Abstract

Academic libraries in Ghana have adopted integrated library management systems (ILMS) to enhance efficiency and to deliver electronic service which is the current trend in the 21st Century. This study investigated the extent of use of ILMS using a qualitative approach in nine academic libraries in Ghana. Findings revealed that all the libraries studied adopted ILMS as individual libraries but are not making optimum use of the ILMS and also there is a general shift towards open-source ILMS with Koha as the preferred choice. The study recommended collaborative approach in the adoption of ILMS with adequate attention to training.
