This is about the feasibility of using an expert system in the cataloging of Filipiniana materials. A prototype expert system was developed and tested using 30 users as sample respondents. The study was conducted to determine whether or not a prototype expert system developed by the researcher, operationalized from existing expert systems with a knowledge base, can complement the existing skills of a cataloger in a particular field, such as Filipiniana materials, by speeding up the process of cataloging and the time can reference existing records with accuracy and correctness. It has more relevance in institutions that have a large inflow of materials like a library. Findings show that the prototype expert system met all the criteria and the standards to conclude that expert systems can be used to improve the task of cataloging. In some cases when the system was in error, the materials to be cataloged contained more complex cataloging information which were not contained in the knowledge base of the expert system. The problem of the inadequacy of the current knowledge base can easily be corrected by upgrading the knowledge base. The study recommends that in the long term, a stronger and more complete expert system with a more extensive knowledge base be developed for the purpose of cataloging Filipiniana materials.
