PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The Library Management System is designed & developed for a receipt and issuance of books in the library along with the student’s details. The books received in the library are entered in Books Entry form and the new student is entered in the student entry form. When the student wants to get the desired book the same is issued on the availability basis to the student. The issuance and due date for the returning of the book is also entered into the Book Issue form under third menu Book Issue. The student has to pay the fine if any on the basis of no. of days delayed deposit of the book in the library.
VISUAL BASIC
Visual Basic is Graphical Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool that aims at providing the user with a graphical interface that is intuitive and easy to use. Visual Basic is a popular programming tool that can be used to write any kind of visual application ranging from a game to a database management application. Now-a-days Visual basic is being widely used for developing different types of applications and performing various types of jobs. With Visual basic, one can automate everyday tasks, add custom required features and functions to suit ones need, and create applications, which makes task easier.
A visual Basic programming environment provides all features that are required to develop a graphical user interface as ready to use components. The Visual Basic programming environment is also called Point and Click environment. The programmer does not have to write the code to create and display commonly required user-friendly features each time around.
When the programmer needs a specific user interface feature such as a button, he selects the appropriate ready to use component provided by the Visual programming environment. These components can be moved, resized and renamed as required. So a Visual programming environment automates the process of creating the user interface by designing Visual interface using the ready to use components. In addition, it also provides the means of associating the user written logically defined code with the components used in a project.
My project on “Library Management” deals with the transaction happenings in Library in an organization/institute.
This project will be proved easier, as more of the tasks obtained are managed by a mouse click. The final reports and other facilities and calculations are calculated and updated automatically
CONCLUSION
After we have completed the project we are sure the problems in the existing system would overcome. The “LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” process made computerized to reduce human errors and to increase the efficiency. The main focus of this project is to lessen human efforts. The maintenance of the records is made efficient, as all the records are stored in the ACCESS database, through which data can be retrieved easily. The navigation control is provided in all the forms to navigate through the large amount of records. If the numbers of records are very large then user has to just type in the search string and user gets the results immediately. The editing is also made simpler. The user has to just type in the required field and press the update button to update the desired field.
The Books and Students are given a particular unique id no. So that they can be accessed correctly and without errors. Our main aim of the project is to get the correct information about a particular student and books available in the library.
The problems, which existed in the earlier system, have been removed to a large extent. And it is expected that this project will go a long way in satisfying users requirements. The computerization of the Library Management will not only improves the efficiency but will also reduce human stress thereby indirectly improving human recourses.
