Simple and advanced search facilities are provided using this integrated framework for libraries. It shows the practical ideas and concepts of Koha to each module for designing and developing the full fledged library automation system. It is possible to course reserve on the basis of the subject instructor to provide the bibliographic and full text access facilities for the students as well as advanced learners. It enhances the facilities of OPAC and Web OPAC for different items available in the database. Multilingual and regional language search is possible using this technique. Bibliographic data export and import are also possible from one system to another (i.e heterogeneous to homogeneous; homogeneous to heterogeneous; homogeneous homogeneous). This integrated framework has given step by step instructions for creating innovative library services. It is very helpful and conducive to library professionals.
