dc.descriptionJournal Article on Integrated library system (ILS): An option for library and information management — A review of koha ILS at Babcock University library, Nigeria.
dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this paper was to review the capability of an integrated library system (ILS) as an option for managing library information resources, using Koha ILS at Babcock University as a case study. The paper reviewed the functions and performance of Koha ILS, and personal experiences of librarians and the technical staff at Babcock University Library. The review exposed the potency of ILS in library management. It portrays Koha as a constant system in managing library operations and services. This was evident as the system has engendered adequate and quality services to library users at Babcock University without hitches. The review only focused on Koha ILS implemented at Babcock University. It revealed the benefits and strengths of ILS to library performance. This review was important because it encourages libraries to implement feasible systems to improve services for library users. Koha ILS has revolutionized library operations and services at Babcock University Library. The implementation has drawn the attention of libraries in need of implementing ILS at their libraries to understudy the system. This review provided a template for libraries to learn from and implement. Koha ILS is appealing to library users of this generation because it is user-friendly with built-in social networking features compatible with other electronic information systems. It is expected that the experiences shared in this work would motivate other libraries to implement a viable ILS like Koha for effective service delivery to library users.
