  • Abstract:
  • Open source software offers users the freedom to run, copy, distribute study, modify, share, and improve the software for any purpose. For libraries, these systems eliminate the initial costs associated with commercial software and provide greater control over their operational environments. It is crucial for library professionals to understand the benefits of open source software and actively engage in its development and implementation. This discussion explores the criteria for selecting library management software and advocates for the adoption of open source options. The paper focuses on the features of Koha, pioneering open source library management software that has been rapidly adopted in India and worldwide. By evaluating Koha's advantages and disadvantages, the study also compares it with other open source software such as PMB, PhpMyLibrary, and OpenBiblio. The aim is to identify the standard features of integrated library management software through a review of related literature and practical experiences.
