Abstract

The study is about using a database management system as a tool for sharing information resources with university libraries. The beauty of being able to efficiently convey information services to users at the right time and in the correct format can be inferred from the effectiveness of library services. The purpose of this work was to explore data, database, database management systems, academic library, and resource sharing. The paper provided a brief history of database management systems' development stages, as well as the reasons for their introduction into the librarianship profession, the benefits derived from their application, the components of database management systems, the areas in librarianship where database management systems can be applied, and two specific methods with which database management systems can be applied.

 

Keywords: Database, Academic Libraries, Database Management System and Information Sharing.
