Drawing praxis from Bowen University, Nigeria and other libraries worldwide, the chapter unveils the limitless capabilities of Koha ILS to successfully manage core library house-keeping functions—cataloging, acquisitions, circulation control, patrons' management, OPAC, serials, and report generation—in one seamless whole. Web-based features like its flexibility, adaptability, interoperability, MARC, Z39.50, patrons' ability for online logging in, registration, renewal, and many more were revealed. Also, reasons for its global adoptability, benefits, likely challenges, and solutions from practitioners were also highlighted. The chapter concludes that despite the puny but eventually surmounted challenges, Koha holds unlimited potential for libraries of any shape/size by just garnering from the experiences of subsisting users of the software globally.

In the global economy, the use of ICTs in everyday activities enables individual or communities to reduce the social divide and also enable them benefit from the internet and other information and communication technologies (ICTs), thereby competing effectively in the global economy. This study examines the concept of digital divide, types and manifestations globally and in the Nigerian context and the role of the library in bridging the persistent gap. The chapter further highlights previous attempts to bridge the digital gap in Nigeria and concludes with a range of recommendations.
