Through the years, technology has been continuous on upgrading and innovating,
making things easier and more convenient on every aspect of human living in terms of
communication, entertainment, industries, security, efficiency, household chores, travel
purposes and access of information. With this continuous and fast innovation, the
researchers thought of a technology that will benefit a library, the Quezon City Public
Library. Storing, retrieving and maintaining the security of the information in big
institutions like libraries is a hard thing to manage. An institution needs a computerized
system that would help storing, retrieving and maintaining data security possible and
efficient. With the implementation of QR Code in a library, the Quezon City Public Library
may give a better service to its users or visitors.
The locale of the study is bound in the nearby areas of Quezon City Public Library
and will use the accidental sampling technique. The research method used in the study
is Descriptive method both Qualitative and Quantitative method which uses data
gathering through surveys with the use of a questionnaire.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction Formatted: Space After: 0 pt, Line spacing: Double
Through the years, technology has been continuous on upgrading and innovating,
making things easier and more convenient on every aspect of human living in terms of
communication, entertainment, industries, security, efficiency, household chores, travel
purposes and access of information. Talking about accessing information, most people
nowadays made the internet as their primary source of information excluding those
people who prefer libraries more than the internet. Those people find library more
accurate on information or just not all people can use or access the internet. Speaking
of innovating technology, the researchers has come up a way to benefit a chosen library
to cope up with the continuous innovation of technology. In Quezon City Public Library,
they already have a system but only an inventory system in which some personnel can
check the title of the book if it is available in their library which the user or a visitor is
looking for. The idea of implementing QR Code in improvising the library management
system works in different way.
But first, what is a QR Code? Quick Response codes or in brief QR Codes, are
two-dimensional (2D) matrix barcodes that is scanned using exploitation sensible and
web capable smart mobile phones having camera, with QR reader put in as default
application, allows one to access some pre-written content such as a web site address,
email address, details of things within the catalogue, phone numbers etc. Developed by
12

Toyota subsidiary. Denso Wave in 1994 with the first aim of being a symbol that is easily
decoded by scanner instrumentation at high speed with additional knowledge content
than conventional barcodes. Conventional Universal Product Code contains decoded
data in one direction i.e. vertically into bars and house in between; whereas QR Code
contains decoded data in each the directions i.e. vertical and horizontal direction. QR
code can hold additional volume of information than barcode, which is even a whole
bunch of times as abundant data.
In this study, the researchers proposed to use QR code and QR code scanner to
read and record the information of the book including the title of the book, the author,
and other important details. Not only that, the QR Code and QR code scanner will be
also used as personal identification where a user can have his or her own card with a
QR code to be scanned, once logged, a user can now scan the QR Code of the book,
then it will automatically store the information of the user and the book into a database
including the borrower’s information, book/s’ information, date and time
borrowed/returned, and the list of the users previous and present borrowed/returned
books. This systematic way of recording information can help an institution preserve the
important information and avoid the loss of single record in the library. These codes are
capable to deliver required information to modern day library users and give them quick
access to the Quezon City Public Library. And this technology will benefit the library
personnel in keeping the intangible data.
Modern libraries, just like the Quezon City Public library need to be upgraded with
new technologies to cope with fast innovating modern technology. With the help of the
database specialized to store information using the camera of a PC, this innovation will
12

become possible. Adaptation of the QR code in library management system will help to
improve services for users and will enhance the reputation of library and information
services and professionals. Online catalogues or hardcopies of catalogues to be
replaced with these new generation interfaces to reach the expectations of the users but
also to build a modern institution.
For a user to access a library, he or she must log first, writes name, title of the book
he or she wanted to borrow, user’s address if needed and the current date and time. The
best way to understand what a QR code is and how it can be used is to think of it as a
link. Instead of having people write down the needed information, they can simply scan
a QR code to successfully log in the library. The action is fast and simple. To make it
possible, some personnel will use PC with an integrated camera and a QR code reader.
QR codes can be used in modern libraries order to manage information, promote a new
way of library management system, help improve the services to the users, and to create
a systematic way of keeping records.
The main goal of this study is for the proponents of this research to make an
analysis and determine the Design and Development of Library Management System
with the Implementation of QR Code Technology in Improvising the Library Information
System of Quezon City Public Library.
This study must meet the standards of data security, data accessibility,
maintenance of records and must introduce the modern technology of library
management system. QR codes looks simple and mostly free of cost to create, but it
creates new paradigm and dimensions to the library resources and service.

