the verge of producing way back 1995. The proposed system was denied because it was
difficult to implement the system during that time due to the lack of knowledge in using
computers and not enough resources; hence, it took a long time to be able to finally release
it in public. The releasing of the system was just a click to some universities during 2012
and paid partnership to use the said system. Librarians, scholars, teachers, and other
person’s affiliated found this system a big help in the state of the Philippine libraries.
Lourdes also claimed that it could make libraries in the Philippines a world-class one and
have the ability to compete with other countries.
Related Studies
The emergence of technology has brought changes, and the primary advantage of
it was that it made things much quicker and easier. The changes that technology brought
were visible not just in media, government, school and home, but also many public places
as well. However, there were still places that were not being visited by the technological
age because of the preference for the traditional method, the school libraries. Today, this
preference has changed.
In the past decades, many universities have started to upgrade their libraries.
Library system theses from students started to appear within schools to take over the

traditional card catalog system. There were recent studies regarding the assessment of
libraries with numerous books, references, magazines, and such.
To give a latest local example, a working library system was created on Sta. Monica
De Minalin Montessori School in Pampanga last 2011 by Mabel Alcantara, Christian Bryan
Munoz, and Mara Clara Ocampo. Dio Doble and Reggie Romero created the same system
in Botolan Community College in Zambales last 2012.
The systems were proved effective and according to Analee Mayo (2016),
information and communication technology (ICT) have brought a big change in how
people manage information, give services, and perform operations in our libraries. It has
now easier for both the librarians and library users. Adding newly acquired library
materials to the inventory has never been easier; a person only needs to input it in the online
catalog of the library. Borrowing and returning of books has now been faster because of
the system that manage it. The overdue books and materials have now been easily
monitored and tracked by the librarian.
According to Eden (2011), there have been cases that many libraries have lessen
staff because of improved and modernized system. In addition to that, the library
administration needs to inform their staff that they would be needing to train and be familiar
with the technology and online public access catalog.
The relationship between the library and computer was constantly changing that the
use of computer contributes to the way man learns and communicates. It was easy in this
world to strive for changes and since the library was no different from any firm and
institution, considering the use of a computer to perform a given task will be efficient.

Librarians have the responsibility not only to know about the ways in which libraries will
be managed using techniques of computerized, but also to be aware of the changes that
computerized can bring to the library services in the near future. (Grace, 2011)
Mathew Pciszek (2010) discussed that gathering assessments were beneficial for
determining the different forms of collection and were not suitable for huge libraries with
many different collections. However, C. Maxey Harris (2010) revealed the fact that only a
few have researched about large-scale diversity gathering assessment. Still, Pciszek
asserted that more tools were to be improved to help assessment of collections in
institutions. His research showed multiple tools for forms of related collection
development. Tools that could be used to access the references faster, and improve the
convenience of the librarians and readers.
Yet, it was revealed that this present automated library catalog still has its flaws
and this was what Jon Hufford (2007) have started. Five organizations have partnered
(Joseph R. Matthews and Associates, the Library of Congress, the Online Computer
Library Center, Inc. (OCLC), the University of California's Division of Library
Automation, and the Research Libraries Group, Inc. (RLG)), with the help of the funds
coming from Council on Library Resources, to do a concerted study concentrated on
analyzing Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) user behavior and the examination of
the existing OPAC system.
A research titled, “Computerized Library System” by Dio P. Doble, used a standard
questionnaire that evaluated the proposed computerized library system, which resulted in
an average weighted mean of 4.20 that interpreted as excellence. He concluded that the
proposed system and the current library system has huge difference and the computerized

system was truly beneficial to both librarian and students. In the end, the research
recommended improving the system since technology and people’s demand into it was
increasing.
In line with this, the researchers would be able to have a feature wherein the users
or the librarian would not need to search for the record, instead, it would go directly into
the search engine for easier access and not time consuming.
The ultimate goal of this research is to improve the current Online Public Access
Catalogue (OPAC) through better design and enhancement. The flaws found was that some
of the library staff are having a hard time to manage the system because of its complex
search points. It was later addressed for simpler design but produced a problem about the
lack of information.
The outdated look of these electronic library systems was what makes them look
confusing, especially today when people normally see modern looks in programs and
applications. In studies, aesthetically pleasing interfaces could be a pleasure to use. It could
elicit good feelings about people. On the other hand, bad design can make people frustrated
and angry. Therefore, a rich user interface of a well-designed program was more
successful. There was no reason to make the program ugly; there was more reason to make
it more beautiful (Preece, J. et al., 2002).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter involves the methods being used in the research. It includes the
research design, techniques, instruments, and formulas of the study in order to attain the
data needed to get the final conclusion.
Research Design
"Evaluation is the collection of, analysis and interpretation of information about
any aspect of a program of education or training as part of a recognized process of judging
its effectiveness, its efficiency and any other outcomes it may have." –Mary Thorpe in
"Handbook of Education Technology" (Ellington, Percival and Race, 1988). The research
design that best suited the research for it evaluates the effectiveness or appropriateness of
the current library system’s quality of book management.
According to Manuel and Medel (2014), “Descriptive research describes what is. It
involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of the present nature,
composition or processes of phenomena.” Descriptive is the collection of data describing
some event that can be determined or not such as questions, observation, and interviews.
Respondents
The participants of the study are the students and teachers of the Senior High School
Department of St. John the Baptist Catholic School. Using the simple random sampling as
the sampling technique, the researchers would able to find the respondents who would be
the participants of the research. The said technique was chosen for a reason that every

