ABSTRACT
Library management system is a project which aims in developing a computerized
system to maintain all the daily work of library .This project has many features
which are generally not availiable in normal library management systems like
facility of user login and a facility of teachers login .It also has a facility of admin
login through which the admin can monitor the whole system .It also has facility
of an online notice board where teachers can student can put up information about
workshops or seminars being held in our colleges or nearby colleges and librarian
after proper verification from the concerned institution organizing the seminar can
add it to the notice board . It has also a facility where student after logging in their
accounts can see list of books issued and its issue date and return date and also the
students can request the librarian to add new books by filling the book request
form.The librarian after logging into his account ie admin account can generate
various reports such as student report , issue report, teacher report and book report
Overall this project of ours is being developed to help the students as well as staff
of library to maintain the library in the best way possible and also reduce the
human efforts.
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives an overview about the aim , objectives ,background and operation
environment of the system.
1.1 PROJECT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The project aims and objectives that will be achieved after completion of this project are
discussed in this subchapter. The aims and objectives are as follows:
Online book issue
Request column for librarian for providing new books
A separate column for digital library
Student login page where student can find books issued by him/her and date of return.
A search column to search availability of books
A teacher login page where teacher can add any events being organized in the college
and important suggestions regarding books.
Online notice board about the workshop.
2 BACKGROUND OF PROJECT
Library Management System is an application which refers to library systems which are
generally small or medium in size. It is used by librarian to manage the library using a
computerized system where he/she can record various transactions like issue of books, return of
books, addition of new books, addition of new students etc.
Books and student maintenance modules are also included in this system which would keep track
of the students using the library and also a detailed description about the books a library
contains. With this computerized system there will be no loss of book record or member record
which generally happens when a non computerized system is used.
In addition, report module is also included in Library Management System. If user’s position is
admin, the user is able to generate different kinds of reports like lists of students registered, list
of books, issue and return reports.
All these modules are able to help librarian to manage the library with more convenience and in
a more efficient way as compared to library systems which are not computerized.
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
In this chapter, we will discuss and analyze about the developing process of Library
Management System including software requirement specification (SRS) and
comparison between existing and proposed system . The functional and non functional
requirements are included in SRS part to provide complete description and overview of
system requirement before the developing process is carried out. Besides that, existing
vs proposed provides a view of how the proposed system will be more efficient than the
existing one.
2.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION
2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Library Management System is a computerized system which helps
user(librarian) to manage the library daily activity in electronic format. It reduces
the risk of paper work such as file lost, file damaged and time consuming.
It can help user to manage the transaction or record more effectively and timesaving.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The problem occurred before having computerized system includes:
File lost
When computerized system is not implemented file is always lost because of human
environment.Some times due to some human error there may be a loss of records.
File damaged When a computerized system is not there file is always lost due to
some accdent like spilling of water by some member on file accidentally.Besides
some natural disaster like floods or fires may also damage the files.
Difficult to search record
When there is no computerized system there is always a difficulty in searching of
records if the records are large in number .
Space consuming
After the number of records become large the space for physical storage of file and
records also increases if no computerized system is implemented.
Cost consuming
As there is no computerized system the to add each record paper will be needed
which will increase the cost for the management of library.
2.1.2 SYSTEM OBJECTIVES
Improvement in control and performance
The system is developed to cope up with the current issues and problems of library
.The system can add user, validate user and is also bug free.
Save cost
After computerized system is implemented less human force will be required to
maintain the library thus reducing the overall cost.
Save time
Librarian is able to search record by using few clicks of mouse and few search
keywords thus saving his valuable time.
Option of online Notice board
Librarian will be able to provide a detailed description of workshops going in the
college as well as in nearby colleges
Lecture Notes
Teacher have a facility to upload lectures notes in a pdf file having size not more
than 10mb