REVIEWS OF RELATED LITERATURES AND STUDIES
This chapter provides support in details and information to promote understanding
of the nature of the study. It contains literatures and studies shown by different
researchers and authors who worked on similar topics conducted in this study.
Library Management System
According to Kumar and Singh (2014), the librarians usually encounters problems
in managing the files of the library. They sometimes encounter file lost, file damage,
difficulty in searching through piles of records, space consuming and also cost
consuming. They decided to create a system that will help to improve the control and
performance of the library. As well as saving time and many more advantages. Their
proposed system will allow the librarian to add more user, validate user, and is also bug
free.
AccordingWhile according to Din and Rehman (2015) stated that the study they
proposed to develop an online library management system for university of Haripur. The
proposed system will allow the user to maintain the books, documents and student
record through the internet. The system will be an added part to the existing MIS system
of University of Haripur and will be interlinked to the other modules of the system. It will
only allow authorized users to access the system i.e. the student whom status is active.
12

It will be a big help in document management since the library still operate through
manual operations.
The study from the University of Chicago (2016) entitled “What do you understand
by library management system?” explain about the computerization in Libraries. Based
on the study, libraries are one of the oldest institutions in our society. It is in the midst of
the rapid change in recent times. Most of the libraries are now moving beyond their
traditional role as custodians of books and they are now starting to integrate new
methods of storing, managing, and transmission of information. A library management
software is designed to handle the usual task that they do in the library to manage the
books and the transactions that happens.
Based on the essay from the University of Chicago (2016), a computer plays a vital
role in our life and in the society. Business and Government are now using computer –
based system. Efficiency and Accuracy are achieved. This idea may be a great help in
the Library system, since majority of the libraries are still using manual operations. It will
give more time for the librarian to accommodate more tasks every day.
In his study, Khan (2013) proposing a library management system that focuses on
monitoring and controlling the transactions that happens in the library. The proposed
system is developed in java, and it will also allow the user to add new members, new
books and updating new information. And will be easier for the librarian to search for the
locations of the books as well as managing the borrowed and returned books.
According to the thesis entitled “Web-Based Library Management System with
PHP and MySQL” by Jiawei (n.d.) the objective of the thesis was to develop a web-based
12

library management system based on PHP and MySQL in order to reduce the cost of
management and make it convenient for the user. The web-based library management
system will allow have the common features of a library management system.
Administration, book- seeker, leasing and also email. This will one of the best solutions
in the common problems that the librarians encounter in their manual management of
the files and books.
The article discussed about the library management system from the University of
Chicago (2016) that today’s modern age of libraries can’t cope with the evolution of
technology. Still majority of the libraries are still using papers or the manual data
management. Particularly in some schools are still done manually. We all know that
modern school libraries are operating at great pace striving to serve as many students
as possible with the best of their abilities. The author also said that the main goal of the
Library management system is to store, organize, share and retrieve vital information
needed to perform daily operational functions that is commonly done in the libraries. It
makes the performance of the library more efficient.
The thesis entitled “The Application of QR Codes in UK Academic Libraries” by
Elmore and Stephens (n.d.) aims to know if the use of QR code will be helpful in terms
of Library Management. The article also considers the increasing need for academic
libraries to promote their services and resources to a “mobile clientele”. It reports on two
case studies of UK academic libraries that use QR codes to promote library resources.
It also gives an account of a pilot exercise at Loughborough University Library where QR
codes were briefly tested.

12

According to the University of Chicago (2016), the author said on the essay that
the applications software is developed to make a record of book purchasing, book
searching, book issuing, rent and other library related task. The scope of the library
application is to generate the automatic process of manual handling of library records
and also to handle the stock as well as the book issues. The system stores all the needed
information in every transaction that happen in the library every day.
In her study Foss (n.d.), the Library Director of the Catawba County Library System
in Newton, North Carolina has stated that it is hard to find materials to support new public
library managers nurture their professional development. Most of the research ad
writings on library management have dedicated on academic libraries and only recently
has there been more interest in the administration of public libraries. The skill and style
of public library managers – the directors, branch managers, and department and service
a manger who are foremost these institutions – strongly affects the culture of a public
library.
AccordingWhile according to Doble (n.d.), a college supports its educational level
through the progression of its library. The Botolan Community College Computerize
Library System intended to improve the procedures of the library, from physically
operated to an electronic system.
According to University of Arkansas (2016), the study discussed that library is
regarded as the brain of the institutes. The library system offers a more flexible and
convenient way in doing library related tasks. The system will allow the librarian and the
library users to maximize time and efficiency. It will keep track of the number of books,
the books that are borrowed and those that are already returned. The essay also stated
12

