The article focuses on the role of the library management system in providing efficient and effective library services. A standard quality service of a library must be based on the management of the catalogue and physical condition. The core business and service model such as Acquire, Catalogue, and Circulate are significant in running a library or an archive. However, this model must evolve from acquiring, cataloguing, and circulating physical collections to synthesizing, specializing, and mobilizing web-based services. Synthesizing plays as a key factor in the increasing number of services because a library could be arranged into a cohesive user-centered environment.
