Systems Upgraded!

The St. Thomas of Villanova Library is committed to provide effective, efficient and user-initiated services to its different stakeholders especially to the students, with the aid of technology to ensure quick and easy access.

The library has recently undergone an enhancement of the current library system to automation. The migration of data to Koha system, bar coding of library materials, OPAC access, RFID tagging, installation of UH Frequency Door Detector, Circulation automation process, inventory system, and Web library services evaluation were among the improvements that were made.

The dry run for the newly automated and improved services was held last first semester and the full implementation was held this second semester.


Furthermore, the library has subscribed to foreign journals, MyLegal Whiz and Heinonline, and Press Reader in order to provide students, faculty and the community with quality and updated educational sources of information in the most cost-effective and accessible format.
