Koha is an open software Library Integrated Management System (LIMS) and is used worldwide by public, school and academic libraries which its development was steered by a growing community of libraries and users collaborating to achieve their technological goal. This study was guided by three objectives. Questionnaire methods were adopted for eliciting relevant information as far as this research work is concerned. Both descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data collected from respondents. It was found that the library has adopted and used Koha for online library management and services. The major challenges confronted the libraries include: inadequate funding, inadequate managerial support, inadequate power supply, and low internet bandwidth. The findings of this study will serve a very useful purpose for Olusegun Oke Library in particular and their counterparts across the Nigeria in general. The flexibility and friendly nature of the software will also enable users maximize their gains in the search for information.
