Purpose A case study of the Wales Higher Education Libraries Forum (WHELF) project to procure and implement a shared library management system (LMS) for all universities in Wales, together with the National Health Service Libraries in Wales and the National Library of Wales. In particular, the purpose of this paper is to explore the drivers to this collaboration, outline the benefits achieved and the framework to realise further benefits. Design/methodology/approach Case study review of the process, together with a review of literature on consortia and LMSs. Findings WHELF has developed into a more mature consortium through procuring and implementing a shared LMS. The process has delivered tangible benefits and is driving more work to realise further benefits. Research limitations/implications As the WHELF Shared LMS project is only nearing the end of the implementation phase, many of the anticipated operational benefits cannot be reported. Practical implications Useful case study for other consortia or potential consortia. Originality/value WHELF is in vanguard of consortia developments in the UK, and this is the first case study of the project.

<p>Technology is rapidly develop in various aspects of life, especially in the field of education In the world of education, technological developments are applied to the use of library information systems. Nowadays many developers have offered the system for free, one of them is TeknoLIB and SLiMS. This study aims to measure the quality of a library information system using TeknoLIB (Library Management System) and SLiMS (Senayan Library Management System) based on ISO 9126 standards. This study uses 4 research methods, among others: questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was obtained by grouping data from experiment result and personal observation, direct answer to resource person, giving some statement with informant consent, and giving conclusion related to library information system.It can be used as a reference for developers in building a library information system to be able to create a better system. The results of this study indicate that Information Library System TeknoLIB is more qualified in terms of system look compared to SLiMS based on ISO 9126 standards.</p>

Cloud computing is a high-tech developed rapidly relatively in recent years, you can take advantage of cloud computing to share the storage space and computing power on the network, then allocate and use it according to the users demands to prevent the waste of resources but to get fully utilized. The data generated from library is also growing rapidly, so that universities need a management system which can manage a large-scale data to manage its data library. Generation of cloud computing is bound to lead to the change of library management system structure, there will be more and more university libraries try to use cloud computing to improve library network information management and service levels, and to reduce management and service costs. And cloud computing university library to solve the problem at this stage has become an inevitable trend, but universities still need to constantly research and practice before the trial.

Between Senayan Library Management System or usually called SLiMS and e-DDC (electronic Dewey Decimal Classification) now is the most popular library application software which has a lot of user, because it is simple to use, has an updating guarantee from its developers and off course both of them are free of charge. Although SLiMS and e-DDC are different application at all, as practically they are recommended to be used togather for library management. SLiMS is used for library automation and e-DDC is to find collection’s classification. Many users of SLiMS and e-DDC ever give suggestions about developing SLiMS with e-DDC include in its database, and then librarians will be easier to manage their libraries. Because of that suggestion, finally a plugin as an additional application for SLiMS has been created and developed. That plugin was build with PHP language programming and MySQL database. The purpose of this paper is to enrich about reference of development of library application, especially those based on Free Open Source Software (FOSS). This paper use Research and Development Methods. And the result of this paper is Plugin e-DDC for SLiMS which has released on May, 2nd 2015, in order to celebrate “National Education Day”.