that one of the schools that need to improve their library transactions is the STI College
Legazpi.
According to the article (2016) discussed that these days, libraries are organized
collections of digital information. They combine structuring and gathering of information,
which libraries archives have always done, with the digital representations that
computers have made possible. New now allows people to do things in a more
convenient and efficient way. Technology also is changing the way we create, access
and use information.
Library an Internet
According to Study Moose Website (2016), the research entitled “Library an
Internet” explains that the use of library and internet is both considered as a big source
of information. Both looks to be working the same intention but as time goes by and world
changes to modernizations and directions, we conclude that not all the information in the
library are available than the internet even though the authors of journals of the book.
Digital Library
AccordingIn accordance to Tipton (2016), she discussed about the digital library
where collections are store in digital formats instead of physical formats and accessible
using computers. And the content can be accessed locally, as in within a library. And
that it is important for the user to easily locate and access the information. They want to
access it electronically.
12

The study from the University of Arkansas (2016) discussed that the Digital library
is where the information is stored digitally. The Information are stored in the form of
electrical portal that provides access to all kind of databases such as bibliographies, full-
text resources, catalogues, search engines, internet resources and reference works.
There are now e-books, e- books are the digital versions of the books. Instead of reading
the hard copy of the books, you can now read them and locate parts of it in an easier
way.
Economy
In Accordance to what Huang (2016) stated in the research Design and
Implementation of Financial Supervision and Management Information System. The
degree of financial deepening is developing with the development of the economy and
development, so the cost of financial supervision has intrinsic growth rigidity to decide
whether to take the cost of the strategy which must be subject to the overall financial
stability. Under the premise of maintaining the existing supervision cost, it is a realistic
choice to improve the effectiveness of financial supervision by taking effective measures,
to improve the income of financial supervision.
News
According to Ho (n.d.) in a column of Inquirer.Net entitled The Local Firms
Embracing Outsourced Supply Chain Management System stated that the local
companies increasingly embracing outsourced supply chain management services to
increase their operation competence and became more modest in their respective
sectors.
12

Business
According toBased on the article, Golden Arches Development Corporation (n.d.),
“If you have a smartphone, you can scan the QR code at the counter and download Ang
Pao coupon on the spot for your lunch”. On that statement, Philippines McDonald’s, uses
QR code to engage with the usefulness on it. Some people can’t notice that they are
using QR code since it was not totally exposed on past 15 years. QR code is now globally
competitive.
According to Gaanan, Luna and Tan (n.d.) in their research entitled JEYA Food
Manufacturing Management System with SMS Inquiry, it is highly recommended, for an
establishment, to have a management system. It is because of the time they will be
saving for it lessens the task that has been given to the employees. Furthermore,
transactions between the client and the establishment would be faster given that it will
be automated. According to them, it saves effort and time resulting to it is more likely to
use than the traditional way.
The study entitled “Quality Magazine’s Improving Your Business with Management
System Standards Management System” by Dimaria (2014) explain the importance of
using standards in the businesses even in small or large company. This study is to
ensure the operations, services and products that meets the expectation of the
customers. It also monitored the health organization and drive continual improvement to
improve their processes.
According to this article entitled “Why are Database Management System
Important to Business Organizations” by Hanks (n.d.) explained the current relational
database management system programs uses programming language to organize their

