Fresnido. 2000. xv, 141 leaves Thesis (M.L.S.)--University of the Philippines, Diliman Vita. Results of the study revealed the following: (1) the import/export module of the T-series needs an upgrade; (2) the OPAC and serials modules failed in terms of functionality; (3) in terms of performance, the system as a whole received good marks; (4) access to individual member libraries' OPAC either by member or non-member libraries is not being maximized; (5) connectivity still poses a problem; and (6) document delivery service has not been very popular and successful among member libraries. Survey questionnaires were used to evaluate of the system. The respondents included students, faculty members and library personnel from the eight member libraries of the DOST-ESEP Library Network. For the access part, non-member libraries in Metro-Manila linked to Phnet and other Internet Service Providers were also included in the survey. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the T-series integrated library system considering the purposes for evaluation set by Peters which are functionality and performance (Lancaster 1997); and (2) to determine the effectiveness of the networking component of the DOST-ESEP Library Network Project, specifically in terms of access and document delivery.
