...Library System 1. INTRODUCTION Ramon Magsaysay Technological University shall be a leading people’s university of science and technology for sustainable development in global society. CORE VALUES R- ighteous, results-based and responsible governance M- oral courage, integrity and honesty T- ransparency, trust and respect for self and others U- nity in diversity and being one the community BRIEF HISTORY The Ramon Magsaysay Technological University, a merger of three public education institutions in the province of Zambales, was established by virtue of Republic Act 8498 enacted on February 12, 1998 through the initiative of Antonio M. Diaz. The University Charter integrated the former Ramon Magsaysay Polytechnic College (RMPC) in Iba, the Western Luzon Agricultural College (WLAC) in San Marcelino, an the Candelaria School of Fisheries (CSF), after a three-year transition period. The strengths of its parents-institutions, which had existed since the early 1990s served RMTU’s springboard for its accelerated growth and development. The RMPC in 1998, which is now RMTU’s main Campus, was found as a farm school in 1910. It was converted into a provincial trade in 1919. Through the years, it metamorphosed into Zambales Trade School on 1993., Western Luzon School of Arts and Trades in 1953, Zambales Scool of Arts and Trades in 1957, Ramon Magsaysay Memorial School of Arts and Trades in 1961. It became a DECS supervised College (RMPC) in 1993 and chartered state...

...Planning and implementation of Library Automation Bangladesh perspective Prepared by M Hossam Haider Chowdhury Associate Librarian, Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) For Workshop on “Digitization of Medical Library and Information Services”, 2002, Mohakhali, Dhaka Automation, i.e., dependency on machine, has remarkable influence at our work place. With the help of machine people perform their job comfortably and quickly and ultimately it increases people’s efficiency and effectiveness. In case of library the term “automation” basically means computerization of library activity. Computer influences all fields of human activity. Pandey S.K. Sharma describes influence of computer very nicely in his book on library automation. “The invention and increasing use of computers in various fields of human activity is witness to the fact that the computer is considered to be essential component for all-round development. Computers’ entry and its continuance in almost all fields of human endeavor is due to its invincible qualities, viz., the splendid speed to act in nano-second, the superb capabilities to do unmanageable and impossible looking things, the unlimited capacity to store ocean of information on to tiny storage mediums, immense capability to perform repetitive jobs without fatigue, the radical power to sort, arrange, retrieve and disseminate information almost instantaneously etc., etc. Day by day it is becoming more and more indispensable for...

...Your task: Design and Build a Computer System for a Library From Last week The Managing Director of an independent specialist library has asked to speak to you about computerising their operation. She has a limited budget and wants to see a quick return on investment. Whilst waiting to interview the Director, you speak to two of the desk librarians who outline how the library operates. It is very straightforward, anyone can come in and browse the library shelves or its catalogue but to borrow a book you have to register as a member of the library and be issued with membership card. Members can borrow up to five books for two weeks a time. A loan can be renewed and extended either at the desk or over the telephone. If a book is not available because it already out on loan a member can reserve a copy. If it is not in the collection, the librarian can acquire a copy for the library (if it is within budget) or arrange an inter-library loan. Every year the librarians trawl through the collection and weed out books that are out of date or in poor condition and buy new books. The membership lists, catalogue and loans are still done manually on index cards. When it started this was fine, but the library has expanded rapidly and during busy periods there can be quite a long queue at the desk of members wanting to return or borrow books. In the library you also talk to some members. They all found the library by word-of-mouth. They think it is great. It as it has...

...professional responsibilities. These challenges will always exist for women with families. And I believe most woman would always work a less demanding position to ease the balance. If I had to choose which technology I could not live without, it would have to be my cell phone. I no longer have a land line. Therefore, my cell phone is my only source of communication with my family, my boys' teachers and co-workers/bosses. What worries me about our dependency on some technology, is if you had to go back to the day that certain technology did exist like GPS would you remember how to use a map? If you were at the library and the computer system there was down, would you remember how to use the card catalog? I'm sure there are some people who don't even know what a card catalog is. With all that being said I do not think I could live off the grid. Maybe for a week or two vacation. But not for any longer then that. Going off the grid would be good because it would force one to get back in touch with nature. It would give you time to clear your head and unwind. Getting back to the basics of life like years ago when life was simple. It definitely would take a little time to get used to. But would be a nice break. I do not feel that in my profession (human resources), I would be able to go off the grid. I use the telephone several times throughout the day and make multiple copies of...

...Good Day ! We, third year BS Computer Engineering students of FEU-East Asia College, are currently taking up the subject ENGE503 – Technical Writing for Engineering. A requirement of this subject is to study an existing design and later propose changes to the design’s weaknesses and irregularities. Our group decided to study the existing Returning and Borrowing System of Books in the Library. The group’s aim is to evaluate the effectivity of the system to its users, like students and faculty. And so, a survey is formulated to assist the group’s objective. We would like you to answer the following questions whole-heartedly to help us evaluate the system effectively and later propose changes based on the answers provided. Thank you and God Bless! -The Angry Birds Group 1. How often do you borrow books in the Library? __ everyday __ twice a month __ once a week __ once a month __ twice a week __ once a year 2. How long does it take you to borrow a book or a reading material? __ 3-5 mins. __ 5-10 mins. __ 10-15 mins. 3. Have you experienced difficulty finding books provided by OPAC? __ Yes __ No 4. Do you think the database system of OPAC is updated? __ Yes __ No 5.

Do you think this process needs to be improved? __ Yes __ No 6. Are your expectations...

...In two or three paragraphs describe how you plan to narrow the focus of your research in order to select the most useful and compelling resources. What techniques (critical, methodological, etc.) or tools (databases, bibliographies, etc.) will you use? And how will you collect and organize your information (note cards, book marks, etc.)? I plan on narrowing the focus of my research by using the Ashford University library, and also my local library as well. I also plan on searching newspapers, magazines and encyclopedias, that have discuss this type of topic in the past. I also plan on looking up my topic with creditable interest sites. I think if I use all the above resources for my topic (Is privacy in the 21st century possible) they will be useful in my upcoming research assignment. The techniques I plan on using is the critical thinking as well as methodology. I think with both of these techniques they will be helpful in my research and thinking skills. I plan on making notes with index cards as I do my researches and resources. I also plan on highlighting important information in magazines and book. As I research information from Ashford library, I plan on printing the information out and writing down notes in a journal, as well as logging down dates, times, and citations from bibliographies and databases.
