Abstract: Library is not limited to offering resources for learning and teaching. Traditional library services are rapidly changing and library professionals are going beyond their limits of the duty list to provide maximum contribution to their users. They are coming out of the library and serve as resource persons, instructors, lecturers, research helpers, mentors, counselors and play many roles in the academic environment. They are giving their contribution to enhance learning and teaching by conducting lectures, seminars and workshops on research based sessions such as literature searching, plagiarism, referencing, thesis writing, abstract writing, research publishing, data analysis, research methodology etc. These works (content and knowledge) should be stored in an information system such as the University Learning Management System (LMS). With the COVID pandemic situation the need for such a system is very high due to the importance of online learning environment. That is why Library Learning Management System (Library LMS) is subjected to discussion. The duty list of library professionals is being redefined accordingly. Library professionals consist of the multidisciplinary subject streams. They contribute to teaching by conducting online lectures, creating online learning materials, providing new tools and techniques, conducting consultancy for research support using their subject knowledge. Then students will get many benefits such as download available learning materials, video lectures, make an appointment for online tutors, get “ask help†service and meet subject specialists when they have a “Library LMS†. It may have two tasks when establish a “Library LMS†. The first task is to develop a “Library LMS†as a sub system of the existing Library Management System. The second task is to integrate it with the University LMS.
