Authors: Husaini, Goshie, R.W. M.; Isiaka, C.
Abstract: Integrated Library systems (ILS) have become indispensable tools in the digital transformation of academic libraries,enabling institutions to manage core functions such as cataloguing, acquisition, and online access to resources.This review explores current practices and perspectives in the management of ILS for effective digital service delivery in university libraries. As the demand for seamless user-centered digital services continues to grow effective operation and integration of ILS have become crucial for ensuring timely access to knowledge, optimizing staff workflows and enhancing user experiences.The paper examines various types of ILS, including both proprietary and open-source platforms, and evaluate their roles in supporting digital services such as online public access catalogs (OPAC), remote authentication and e-resources management. It also review how university libraries have adopted different strategies to manage ILS, including vendor partnerships, cloud-based deployment, staff training, and interoperability with other digital platforms. Challenges such as budget constraints, lack of technical expertise, and system incompatibility are identified alongside best practices observed in institutions with successful institutions.The paper further discusses the relevance of theoretical models such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Information systems success models in understanding user satisfaction and system effectiveness. This review concludes by highlighting the need for continuous assessment, user feedback, and adaptive management strategies to ensure that ILS remains a valid tool in delivering high-quality digital library services in university settings2025-07-10T00:00:00ZManaging Integrated Library Systems (ILS) for Effective Digital Service Delivery in University Libraries: A Review of Current PracticesHusaini, Goshie, R.W.Isiaka, C.http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/302062026-01-09T12:50:24Z2025-07-10T00:00:00ZTitle: Managing Integrated Library Systems (ILS) for Effective Digital Service Delivery in University Libraries: A Review of Current Practices

Abstract: Integrated Library Systems (ILS) have become indispensable tools in the digital transformation of academic libraries, enabling institutions to mange core functions such as cataloguing, acquisitions, circulation and online access to resources. The review explores current practices and perspectives in the management of ILs for effective digital service delivery in university libraries. As the demand for seamless, user- centered digital services continuous to grow, effective operation and integration of ILs have become critical for ensuring timely access to knowledge, optimizing staff workflows, and enhancing user experiences. The paper examine various types of ILs including both propriety and open-source platforms, and evaluates their roles in supporting digital services such as Online Public Access Catalogs (OPAC), remote authentication, and e- resource management. It also reviews how university libraries have adopted different strategies to manage ILS, including vendor partnerships, cloud- based deployment, staff training and interoperability with other digital platforms. Challenges such as budget constraints, lack of technical expertise, and system compatibility are identified alongside best practices observed in institutions with successful implementations. The paper further discusses the the relevance of theoretical models such as Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Information Systems success model in understanding user satisfaction and system effectiveness.

Authors: MUSA, HUSSAINI; Abdullahi, A. P.
Abstract: The accelerating global emphasis on sustainability has led to the development of comprehensive taxonomies and standards such as the EU Green Taxonomy and ICMA Green Bond Principles, which aim to standardize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting and sustainable finance. This chapter explores the critical role of Library and Information Science (LIS) in supporting the adoption, implementation, and evolution of these global sustainability frameworks. Drawing on LIS expertise in taxonomy development, metadata alignment, knowledge organization, and digital preservation, it highlights how the field can enhance semantic interoperability, improve discoverability of ESG information, and ensure the long-term stewardship of sustain ability knowledge. Case studies from academic, government, and corporate contexts illustrate practical applications and challenges, including semantic gaps, resource limitations, and ethical considerations. The chapter concludes by outlining future directions, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, LIS-driven taxonomy innovation, and the profession’s responsibility in promoting sustainable knowledge ecosystems. This work advocates for increased LIS engagement in global sustainability efforts to support transparent, accessible, and effective ESG information management.