individual in the Senior Department would have an equal opportunity to contribute to the
research. The researchers use Slovin’s formula to find the sample size of the population—
the total population of the Senior High School Department is 248 and the respondents
would be 154.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers used Survey as their data collection technique because this would
prove to be the most fitting out of any for the reason that survey gives the researchers many
and different data in a short amount of time. While questionnaire would serve as the
instrument in gathering data.
The questionnaire was composed of statements, and scales which determined the
opinion of the respondents regarding the current Library System. Regarding scales, the
researchers used Likert Scale for it is used as the standard for determining the quality of
the subject coming from scales respondents. Moreover, it lets the respondents to express
how much they agree or disagree onto something with a particular statement.
Ethical Considerations
Ethics accumulates and was a scientific inquiry of searching or defining what must
be done and not that leads to morality. It also tells everyone—especially the researchers in
this case—to know what to approve or disapprove conduct. The way respondents were
going to be affected by knowing what would happen in the research was called ethical
consideration. The ethical consideration applied was informed consent; the respondents
were informed about the study as well as the terms and conditions. Meaning, they granted
permission and aware of the possible consequences.

Confidentiality was necessary in every study. The personal data that the
respondents trusted to the research would remain confidential and it would only be used
for the said research and would not use against the respondent. Their information would be
protected and would not be going to be published. As well as anonymity, for it was the
researcher’s responsibility to get permission to the authorities who are in charge of private
records to gain access or pieces of information that will help the research. The anonymity
of information should be maintained carefully; all the processes that were being done in
the research were signed, confirmed, and approved by the school administrators and the
research adviser. Lastly, objectivity; it promotes unbiased data analysis, data interpretation,
peer review and other aspects of research that expects wherein it was required. There would
be no opinions coming from the researchers, meaning, the interest that may affect the
results that may cause subjectivity was disclosed.
Statistical Treatment
Descriptive statistics was applied in this research. Descriptive statistics was the
summarization of sample for it characterizes the data based on properties. It provides
simplified summaries of the measures that served as the basis of analyzing the data.
Descriptive statistics was a way of summarizing large sets of quantitative
(numerical) information (Booere, 2005). It was utilized to know how the population
responds to the upcoming changes in the library.
The method and measurements used by the researchers are as follows:
I. Slovin’s Formula. Used to determine and calculate the sample size from a population
size and the margin error or the confidence of percentage.

Formula:
�=
+ �2
Where:
n = sample size
N = population size
e = margin of error
II. Frequency. Used for determining the percentage usually for basic profiles of the
respondents (student or teacher, reader or non-reader for this case) or the number of
respondents who answered a specific statement.
Formula:
� �
% �� = � ��
×
III. Mean. It is the total average of all the numbers in a specified table. To get the value,
add all up the numbers and then simply divide by how many numbers are there. The mean
is for the measure of the center of the data.
Formula:
Σ�
�̅ =
�
Where:
n = total number of numbers

Σ � = a number
IV. Grand Mean. The overall mean or the mean of observations of the numerical
set.
Formula:
Σ ��
� =
Where:
N = total number of means
Σ �� = sum of the means

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the analysis of the data in line with an interpretation. The
findings were based on the research questions that were conducted during the study. The
data were interpreted to evaluate and describe the perceptions of the students and teachers
to the Library System of St. John the Baptist Catholic School; Senior High School
Department and to determine if there is a need for a new, advanced, and more developed
Library system.

Table no. 1 shows that more than half of the respondents, which was 80 out of 154,
agreed that the librarian was knowledgeable enough when it comes about the availability

of a certain book in the library. Moreover, it appears that most of the respondents agreed
that the librarian was entertaining questions and responding to their inquiries with the mean
of 3.99. In addition, the great number of the students and teachers in St. John the Baptist
Catholic School, with the mean of 3.9, agreed that they were satisfied with the overall
assistance of the librarian.
The overall assessment or the total average (grand mean) of the librarian’s
assistance was 4.05 which the verbal interpretation would be ‘Agree’. This mean that a
great number of the respondents were satisfied and being assisted accordingly to their need
by the librarian.

Table no. 2 shows that with the mean of 3.92, respondents rated the library
environment very good. In addition, the service or the borrowing and returning of books
were rated very well by the respondents, with the mean of 3.78. The library was updated
assessed and agreed by majority of the respondents with the mean of 3.66 and verbal
interpretation of Very good. Majority of the respondents believed that the school library
has very good equipment for it has the mean of 3.55 and interpreted as ‘very good.’ Many
of the respondents rated the accessibility in the library as very good.
The overall rating of the library’s facilities, equipment and management was 3.78
with the verbal interpretation of very good. The respondents gave high rating to the library
and currently satisfied with the management.
