Background of The Study
the library system. The STI College Global City Library System aimed to
enhance the procedures of the library, from manually operated to a high
level system. This proposals purpose was to ease the transactions in the
library, i.e., lending of books, storing books, search engine for books,
manage members of the library and secure the library system. The
librarian and the library users still use the manual way of transacting of
borrowing and returning of books. The librarian uses log books in listing
books. Users of the system, still uses library cards and card catalogues in
searching for reading and reference materials.

Company Background
STI COLLEGE GLOBAL CITY is built 6 years ago, at first the
library is located on 3rd floor and has no proper management. Now, the
STI Global citys library is located at the 6 th floor of STI Global Building.
They currently had the system called MABINI SYSTEM that is being
used to manage all the records and transactions that is being done on
the library.
The library also had software for bibliography thats called the
OPAC (Online public access catalog) this system is an online
bibliography collection that is open for all the proponents using the
library. The hardware that the library using is desktop for handling the
two system and a printer to provide output for the system.
I.2 Business Process
The current system had problems in terms of the transactions. Like
lagging and errors. Furthermore, the records in the last semester return
into the system even the system is deleted. In recording the
returned/borrowed books the system is not that accurate to handle
transactions twice at the same time.

Students
Through a computerized Library System, the student can easily
find the books that the student are looking for without going through the
traditional way of searching a library material. Convenience is more
visible for it is not time-consuming, resulting to a number of
accomplished works.
Librarian
The computerized Library system would improve the monitoring
capacities of those who maintain the library. The system would be
easier to determine whether a particular book is on shelf or not. In
addition, the librarian can easily identify when the borrowed material
will be returned and if a borrower has failed to return the book on its
due date. Furthermore, the librarian would be much guided when it
comes to recognizing new inventory books, letting them arrange it
promptly and accordingly.
School
The Computerized Library system is to provide quality data in
the school in a timely fashion through system that are completely
integrated. This will provide opportunities for operational efficiency.
