Mindanao State University General Santos City Thesis/Capstone Repository is a web application that will help registered users find relevant theses for their personal needs and to further raise and utilize the value of published academic research documents - universities, libraries, and other literature-based facilities opt to store these documents to physical shelves, storage units, and repositories.
The application can: browse, view, and download research documents. It is projected to extend the current functionality of the university's student portal and offer the institution members a proficient and direct way of uploading finished research and dissertations and the option to search and navigate through several Mindanao State University - General Santos City's certified intellectual assets.
The developers of the Institutional Thesis/Capstone Repository, Yrrej Dzun O. Deypalubos, Mary Christine Anne S. Habla, Christian Y. Jaena, Domerck Brigson C. Quiton, and Christoffer Keith A. Tito, seeks to create an exclusive virtual environment for the university, wherein the university members can now upload and take credit for their academic works to an online digital environment as digital materials. These digital materials have the potential to be the university's intellectual assets, a rather important element in intelligence gathering and distribution. Additionally, aside from creating a digital environment, the institutional repository will also aid the university in establishing a collaborative learning environment, which endorses the stored digital assets to be more accessible, visible, and valuable to other university members and associates.
The Thesis/Capstone Repository will not only create new learning environments and corporate information management for the academe but also heightens the impact of the archived resources indefinitely. The defended, concluded, and published academic research documents not only bring benefits to the authors but to the future scholars as well, serving as future references for their academic dissertations. Thus the significance of academic research documents is once again observed and continues to endure the passage of time, coming into a full circle, involving past, present, and future scholars interacting with the said academic assets.
