Thammarat Phanphai, Phitsanu Jaikla, Chaiyasit Angkapunyadech — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The practice of reserving seats for reading is common in university library spaces, especially during high-demand exam periods. Pre-booked seats go unused at these times and other library visitors cannot be accommodated upon arrival, negatively affecting reading space availability and user satisfaction. To address this issue, the Thammasat University library adopted the Design Thinking Process as an instrument to develop a seating reservation system to optimize shared space usage. The system includes processes for checking seat availability and reservations, user confirmation, and reservation cancellation. It aligns with user behavior, boosting confidence that seats will be available if specific rules and guidelines are followed. This approach helps the library manage seat usage effectively and reduces user complaints, enhancing overall satisfaction with the library experience. In a survey, users expressed an 81.09% satisfaction rate with the reserved seat reading system.

Enhancing Library User Query Response Efficiency through AI Chatbot Development using Dialogflow Tools

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Khon Kaen University Library has implemented an automated question-and-answer system using the Dialogflow tool through the LINE Chatbot application. The KKU Library Chatbot has been used since November 2565 and has recorded statistics from November 2565 to August 2566, totaling 9 months. During this period, there were a total of 2,485 user interactions, averaging 276 interactions per month. Additionally, user satisfaction was evaluated to improve the LINE Official service to better meet user needs. The results from using the KKU Library Chatbot as a replacement for human operators in answering questions through the LINE Official channel showed a significant reduction in the number of human operators. Previously, there were 2 operators working 8 hours per day, but with the implementation of the 100% automated chatbot system, only 3 hours per month were needed for data verification and monitoring. Furthermore, comparing the number of answers provided by human operators via LINE with those provided by the chatbot in the same month of two different years (2022 and 2023), it was found that the chatbot provided three times more answers than the human operators. This demonstrates that the AI Chatbot can effectively replace human operators, assisting in answering repetitive questions continuously for 24 hours. These findings are consistent with the overall user satisfaction rating of 89.7% for the KKU Library Chatbot service.

Rakphao Theppan, Saovanee Kanta — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The Learning Resources and Educational Media Centre, Mae Fah Luang University, has implemented an environmental management system in compliance with the ISO 14001: 2015 standard. This initiative requires an effective document management system to ensure comprehensive storage of documents related to environmental management. The system is designed to facilitate systematic document management and control at every stage, allowing staff to access the required documents conveniently and quickly. This ensures that the obtained documents are consistently under control. In response to this requirement, the team has developed the "MFU Smart ISO" document management system. The system utilizes open source programming tools, incorporating the .NET Core framework for the Backend, MySQL for the database, and Angular Framework for the Frontend. The team has researched similar commercially available systems and customized the requirements and capabilities for the developed system. The in-house development of the system allows the team to align the design with the organization operations. The user interface can be tailored to meet the operational needs of the staff, facilitating document management for quick and efficient access. The study, which compared the developed document control system with commercially available systems, revealed that the developed system can manage and control documents with essential features relatively comprehensively. As a result, the Learning Resources and Educational Media Centre has been awarded ISO 14001: 2015 certification by assessment editors for the presentation of digital documents stored in the MFU Smart ISO system, which markedly reduces the reliance on paper resources for document printing. Furthermore, there are expectations that the developed document control system will be used in the future to support the establishment of a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001: 2015 standards.

Apiyos Rienvipattana, Pensupa Kaewpitthayaporn, Sompop Nu-on — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Enhancing Information Management by automating data integration between Ethesis and Integrated Library System of Kasetsart University Library aimed to develop a system that automatically synchronizes data between Ethesis and Integrated Library System. This would enhance the efficiency of information resource management. Data integration of Ethesis with Integrated Library System involved study, analysis, design, and development of the system using Python3 programming language to automatically integrate the data. Testing the program with data 1,905 records from the DSpace repository from 2020 to 2023 revealed accurate integration results and a batch recording process could be used instead of individual entries to reduce the number of entries in the data. System development problems were observed in recording data in MARC21 format. DSpace repository data were not always accurate and complete. This led to errors in the data transformation process. In addition, once the data had been automatically recorded into Integrated Library System, they were immediately published in the WebOPAC without undergoing verification from staff. There should be an automatic addition of a "Suppressed" status to the data that have been recorded into Integrated Library System. This will enable staff to review the data before it is available to public. Furthermore, Ethesis was developed using DSpace version 5.4. Upgrading the version is recommended since there have been advancements in development up to version 7.6.
