Course Overview

In this class the student will learn how the Library Management System (LMS) is used to create, qualify, and manage parts for use in electronic designs. This hands-on course covers planning for library management, an overview of the Library Management System, LMS administration and configuration, part construction, and part management. It will help librarians quickly learn the potential of the LMS tools. Upon completion of this course, the new librarian will be able to create a library structure, maintain that structure, and evolve that structure as the needs of the organization change.

You will learn how to

• Understand what a library is and how to manage it
• Plan and develop a library structure
• Use the Library Manager tools
• Install and configure LMS
• Construct parts, test parts, release parts, maintain parts

Hands-On Labs

• How to use the LMS tools
• How to set up an LMS system for a local user, setting up a location map, and manipulating various configuration files
• How to set up and use Design Architect/Library Management System and To_Layout
• How to understand and edit library configuration files
• How to create parts and part catalogs
• How to test the newly created parts for use in the entire design process flow
• How to release parts by moving from a development library to a released library
• How to maintain parts by moving from a released library back to a development library for additional development, retest the modified part, and re-release

Audience

This course is intended for librarians who are part developers, library administrators, or designers.
