Thus their existing heterogeneity in the adoption of technology particularly, library software for automating the activities of libraries was, there for it felt essential to understand, the status of library automation, the software used. Hence the topic of research �A Study of Effective Use of Integrated Library Software in Engineering College Libraries in Karnataka� undertaken by the researcher. Thesis presented in the six chapters, the researcher has given ten recommendations which would be helpful for the engineering libraries to provide better automated services to the user community. The researcher has made comprehensive study, it is deemed true that computer has revolutionized our society and helped us scale greater heights in the evolution cycle.
