DOST Union Catalog

This contains the union catalog of the DOST ScINET-PHIL, a consortium of all the 21 libraries and information centers under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) including its 15 regional offices. The main objective of the catalog is to facilitate the research work both for professionals and students as well. The union catalog would save a lot of time and money for our library users. Any prospective library user need not go from one library to another in search of information materials. What he has to do is access the union catalog and check whether the material he needs is available or not, and if so in which library or information center.

The SciNet Integrated Libary Management System (SILMS) was customized from several existing ILMS to suit our requirements. Said system can handle both bibliographic and full-text contents of library and information materials including multimedia.
