The Integrated Library Management System (ILMS): a core component in the fusion of e-learning and e-knowledge

Abstract

This paper focuses on the need for educational enterprise technology infrastructures and processes to develop the integration between the various "e-services". It examines in particular the role that the ILMS could play in such an environment. The recent and rapid evolution in the past few years of libraries, ILMS vendors and integrated library systems themselves now presents some interesting challenges -- and opportunities.
