Development and Evaluation of the Quality of an Information System for Traditional Textiles in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province

2026-06-15T11:22:31+07:00

Purpose: To develop an information system for traditional textiles in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and to evaluate its quality and user satisfaction.

Methodology: This research utilizes a Research and Development (R&D) model to develop an information system for managing traditional textile data in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The system is developed as a web application using PHP and a MySQL database, employing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process, which comprises four steps: 1) System requirements analysis, 2) System design, 3) System development, and 4) System testing. System quality evaluation is based on the ISO/IEC 25010 international standard. The participants consisted of five information technology experts who evaluated the system quality, and 40 general users who evaluated their satisfaction with the system.

Finding: The development of an information system for traditional textiles in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province resulted in a web-based system capable of managing data on indigenous fabrics and allowing users to easily search for related information on indigenous fabric products in a user-friendly format. The system quality evaluation showed that functional suitability yielded the highest rating (=4.72, S.D.=0.49). The performance efficiency also yielded the highest rating (=4.60, S.D.=0.53), indicating a very good level of performance. The security yielded a high rating (=4.50, S.D.=0.55). The reliability also yielded positive results, at the highest level (=4.54, S.D.=0.55), while system usability were at a high level (= 4.34, S.D. = 0.66). In terms of user satisfaction (usability), the evaluation results were at a high level (= 4.35, S.D. = 0.66).

Applications of this study: This developed information system can be applied to manage other types of local wisdom for conservation purposes, such as niello ware, rattan products, and shadow puppetry. It can also be used to manage local wisdom data from other provinces.

Enhancing Information Literacy through the Integration of Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom

2026-05-12T16:33:36+07:00

This article studies the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information Literacy in the context of higher education. It examines relevant literature and classroom activities at Thaksin University, using the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) framework as the basis for analysis and learning design. The article addresses several key issues, including the transformation of learning in the AI era; the concept of AI literacy and its relationship with information literacy, ethical considerations in AI use; and the application of AI in course 0106234. In particular, it highlights a book review writing activity designed to develop students’ information literacy skills alongside their critical use of AI. The activity emphasizes information retrieval, information evaluation, prompt design, and critical thinking. Furthermore, the article analyzes the alignment between the learning activities and the six aspects of the ACRL Framework to demonstrate the potential of AI in supporting deep learning. A key strength of the article is its presentation of the concept of "AI-mediated Information Literacy," emphasizing that learners should not only use AI as a tool but also be able to control, monitor, and utilize technology ethically and responsibly. This approach provides an important foundation for developing learners and the librarian profession to thrive in a sustainable knowledge-based society in the digital age.

Design of Data Structure, Classification, and Metadata for IT Repair Service Information

2026-05-05T13:20:32+07:00

Purpose: This study aims to design a systematic data structure, classification, and metadata for IT repair service information. The goal is to support the organization, retrieval, and presentation of repair shop information in areas surrounding Khon Kaen University and nearby communities. The study focuses on improving the accessibility, clarity, and usability of service information for users.

Methodology: This study employs a survey research method using online questionnaires distributed via Google Forms to collect data from users in the study area. It also applies literature review and international standards, including ISIC Rev.4 for classification, Dublin Core and Schema.org for metadata design. Figma was used for interface design, and a prototype website was subsequently developed.

Findings: The findings indicate that users require complete and accessible information, including service types, pricing, reviews, and location. The designed data structure includes shop, service, device, and metadata components aligned with user needs. The classification system improves search and comparison functions, while the overall structure supports efficient information retrieval and usability.

Applications of this study: This study can be applied to the development of information systems and service platforms, especially for local service businesses such as IT repair shops and small enterprises. It also provides guidelines for data structure, classification, and metadata design in information science, web development, and digital service platforms in urban and community contexts.

The Development of a Self-Service Book Renewal System Using a Web-Based Application for the Creativity and Learning Room, College of Arts, Media and Technology, Chiang Mai University

2026-03-06T15:23:20+07:00

Purpose: 1) To develop a web-based self-service book renewal system to reduce redundant work steps. 2) To evaluate user satisfaction with the web-based self-service book renewal system of the Creativity and Learning Room.

Methodology: The researchers developed the system by applying Lean concepts to reduce unnecessary steps in conjunction with the five-step system development life cycle (SDLC): (1) user requirements analysis, (2) system design, (3) system development, (4) system testing, and (5) system maintenance. The study was conducted with a population of 541 people and a sample of 230 participants (teachers, staff, and students). Descriptive statistics, including percentages, means (), and standard deviations (S.D.), were used to analyze the data.

Findings: This self-service book renewal system allows users to renew loans and calculate fines themselves. By applying Lean principles, the process was reduced from six steps to three, decreasing staff workload by over 90% and eliminating data errors. Overall user satisfaction was high ( = 4.18, S.D. = 0.79).

Applications of this study: The study's results can serve as a model for developing a self-service book renewal information system for specialized libraries and learning centers. By integrating LEAN concepts into work processes, redundant steps can be eliminated, thereby increasing the efficiency of information resource management and reducing personnel workload.
