Library Information System
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
I.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The world of Information Technology transformed and made the life of human beings easier through the innovation of different machines and software applications. Faster and reliable sources have been offered by search engines which are all over the web. But even though this is the case, many schools and universities are still requiring their students to use library materials in their researches and school works. Our proposed system, the Library Information System, is a system wherein there is no need of manual library transactions. This will carry out different processes such as searching books, keep records of the books, borrowing of books and return of books. The main purpose of this proposal is to provide the members and students of the educational institution an easy access and comfortable way to get or to issue books. This system will also provide the information needed in determining the status of the books, and also useful in providing information that which book is issued to which member or student. The members and students will have different choices based on their necessities which this system will provide easy navigational features that provides a very user-friendly interface. Sta. Lucia Academy is a secondary school located at Sta. Lucia, Ilocos Sur. It is founded by the late Teofisto Hermosa, the father of their current principal, Mrs. Liberty Acosta. Their vision is to be an educational institution that is caring, helping, and supportive in the pursuit of quality education for an educational community, maximizing its objectives to the national and local development goals forming a community which is pro-God, pro-man and pro-nature. They also believe that they will accomplish the aim in the establishment of a secondary school in the community, prepare the students with an effective secondary curriculum that would prepare them for their tertiary schooling, develop among the students the
