Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The scenario of the library administration has vastly changed in India from personnel centric approach to software-based approach. Now almost all functions of the library administration in India including human resource management in libraries are being performed through the library software. A rational data-based analysis of performance can be easily analyzed through the library software. UNESCO’s contributions to upgradation of library software conducive in Indian conditions but it remains confined only in libraries of UNESCO in India. Although, there are many library software in India like LibSys, KOHA, e-Granthalaya, WINISIS, SOUL, DSpace etc., yet most of them have been work specific. Here the real concern is that even after being informed the manufacturer of Windows operating system, they do not file a case upon the organization/ institutions to check the unauthorized use of the operating systems. They do not even take any action to defaulter different government organizations. In such situation, it becomes urgent imperative to explore the ways in which UNESCO’s WINISIS software are brought in comprehensive use in Indian libraries. Thus, the present study tries to throw light on the issues in the garb of Library Administration theoretical frame work. – Reproduced
