    The system that we analyzed is all-manual system, even the borrowing and returning of books is needed to be listed manually. We thought that they cannot really track the books that are borrowed because they just list their names and section when borrowing. The librarian is working alone so it takes time to finish all her tasks; sometimes she cannot handle to give the books that are behind the counter that are needed to be borrowed so she lets the student to take it. The books does not have a bar code for security in returning or borrowing, the only key to identify the book is the number written on the bottom or top of the book. The librarian check if the returned books are match to the details written on the paper by the student, which includes the number of the book, that’s the only bases of the librarian if the book is returned by the proper person. On the other hand, if the book does not returned in the exact time or date, the only way that the librarian does, so the student will be cleared, is she will be assigning the student to a work like cleaning the library, act like a book keeper, etc. In other cases like if the book was lost, the student must replace the lost book. There is a difference between borrowing and returning a textbook with a reference book. The student can borrow the textbook until the end of the school year same with the employee, the only difference is the student will write the information in a piece of paper, while the employee have their own folders or records that are stored in a cabinet, all their records are written there including the date and time when the books are returned. The faculty is allowed to borrow reference books until the end of the school year, while students are allowed just for one day. The transactions are very traditional, it is hard to monitor and handle the big number of students borrowing and returning books at the same time. There is a computer in the library which the…

    Library Automation has been defined as ‘integrated systems’ that computerizes an array of traditional library functions using a common database (Cohn, Kelsey and Fiels) and while this is still generally true, rapid technological change is forcing a re-examination of what it means to “automate the library”.

ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science defines automation as “the performance of an operation, a series of operations or a process by self activating, self controlling, or automatic means. Automation implies the use of automatic data processing equipment such as a computer or other labour saving devices”.…
