Abstract
Koha is an open-source integrated library system (ILS) used for managing library functions. However, it is observed that Koha has not been fully utilised to carry out library operations by university libraries in the southwest, Nigeria. Therefore, this study examined the use of Koha ILS in public university libraries in southwest, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey. Twelve public university libraries in Southwest Nigeria where Koha was in use were used. All the 264 library personnel were enumerated. Self-designed instruments were used to collect data. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Cataloguing 181(76.4%), circulation 175 (73.8%) and OPAC modules 161(67.9%) were used to search online catalogues (x̅ = 3.43) and register library patrons (x̅ = 3.40) among others. The study suggests that public universities in Southwest Nigeria should provide support and funding to library management to address challenges like inadequate power supply, high and maintenance costs among others.
