Abstract : Libraries are business organizations and, like any business, are run by managers. Management responsibilities include planning, organizing, directing/motivating, controlling, making decisions, and solving problems. To fulfill their responsibilities, managers need information about what is occurring internally and in the external environment (Fulweiler, 2001, p 386). The library environment is undergoing a rapid change. There are many internal and external influences pushing libraries to think about some important questions like: What are they doing? Who are their clients? How are they performing? Can they do better? To answer these questions, effectively many libraries are redesigning their missions, changing their structures, and their processes. The goal of libraries is to use information better to achieve positive outcomes, which makes librarianship move towards Management Information Systems (MIS) to help achieve better results in decision-making. In this review the researcher presents the definitions, concept, and applications of MIS in an electronic library environment. The review will consist of literature concerning the evolution of MIS in library science, academic library management, organizational structures, performance indicators, decision-making, models and approaches, MIS, and DSS (Decision Support Systems).
