Abstract
Library is a room or building where books are kept and referenced. It is an area of multifarious activity on book management. Its major aim is to provide resources in the educational process. It is therefore important to enhance the services of the library especially the searching and borrowing services. To encourage many researchers in using library, its services to the community must be accessible, easy and available at all time. Hence, this paper is necessary to prepare a library data management platform whose services can be accessed by users using Android Smartphone. In this century, phone has become a ubiquitous tool. Consequently, its application and use in the library unit of every higher institution of learning cannot be overemphasized. This paper developed mobile library data management software for the Ambrose Alli University (AAU) library that will expedite the operations of the university library. Using a mobile phone, the system could show whether a book is available to be borrowed or not, book reservation and provide easy search of books. That is books can be searched with the option by title, author and ISSN. The software was developed using Android programming technology. Its full adoption by AAU library and other higher institution of learning will improve the data management operations in library system
