Automation is a process of using machinery to easily work and save human power and time. The main purpose of library automation is to free the librarians and library staff and to allow them to contribute more meaningfully to the spread of knowledge and Information.

There are many automation software available in the market like 'Alexandria', 'Koha', 'Evergreen', 'Libsys', 'Libsoft', 'Millennium', ISO 2709', 'MARC standards', 'MetaLib', 'Lura Tech', 'Z39.50' and much more. Here I have provided some tips and tricks to implement Koha and some customization to set up various parameters to work in different modules.
