Abstract EN
This paper investigated and analyzed the University of Khartoum Library System in terms of the operations and functions carried out in the three core sections of the library i.e.
the Acquisitions, the Cataloguing and classification, and the Reader Services (Circulation) Sections.
The purpose of the study was that the analysis would be used later as the basis for determining the specific functional requirements of a computer-based Integrated Library Management System (ILMS).
The author employed a number of techniques for the purpose of gathering information about the existing library system, including interviews, document analysis, and literature review.
The study used the Structured Systems Analysis Methodology (SSA) in analyzing the existing library system.
This method necessitated the decomposition of the system into smaller functional subsystems.
The study finally documented the results of the University of Khartoum Library System analysis by Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs).
