Library management system (LMS) it is an enterprise resource planning system for the library, used to
track items owned, orders made, bills paid, patrons who have barrowed, document searches on various
fields like Author, Title, Year of Publication, Publisher and many more.

user interfaces (patrons & staff). Most of the ILS/LMSs separate software functions intro discrete programs

Acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials).
Technical Processing or Cataloguing (classifying and indexing of materials).
Circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving back)
Serial Management (Journals).
MIS Reports (Backend Reports)
OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog/Public User Interface)
