integrated library system

An integrated library system (ILS) is a digital management platform that helps libraries organize, track, and lend their collections efficiently. It combines functions like cataloging books, managing user accounts, checking items in and out, and handling reservations into one unified system. This integration streamlines library operations, improves access to resources, and enhances user experience by providing quick, centralized information. Essentially, it’s the digital backbone that allows libraries to efficiently serve their patrons and maintain their collections effectively.
