Library software is a type of software that allows users to keep an organized catalog of media. These catalogs may include books, files, music, videos, images, software, or collections of information. Library software often includes tools that allow the user to organize and search through their catalogs and may be used for a wide variety of applications. For example, recording studios use library software to catalog their music while actual libraries use library software to catalog their books, cassettes, and other merchandise. This article will demonstrate the advantages of library software by listing a number of free library programs.
