Background of the Study
Library Management Systems (LMS) have become essential tools for managing library resources, circulation, and user access in academic institutions. In Federal College of Education, Zaria, the existing LMS may not fully support the growing needs of students and faculty. Challenges such as inefficient resource management, slow cataloging systems, and inadequate integration with other institutional systems hinder the library’s overall performance (Ogunleye & Olayemi, 2023). Optimizing the LMS can enhance its functionality, improve resource accessibility, and streamline library operations. This study aims to explore strategies for optimizing the library management system at the Federal College of Education, Zaria, to better serve the academic community.
