Now library and information centres are turning into the digital mechanism. Materials acquired by the libraries are also changing its forms to suit the modern mechanism. But a library is not a library if it is not functioning as the easy search and retrieval with the proper managing of resources.

A tool which turns every in-house operations of libraries into an automated system like; acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, serials, OPAC, reports, administration etc. Koha is a fully featured, scalable, open source ILMS adopted by different types of libraries worldwide (Adamson, 2008). 2 Objectives of the Study The objectives of the present study are as follows-  To look at the existing tools for resource management and the need for new tool
