7 Key features of an integrated library system
An integrated library management system, or “ILS” for short is an electronic program that help librarians and users to circulate and catalogue items, manage patron activity, track item movement as well as interact with databases from other libraries or institutions, amongst other functions. An ILS is meant to increase the output and efficiency of a library, and improve access to resources for its patrons, by automating the processes that would otherwise have been done manually.
