AN INVESTIGATION OF LIBRARY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM , AND ITS STATUS IN ENGINEERING COLLEGES AFFILIATED TO ANNA UNIVERSITY IN CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT

Abstract

The location of libraries, and specifically the integration of technology and libraries, is greatly influenced by the development and advancement of information and communication technology (ICT). The current article illustrates the status and challenges surrounding library integration at college libraries connected to Anna College in the Chengalpattu area. In the amended check, it is stated unequivocally that 92.50% of the libraries in the Chengalpattu district are automated. Additionally, there are currently some underlying concerns that are not automatic, such as a lack of infrastructure, limited funding, a shortage of staff, and the absence of human education in libraries. Additionally, it provides a status view of the software packages that libraries and modules use. This study focuses specifically on the issues that arise during the adoption and use of library integration software systems, including their accessibility, suitability, and challenges.
