Library Information and
Management System (LIMS)
Library Information and Management System (LIMS),
a unique library system, has been designed,
developed, implemented and fully tested by library
professionals. This is the first software which the
Group is not only distributing free of cost but also
provides its training and support through messenger,
email, phone or visits to the libraries. LIMS is being
used in more than 50 libraries, of every type, i.e.,
academic, special, and public libraries not only in
Pakistan but also in Middle East.

Some very prestigious Pakistani educational
institutions are using LIMS and a team of group
members provide support and training locally in
Islamabad, Punjab and NWFP. Web OPAC for
LIMS, www.paklag.org/nulhr , has been tested and
will be distributed among the users of LIMS free of
cost.