12

important data. Including the open-source MYSQL database and MSSQL database
server helps the outside program to access its data via SQL structured queries.
As mentioned by Foor (2015) in her blog entitled “Top 10 Reasons for Good
Information System in your Business Today”, the best reasons to begin a reliable and
good information system that gain the benefits if the companies earn insight to better
align identify critical relationships, strategies and breaks along company dimensions of
processes, infrastructure, people and culture.
AccordingWhile according to the book Management Information Systems Ninth
Edition by Lucey (2015). Both service and manufacturing organizations, have yet to
increase competition. Consumers, however, are increasing their eagerness to
experience greater productivity. A key feature of lean production is the use of just in-time
systems. It aims to produce items, of high quality, exactly at the time required.
According to Brien and Marakas (n.d.), in their book Management Information
Systems 7th Edition: a business manager need must not be skilled in a functional
specialty such as engineering, human resources, finance, manufacturing, marketing
and/or understands the traditional functions of planning, organizing, staffing and
controlling. The systems approach to management, coupled with the ability to efficiently
contribute in the analysis, implementation, design and use of computer-based
information systems.
Management
According toBased on the article, Records Management Philippines: Primo
Archives, Management's Top 5 Reasons for Adopting the Latest Technology, there are
12

five reasons to have a proper records management system in your organization: to keep
the growth and creation of records check; to save on business operating costs; to make
the office more productive and efficient; to make better use of new technologies in the
office; and lastly to keep vital information safe.

According to De Chavez et.al (2015) stated that one of which is the Boy Scouts of
the Philippines, who is struggling in managing their properties and assets and also
producing inventory reports of their property count because they are still using the
manual process. This paper shows some design solution that might help manage
inventories easier and more convenient. The design solution is an automated inventory
system using Quick Response (QR) Code and Barcode technology and this system is a
GUI based application that uses a webcam as a tool for scanning item codes instead of
using laser scanners. The design project was able to become a possible solution to
address problems in managing inventories as it provides convenience and lessen errors
in tallying an organization’s properties.
Based on the Administrative Order No. 17 of President Benigno Aquino III (2011),
entitled “Directing the use of Procurement Service and the Philippine Government
Electronic Procurement System in Procurement Activities in Accordance with Republic
Act 9184, and Improving the Operation of the Procurements Service”, it is stated on
Section 6, it is of importance to “develop a computerized system to manage inventories”.
Therefore, it is important to government agencies improve and upgrade their services
and use an automated approach in their inventory systems. Annual inventory report is
required for all the government entities to submit. Under COA’s Audit Jurisdiction, COA
12

has the right to collect inventories and audit of the properties of every government
entities.
In this study entitled “An Automated Inventory System Using Quick Response (QR)
Code and Barcode for Property Management of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines” (2015)
explained that the proposed system will surely be useful to the personnel. Because since
its automated, it will be a more efficient and convenient to in tallying their properties
rather than doing it manually. And it will also reduce the errors in documentation. Using
the system, they will be able to track their borrowers and identify the reliable person for
property damage and losses easily.
Technology
According to Gee (n.d.) the founder and CEO of Scan Inc., Manila, Philippines said
that “If you have seen someone taking a snap of a QR code with his smartphone, there’s
a big chance that the application he is using came from a start-up based in Provo, Utah,
which was founded by a young Fil-Am developer”.
As mentioned by Calima (2012), in the Philippine Star Website explained the
“disruptive apps” established by using scan with QR codes and near-field
communications (NFC) technologies to be used in a “fun and innovative way” in mobile
commerce and media.
According to Gee (2012) in Philippine Smartphone Owners Heavy Users of QR
code, the possible use of QR codes and other NFC technologies is a bright future waiting
for the emerging trend in a short period of time and the long term. Like for example, when
12

you see a Wi-Fi signage in that area, you can just scan the QR code and your phone is
automatically connected directly without the need to put in the password and username.
Fresnido (n.d.) in her study revealed that technology greatly influences the style of
libraries do things. Some of the respondents assessed that the changing level of
technological development among group member libraries settled to be a main challenge
being faced by them today while the majority of the surveyed evaluated themselves to
be successful. Tt is obvious that there is lack of comparison between the consortia ' s
objectives and undertakings. All the selected respondents of library consortia in the
Philippines has the purpose to find out the experience and status of the selected
consortia. Definitely in terms of the objectives of the different consortia, the assistances
they have enjoyed or continue to enjoy, the activities they undertake and how such relate
to the set objectives, the issues they have encountered as well as failure/success
aspects experienced by libraries in joining the different consortia.
In this study explained that QR Code (n.d.) is very important specifically in the
business. The QR code were created in 1994 by a company called Denso Wave—the
technology arm of Denso Corporation which is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corp in
japan. But the QR code trend started in the year of 2002 when the code became
widespread among the general public in Japan. QR code is one of the answers to have
a security assistance in every business, monitored the data just-in-time as the inventory
management system required like checking the stock on time. It also making it essential
in many facets of people’s lives as smartphones spread this time.

