The document introduces the Total Library Solution (TLS) by Ata Ur Rehman, detailing various software components like Integrated Library Systems (ILS), Digital Library Systems, and Content Management Systems. It emphasizes the use of Linux-based operating systems and includes examples of school management software such as Koha and DSpace. Additionally, it discusses the architecture and features of Koha, highlighting its web-based functionalities and compliance with library standards.

- 6. INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM - ILS An integrated library system (ILS), also known as a library management system (LMS), is an enterprise resource planning system for a library, used to track items owned, orders made, bills paid, and patrons who have borrowed. An ILS usually comprises a relational database, software to interact with that database, and two graphical user interfaces (one for patrons, one for staff). Most ILSes separate software functions into discrete programs called modules, each of them integrated with a unified interface. Examples of modules might include:
