Author(s): Gurdev Yadav & Dr. Hemlata
Abstract - This study aimed to demonstrate the potential and capabilities of LMS software (Koha) and its practical significance for academic libraries worldwide by examining its implementation in the Tagore Library of Chitkara University Himachal Pradesh using an open-source system. The library's automation lowers staff's employment stress levels and improves prompt and distant delivery of current information to users, which benefits both patrons. It was discovered that an increasing number of libraries in India and other countries have shifted to using free and open-source software. Chitkara University Himachal Pradesh's libraries are automated and equipped with a wireless network. Web OPAC (www.opac.chitkarauniversity.edu.in) allows users to search library collections by author, title, subject, publisher, class number, words in the title, and Boolean search operators. This study aims to outline the goal of creating a bibliographic database that will be used to automate circulation procedures at Tagore Library Chitkara University Himachal Pradesh. From this vantage point, Koha can be considered a helpful database construction and information retrieval program.