12

According to the Awesome Inc. (2012) the use of smartphone helps the users to
print with any posters by downloading the QR scanning apps for their phone. The
Philippines is fastest growing smartphone market in SEA and some of the local
Philippines business started to use this to their advantage. Smartphones are cheap, just
some cost for printing. The QR code having the contact details can be printed onto flyers,
posters and business cards. This is the way to prove that technology like smartphones
with QR code helps the present businesses in the Philippines also to the other country.
In this study Balbuena (2013) stated that the use of Quick Response (QR) codes
for navigation and delivery of mobile robot and the custom of Raspberry Pi as the central
processing unit of the system can control the robot to navigate and deliver to a certain
location that is identified by the QR codes and stored in a database. The Raspberry Pi
functions to read the command and carries out the instructions of a Python-based
program, also decodes the QR codes and determines if there is a match between the
data sent by the web application and the scanned value through the use of cameras
connected to it. Overall, the Raspberry Pi and the scanned QR Code values, with the
use of a web application and sensor can read, control and dictate the mobile robot's
movement for navigation.
As stated by Lourdes (n.d.) of the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon
City, in developed countries where the computerized library system is a mature
technology, a computerized library network is perhaps no longer a novel project. In the
Philippines however, where the automated library system is available in only a handful
of libraries, the launching of the DOST-ESEP Library Network on November 22, 1995 is
a milestone in the history of librarianship in the country. It brought library automation

12

and networking in the Philippines to maturity. The network provided Filipino researchers
and librarians access to information located in libraries outside their own and provided
researches outside the Philippines with a venue to the information available in the
country.
According to EISI (n.d.), it indicates that they help Philippine libraries automate
using Follett Destiny Library Manager (DLM) with full support from their qualified library
automation specialist. Their librarians find a sure and easy route to convert the library
from a manual system into a fully automated, web-enabled resource that their patrons
will consider, and the institutions will be proud of. As a conclusion, the EISI offered a
systematic management of library resources with the use of databases and QR Code in
obtaining an innovative library system.
According to Witchurch (n.d.), QR codes are two-dimensional patterned graphics
that when read by mobile device, represent text and link to Internet content. Libraries
implementing QR codes should emphasis on completions that add value, educate
intended users, customize the code to reflect the school’s brand, are creative and track
usage because QR codes can represent so much data that have potential uses are
varied.
In this study, the Tiwari (2016) stated that QR code is a type of matrix bar code or
two-dimensional code that can store data information and designed to be read by
smartphones. It indicates that it was designed to accord its contents to be decrypted at
high speed. The admiration of QR codes is rising quickly all around the world. Today,
mobile phones with built-in camera are broadly used to acknowledge the QR codes.
12

The reasons for these violations can stem from ambiguous and volatile
requirements, inadequately specified design criteria, or a poor choice of construction and
verification and validation (V&V) techniques.
According to Anisimova and Zakirov (2016) in their research entitled “The
Development of a New Approach to the Energy Management System and the Estimation
of Its Efficiency on the Basis of the Consumer Quality Theory” explained that in
accordance to the study result, the examination of the information that has been
received due to the application of these techniques, its systematization and the
determination of the most significant spheres, with the regard of which further decisions
will be made, will be implemented by the use of the appropriate instruments.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary of Findings
From the presented data in the previous chapter, the following are the consolidated
findings. On the number of respondents, the employees of Quezon City Public Library
and people who often visits the said library using accidental sampling technique, having
100 persons.
1. Current State of the Library System of Quezon City Public Library
The current state of the existing library system of Quezon City Public Library is
still upgrading up till now. Employees in reference section have to entertain and
remind every patron to sign in manually in their log books. On the other hand, the
employees in the technical section of the said library presented their current system
to the researchers. The existing system is only capable of recording their acquired
books and making an inventory of all gathered materials. Quezon City Public Library
does not support automated processes on registering a patron and does not use their
system as a record of transactions inside the library especially on how patrons borrow
and return borrowed materials.
2. Respondent’sRespondents’ View on The Quezon City Public Library Proposed
Library Management System with the Implementation of QR Code Technology

