Abstract: The traditional methods of managing libraries are no longer dynamic and efficient. For quick retrieval and dissemination of information and better service for the patrons, application of modern techniques has become essential. A fully computerized library will help its users with quick and prompt services. Automation process helps to restructure library functions and reinvents its services. The motive of this study is to explain how the authors successfully carried out the implementation of the Koha open source integrated library system (ILS) at The Panjab University, Ankur School Experience. This study broadly illustrates the requirements for implementing the Koha-ILS and how it can be successfully succeeded even with limited funding and staff crunch. This paper is based on experiences and facts collected before and during the implementation phase. It elaborates the basics and suggests steps toward successful implementation of ILS. This study is aimed to motivate and help the libraries and serve as a stepping stone that is in dare need to implement KOHA Library automation software.
