ABSTRACT
The purpose of HIET Integrated Library is to provide a medium for the college libraries to computerize their entire functioning and would contribute as a first step in digitalizing their libraries!
As till now in India, college libraries (medium and small scale) had their entire records on paper which again required maintenance and the problem of finding relevant information proved to be a herculean task. Even if the required information was found it was usually at cost of much valuable time.
HIET Integrated Library would not only simplify this process but also speedup the entire functioning of the library. It will also contribute towards increasing the efficiency of the library as a whole, right from the data entry to maintaining the historical records.
One major purpose is to provide user or the library members the opportunity to not only search through the books but to reserve books that are issued by other users and also request newer books.

HIET Integrated Library (HIL) aims at providing a complete solution for all the library requirements of Medium and small scale libraries. Presently we have few public libraries in the country with even few of them computerized but the number is sure to grow as the focus shifts more on education. It would be a great help to these libraries if there is a software available that would help them with their day to day tasks.
HIL would not only help the librarian in the mundane tasks of the library but will be providing the scope to add newer user groups like data entry assistants etc. and also newer user groups depending on their subscriptions.
The feature of recording and retrieving user and book history details is going to throw some very interesting results regarding the books most popular among the users and also their favourite genre according to age group etc.
