UP iLib now copyrighted

 

UP Integrated Library System (OPAC module)

The UP iLib, UP’s campus-wide integrated library system, was issued a Certificate of Copyright Registration and Deposit by the NCCA of The National Library (the country’s copyright office) on 16 July 2008, with UPD University Librarian SALVACION M. ARLANTE and CHITO N. ANGELES, UPD Library’s Information Technology Officer as authorized agents. The granting of this copyright duly protects the iLib from abuse and infringement.

The UP Integrated Library System (iLib) is an in-house, web-based integrated library system using Open Source technologies. It was deployed last 09 June 2007 for pilot testing in the Diliman libraries and became fully operational last 11 February 2008. Read HERE to know more about the system. –CMAbrigo

 

All systems go for iLib in UP Diliman

The open source system UP iLib, which has been pilot-tested for quite a while, will finally be operational in all 33 college and unit libraries (CUs) of UP Diliman beginning Monday, 11 February 2008. An announcement is posted onto the UPD University Library website.

The new system requires all members of the University to have an activated UP Webmail account to enable a UP member to access his/her library account. Should a member encounter log-in problems in using the iLib, we advise him/her to please update his/her Webmail account at the UP Computer Center, UP Diliman. –CMAbrigo

 

 

UPD deploys iLib for pilot testing

The UP Integrated Library System (iLib) — an in-house, web-based integrated library system using Open Source technologies, was deployed last 09 June for pilot testing in the Diliman libraries.

The iLib is a system that integrates all library processes initially intended for the 33 unit libraries of UP Diliman. To know more about this project, see related article.

Training-workshops have been lined-up for all Library staff beginning June 13 to 15, 2007 at the Diliman Interactive Learning Center (DILC). –CMAbrigo for CNAngeles

 

IPN now up on the Web

The web-based version of the Index to Philippine Newspapers (IPN), U.P. Diliman Main Library’s index to nine locally published newspapers, is now available online for free access.

 

Dubbed as the Index to Philippine Newspapers Online, the database is an offshoot of an earlier IPN automation undertaking of the UPDML, which began in 1991. It was later on revived by Mr. CHITO N. ANGELES when he joined the Library in 2001. This venture likewise became his Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) thesis project and was finally completed in the last quarter of 2006.

 

In a lecture series held at the UP Institute of Library and Information Science (UPILIS) last February 14th, Mr. Angeles talked about how the project was conceived, has progressed, up until it has become fully operational. He then gave an overall demonstration of the IPN Online’s main features before his audience of information professionals, and entertained inquiries by way of a discussion forum which followed afterwards.

 

Angeles is currently the Information Technology Officer and Head of the Computer Services Section of the University Library, U.P. Diliman. He also teaches Information Technology (IT) courses, specializing in database design and web development, at the UPILIS.
