In this paper, an e-library application has been designed and implemented which can be easily improved to meet the requirement of the institution. Most of the available e-libraries are not available for free and they need connection to the internet. Therefore, a huge number of electronic resources have been generated by instructors which highlights the necessity for implementing e-libraries that can be adaptive to the institutional uses. Because of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in the last years, most educational institutions depended on the e-learning and blended learning to help the students to continue the way that they have started to get knowledge and degrees. Over the years, the digital libraries and e-libraries have been implemented as tools for facilitating the method of organizing and saving the electronic resources such as e-journals, papers, lectures, videos, e-books, …, etc. The rapid growth of electronic resources and the e-learning technology brings the necessity for implementing an application that can organize the digital resources in a good manner so they can be easily found and retrieved. The digital Library developed demonstrated a speedy and organized access to books, journals, videos and other information in an efficient manner. ![]() However, XAMPP (Cross-Platform Apache MariaDB, PHP and Perl) server was used for local web server testing and deployment. The latter language was chosen because of its flexibility and features for developing online based applications. ![]() Hypertext Pre-Processor (PHP) was used as server side programming language and MySqli (My Structural Query Language Improved) used as relational database. A local area network was setup and the program was implemented using hypertext markup language, cascading style sheet and Java Script for user interface. This article presents the design and implementation of an integrated networked digital library (INDL) in an academic environment. However, the development of academic digital library in Nigeria is an ongoing process with various challenges that require further investigation. A digital library is a compilation of library materials in digital form in order to enhance quick access to library information. The recent trend in internet, ICT and library technology, digitization of libraries, which usually make available some facilities for accessing and retrieving library information within the shortest period, is now becoming popular in higher institutions of learning in Nigeria. ![]() However, users' direct interaction with the library, physically going to the library, searching for certain information and taking the hard copy of the information out of the library are slowly becoming past history with the introduction of library technology (AL-Juboori, 2014). In recent times, the trend of library automation which started in the 1960s in USA has been spreading all over the world (AL-Juboori, 2014).In library context or term, digital libraries may be viewed as a library system where technical services are performed electronically with an entirely electronic application (Gani & Magoi, 2014). A library can be seen as a body of recorded information (in various formats) which can be selected, organized, retrieved, disseminated or made available to users in need of it (Iwasokun & Akinyokun, 2013).The objective of library in an higher institution of learning is to support academic activities in that community and to achieve this, academic libraries are mostly designed to meet learning, teaching and research needs of the users, by providing services that can lead to an increase in students, teachers and researchers productivity (Gani & Magoi, 2014). ![]()
