Will There Be A Change in the Library Policies Soon?

By Anonymous
The Institute Library of Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology is yet to embrace a change of its Library Management Software.

 Last June, the Institute Library staff joined a seminar/training for Follett Destiny Library Software. The new software will replace MAELISA, the existing library software, soon. Follett Destiny Library Manager is an easy-to-use, web-based library automation and management solution. It combines circulation, cataloging, searching, reporting and management in one centrally installed library software. Students, faculty and staff can access the system through any workstation with a supported web browser. It also has apps for android and iOS phones thus library patrons can access the system anywhere they are (*internet connection is required).


The new library system will make use of the barcode of the institute identification cards instead of the old borrower’s card. This revision of procedures will require further analysis because it may come in conflict with the old library policies.


The new library management software, however, will still be under observation as it needs to work jointly with the institute’s online service.


It may take some time for the whole new library management software to be working fully and flawlessly but it will be a great improvement to the whole library system and experience not only to the library staff but to all library patrons.

College of Education Renovation Report

By Anonymous
On May 15, 2017, the College of Education Library opens its door to library patrons with its new arrangement. The circulation desk is now strategically situated near the entrance right in front of the online user registration system, Library Usage Log. Before, the circulation desk was situated in the center of the library right after the reading area. The problem that this arrangement imposes is that students who come inside the library most of the time disregard the Library Usage Log. This results in inaccurate library statistics of library usage every day which will then reflect to the satellite library’s report on library users.   CED Library Reading Area before the renovation Also, students are not properly monitored in the old arrangement. Most of them bring in food and drinks which are prohibited to avoid pests and insects inhabiting the library. This problem also adds inconvenience to the library staff and the scheduled cleaners because most students leave their ...
