The growing dependence on digital technology has considerably affected the modernization of traditional systems. This paper discusses the development of a mobile-based library information system named LiBile. The system aims to improve the accessibility, efficiency, and involvement of users in library services. Traditional library information systems usually employ manual approaches and desktop applications. This has limited their accessibility and increased the risk of errors and time consumption. LiBile aims to overcome these limitations by offering a mobile-based system that allows users to access library services anywhere and at any time. The system allows users to search for books, check availability, borrow and return books, and receive timely updates on due dates and other information. Additionally, it offers efficient services to librarians for managing books, transactions, and users. The system employs a cloud-based database to ensure real-time data synchronization. It also includes a user-friendly interface to facilitate both users and librarians. The process of developing LiBile involves a systematic approach to system development, which includes requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The results have shown improvements in terms of efficiency, human effort, and user satisfaction compared to traditional systems. LiBile offers a viable solution for modern libraries through the use of mobile technology and real-time data management. The system not only provides quality service to users but also meets the growing trend of digitalization within institutions.
