The automated thesis and special project books record keeping and circulation system college of computer studies 2009 This study aimed to design and develop an automated record keeping and circulation system for various thesis and special projects book in the College of Computer Studies (CCS), La Salle University, Oxzamis City in order to improve the office productivity and managerial processes in the College. The primary respondents of the study were the CCS secretary and her student assistants who identified the record keeping process, circulation processes, and the organizing procedures of the CCS thesis and special projects. Also, other data of this investigation were also obtained from the forty two (42) BSCS - 4 students and seventy five (75) BSCS - 3 students and nine (9) CCS faculty who served as thesis advisors. The respondents were also asked about the automated system feature that they like to be implemented. The result of the investigation of the existing practices of the College is that it still uses the traditional and manual type of filing the Thesis and Special Project Books. Books were arranged in no definite order. They are on shelves filed in no particular arrangement neither by the author, by date it is done nor by title sorts. The books were not also properly labeled accordingly due to none standard filing procedures employed. Furthermore, the respondents admitted that the College has no proper logs and inventory procedure so that it is hard to trace and locate thesis and special project books. The College also encountered problems such as torn, lost or misplaced books On the other hand, borrowing procedures of the Thesis and Special Project Books in the College of Computer Studies are done but with no guidelines and regulations. Since there is no standard procedure, students are able to borrow books without liability. As a whole, there is no standard filing procedures and process employed in the College of Computer Studies as drawn by the respondents. This situation is a burden to students and the College. It is in this light that the researchers pursued this study. It is hoped that the implementation of this study will help improve the College of Computer Studies.
