Abstract - It is imperative to mechanize library administrations and utilize open-source programming to accomplish productivity and adequacy while likewise limiting expenses. The robotization of the library is helpful to both the staff and the clients of the library since it reduces how much pressure the staff has at work and further develops how much data can be given to clients from a distance sooner rather than later. The essential goal of this assessment paper depended on the writing was to show the meaning of involving open-source programming in the computerization of libraries. To achieve this goal, the paper was separated into subheadings that, all together, featured the meaning of the library mechanization, illustrated the main variables to consider while choosing library programming talked about the characteristics of open-source programming that make it appropriate for library robotization, and listed and momentarily examined the different open-source programming programs that are accessible for the coordinated library of the executives. The article likewise remembers suggestions for the significant factors that ought to be addressed to achieve effective computerization of library administrations utilizing open-source programming. These proposals address the principal factors that ought to be focused on.
