Abstract
A crucial piece of software known as an operating system (OS) manages and controls a computer system's software and hardware resources. It allows users to interact effectively with the system and run applications because it links them and the computer hardware. Operating systems support various information management and service functions in academic libraries. The library's computer systems are built on an operating system, which makes it easier to access information, manage library resources more effectively, and provide a better user experience. Academic libraries can improve their services, streamline their operations, and create an ideal environment for learning, research, and information access by effectively utilizing operating systems. Academic libraries use a variety of operating systems, each with its own set of requirements and infrastructure. Academic libraries may choose different operating systems depending on several factors, including the institution's budget, hardware infrastructure, and IT expertise. This book chapter deals with operating systems and their advantages for the overall functioning of academic libraries.
