2.) Scope :
The different areas where we can use this application
are :

• Any education institute can make use of it for

providing information about author, content of the
available books.
• It can be used in offices and modifications can be
easily done according to requirements.

3.) Technology Used :

Front End : Servlets, HTML, Java script.
Back End : MS Access, Apache Tomcat server.

4.) Assumptions

• This application is used to convert the manual

application to the online application.
• Customized data will be used in this application.
• User does not have right to enter information
about books.

5.) Overview :
Project is related to library management which provides
reading services to its members. Any person can become a
member of the library by filling a prescribed form.
They can get the book issued, so that they cab take home
and return them.

6.) Functionality :

• Online membership.
• Keeps the track of issues and submission of books .

Feasibility Study

In feasibility study phase we had undergone through various

steps which are describe as under :
1. Identify the origin of the information at different level.
2. Identify the expectation of user from computerized
system.
3. Analyze the draw back of existing system (manual)
system.

WORKING OF PRESENT MANUAL SYSTEM

The staffs of library are involved in the following tasks.

1. Membership process : person have to fill membership
form and they are provided with member id.

DRAWBACKS OF PRESENT SYSTEM

Some of the problems being faced in manual system are as

follows:
1. Fast report generation is not possible.
2. Tracing a book is difficult.
3. Information about issue/return of the books are not
properly maintained.
4. No central database can be created as information is
not available in database.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
There will be three major components :
1. Stock maintenance.
2. Transaction entry.
3. Reports.

Proposed system provides with following solutions :

1. It provides "better and efficient" service to members.
2. Reduce the workload of employee.
3. Faster retrieval of information about the desired book.
4. Provide facility for proper monitoring reduce paper work
and provide data security.
5. All details will be available on a click.

E-R DIGRAM

It is clear that the physical objects from the previous section

– the member, books, library – correspond to entities in the
Entity-Relationship model, and the operations to be done on
those entities – holds, checkouts, and so on – correspond to
relationships. However, a good design will minimize
redundancy and attempt to store all the required information
in as small a space as possible.

Future Scope

FUTURE SCOPE OF APPLICATION :

This application can be easily implemented under various situations.

We can add new features as and when we require. Reusability is
possible as and when require in this application. There is flexibility
in all the modules.

SOFTWARE SCOPE:

• Extensibility: This software is extendable in ways that its original

developers may not expect. The following principles enhances
extensibility like hide data structure, avoid traversing multiple
links or methods, avoid case statements on object type and
distinguish public and private operations.

• Reusability: Reusability is possible as and when require in this

application. We can update it next version. Reusable software
reduces design, coding and testing cost by amortizing effort
over several designs. Reducing the amount of code also
simplifies understanding, which increases the likelihood that
the code is correct. We follow up both types of reusability:
Sharing of newly written code within a project and reuse of
previously written code on new projects.

• Understandability: A method is understandable if someone other

than the creator of the method can understand the code (as
well as the creator after a time lapse). We use the method,
which small and coherent helps to accomplish this.

• Cost-effectiveness: Its cost is under the budget and make within

given time period. It is desirable to aim for a system with a
minimum cost subject to the condition that it must satisfy the
entire requirement.

Scope of this document is to put down the requirements, clearly

identifying the information needed by the user, the source of the
information and outputs expected from the system.

Conclusion

From a proper analysis of positive points and constraints on

the component, it can be safely concluded that the product is
a highly efficient GUI based component. This application is
working properly and meeting to all user requirements. This
component can be easily plugged in many other systems.
