INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM - ILS
An integrated library system (ILS), also known as a
library management system (LMS), is an enterprise
resource planning system for a library, used to track
items owned, orders made, bills paid, and patrons who
have borrowed.
An ILS usually comprises a relational database,
software to interact with that database, and two
graphical user interfaces (one for patrons, one for staff).
Most ILSes separate software functions into discrete
programs called modules, each of them integrated with
a unified interface. Examples of modules might include:
CONT…
Acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and
invoicing materials)
Cataloging (classifying and indexing
materials)
Circulation (lending materials to patrons and
receiving them back)
Serials (tracking magazine and newspaper
holdings)
OPAC (public interface for users)
