Abstract:

This research investigates the implementation and benefits of a Multiple Library Management System (MLMS) in enhancing resource sharing and operational efficiency across a network of libraries. Traditional library management systems often operate in silos, hindering access to collective resources and creating redundant workflows. This study examines the key functionalities of an MLMS, including centralized cataloging, a unified search interface (union catalog), and streamlined interlibrary loan processes. Through a case study analysis of Assam University Library management system, this research demonstrates how an MLMS improves resource discovery, reduces costs associated with duplicated efforts, and ultimately enhances the user experience by providing seamless access to a wider range of materials. The findings highlight the critical role of MLMS in optimizing library services in the digital age.
