E Library :-
A set of documents available through electronic means by the use of digital technologies that allow for the retrieval, archiving,
preservation, and dissemination of those documents Constructing Virtual Libraries.
Purpose of E Library :-
The E-Library Management System serves several critical purposes aimed at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of
library operations. Here are the key objectives:-
1. Automation of Library Function
2. Improve Accessibility
3. Efficient Library Management System
4. Cost Reduction
5. Enhanced User Experience
6. Support For Learn Research
7. Community Engagement
System Requirement :-
• Hardware Requirements:
• Processor: Intel Core i3 or equivalent
• RAM: 2GB minimum
• Hard Disk: 500GB
• Software Requirements:
• Operating System: Windows/Linux
• Compiler: GCC or any C compiler
Features Of E Library Management System :-
• User Registration
• Book Entry and Management
• Book Issue and Return Tracking
• Search Functionality for Books
Project Scope and Objectives :-
1. Scope:
1. A console-based E-Library system.
2. Implemented using C, using structures and file handling.
3. Book records stored in a file system to persist data.
2. Key Objectives:
1. Implement a basic menu-driven interface for the user.
2. Design and implement efficient file handling mechanisms for book management.
3. Develop search algorithms and dynamic updates to the book data.
4. Allow users to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on book records
Data Structures :-
Introduce the structure used to represent a book in C :
struct Library {
char book_name[100];
char author[100];
int pages;
float price;
};
Sample Code :-
Provide a simple implementation of the main functionalities:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct Library {
char book_name[100];
char author[100];
int pages;
float price;
};
int main() {
struct Library lib[100];
int count = 0;
int input;
while (1) {
printf("\n1. Add Book\n2. View Books\n3. Exit\n");
printf("Enter your choice: ");
scanf("%d", &input);
switch (input) {
case 1:
printf("Enter book name: ");
scanf("%s", lib[count].book_name);
printf("Enter author name: ");
scanf("%s", lib[count].author);
printf("Enter number of pages: ");
scanf("%d", &lib[count].pages);
printf("Enter price: ");
scanf("%f", &lib[count].price);
count++;
break;
case 2:
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
printf("Book Name: %s, Author: %s, Pages: %d,
Price: %.2f\n",
lib[i].book_name, lib[i].author,
lib[i].pages, lib[i].price);
Challenges and solutions :-
1. File Handling:
• Challenge: Ensuring proper file read/write operations without data corruption.
• Solution: Using binary file operations for efficient and accurate data handling.
2. Memory Management:
• Challenge: Managing memory effectively for adding/removing records dynamically.
• Solution: Proper dynamic memory allocation and deallocation to avoid memory leaks.
3. Concurrency Issues:
• Challenge: Handling multiple requests at the same time.
• Solution: The current system is single-threaded, but future improvements could include using
multi-threading or a database system.
User Interface :-
Discuss how the command-line interface works for user interaction.
Mention potential improvements like a graphical user interface (GUI) in future iteration
Conclusion :-
1. The E-Library System provides a basic yet efficient solution for managing books in a digital library.
2. The project demonstrates core concepts in C programming such as file handling, memory management, and
struct usage.
3. Future iterations can improve scalability and user experience.