12

The Quezon City Public Library personnel’s and user’s view on the proposed QR
Code Scanning technology in terms of:
On the area of (1) Efficiency, the measurement of weighted mean is 3.59 with a
corresponding verbal interpretation of “Important”. Ranking on the first place was the
system allow the users to search for a specific book titles and authors smoothly with
a mean score of 3.7. In terms of (2) Security, the total achieved mean score was 3.80
with a corresponding verbal interpretation of “Important”. Ranking first was the
system provides constrict security of the records in the library which gathered a mean
score of 3.86. The assessment on the (3) Satisfaction, the measurement of weighted
mean is 3.75 with a corresponding verbal interpretation of “Important”. The highest
gathered mean is 3.82 being the first rank which is the reasonable library
management system and use of QR codes. In terms of (4) Usefulness, the
measurement of weighted mean is 3.78 with a corresponding verbal interpretation of
“Important”. The highest computed mean is 3.86 being the first rank which is the
system provides convenient services to the public. When it comes to (5) Cost, the
measurement of weighted mean is 3.62 with a corresponding verbal interpretation of
“Important”. The highest computed mean is 3.85 being the first rank which is the
system offers free of cost for the users of the library. And lastly, on the area of (6)
Ease of Use, the measurement of weighted mean is 3.56 with corresponding verbal
interpretation of “Important”. The highest computed mean is 3.86 being the first rank
which is the system caters admins or personnel can have lighter jobs to manage.

Conclusion
From the enumerated summary of findings, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. Researchers found out through the interview that the existing system of Quezon
City Public Library is fully functional but does not support every major business
processes of the said organization. A library management system requires quite
some lot of major modules. These modules include acquisition, cataloguing,
inventory and disposal modules. Unfortunately, the existing system of the said
library does not have the acquisition module. For the library’s personnel manually
records all acquired materials. Besides, Quezon City Public Library also records
patrons’ visits physically. The personnel also have difficulty in monitoring the
analytics of library’s performance in service through number of patron visit.
Moreover, as discussed in Chapter 2, according to Kumar and Singh (2014), the
librarians usually encounter problems in managing the files of the library. They
sometimes encounter file lost, file damage, difficulty in searching through piles of
records, space consuming and also cost consuming. With this statement, the
researchers have come up a proposed solution which is to develop a management
system for managing library’s business processes with implementation of QR Code
Technology for efficiency purposes.
2. Researchers found out through survey the respondents’ view on the library
information system. In the overall result on tallied data, the respondents were fairly
and satisfied in the study. There are six (6) different categories:
12

In terms of Efficiency, the respondents found the library management system
efficiency important.
In terms of Security, the respondents found the library management system
security important.
In terms of Satisfaction, the respondents found the library management system
satisfaction important.
In terms of Usefulness, the respondents found the library management system
usefulness important.
In terms of Cost, the respondents found the library management system cost
important.
In terms of Ease of Use, the respondents found the library management system
ease of use important.
With these assessments, the researchers conclude that Quezon City Public
Library Personnel and Visitors wants a developed and improved Library
Management System.
Furthermore, as mentioned in Chapter 2, EISI offered a systematic
management of library resources with the use of databases and QR Code in
obtaining an innovative library system. Their librarians find a sure and easy route
to convert the library from a manual system into a fully automated, web-enabled
resource that their patrons will consider, and the institutions will be proud of.
12

Recommendation
In the light of the findings and conclusions the following are hereby recommended:
1. The Quezon City Public Library needs a systematic and automated management
system for their library processes because the storage and retrieval of data would
be a lot easier if the records are well kept and stored in one place, therefore, the
researchers highly recommend a database in a system for more precise and
accurate data.
2. The researchers highly recommend that the system to be develop should be user-
friendly and accessible for non-technical users specially for the visitors of the said
library.
3. The researchers highly recommend the users to have more knowledge about the
Library Management System with the implementation of QR Code Technology.
4. The researchers highly recommended to have a deeper exploration on researching
about Library Management System because due of lack of information gathered
and the researchers have relied only on the survey that has been supplied to the
respondents and the articles on the books and internet.
5. To the future researchers this research can serve as a guideline to establish and
draft your research, and if you choose a same topic make sure to focus on the
important features.
