Introduction:-

Aim:-

LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is a software application to maintain therecords

related to Book Purchase, Stock Maintenance, Book Search, Catalog,Book Issue,
Book Returns, Fine Collection, and all necessary requirements forthe Library to
manage day to day operations.

The library management deals in management of records. The records include

books which are

required by different students accordingly. Maintaining these records manually

becomes difficult thus we are proving such system a computerized backend.

In this system each member is provided with a member code and all the records are
maintained in a table along with the member’s code. Any information can be
accessed according to member-code anytime from the table and also at the time of
issuing books.

The “library management system” has been developed to override the problems
prevailing in the practicing manual system.

The application is reduced as much as possible to avoid errors while entering the
data. It also provides error message while entering invalid data. No formal
knowledge is needed for the use this system.

The library management system as described above can lead error free, secure,
reliable and fast management system.

Every organization , whether big or small, has challenges to overcome and

managing the information of Books, students, librarian, address and member.

Every library management system has different student needs, therefore we design
exclusive employee management system that is adapted to your managerial
requirements.

Problem Defination:-

The transactions related to Book Purchase, Book Issue and Book Returnsare maintained
manually at present along with maintaining the accounts of theStudents and the
Lecturers.

All these are to be automated and an application is required to relate allof them relatively and
logically so that the current system can be replaced andaccepted without major changes
and problems.

OBJECTIVE:-

With the growing information technology industry, automation of their system and
management is desired by all kind of commercial enterprises. As the name suggest
Library Management System will deal in the entire requirement needed for
managing the activities of College Library. It will deal with the process of
maintaining data about the books and many other things as well as transactions
which are taking place in the library with respect to the Issue, Cataloguing,
Searching and Return of the books.

Library Management System maintains the record of books in the library, issue,
purchasing and return process of the books in the library. Here we are primarily
concerned with management of books of library. In this project we identify the
need for computer based Library Management Systems.

Hence this covers the following issues:

 Maintains data about the books of the library.

 Arranging data in logical order for easy maintenance.
 Collection of data about books which are issued and requirement for
purchasing.
 To provide various search options to know the availability of books in the
Library.
 Data about books which are lost.

Library is a growing organism that requires constant positive changes to meet the
need of its user. The invention of computer has brought in a rapid change in the
society. Therefore, automation has become the need of the hour. Library
automation not only improves the image of the library staff but also provides
additional services to the users with the existing staff. The impact of automation on
the library is quite obvious; it creates new environment where each function
redefines the traditional organizational structure and transforms it into new
institutional entries. In this unit a brief overview is given about library automation.

Scope:-

This application can be used by any Library to automate the process of manually
maintaining the records related to the subject of purchasing of books, selecting and
ordering items for the collection and maintaining the accounts, Creating records for
material held in the collection and providing access to the catalogue-Via an Online
Public Access Catalogue (OPAC).

METHODOLOGY:-

To develop the Library Management System Software, There we are decided the
three Different layers-Presentation Layer, Logical Layer and Database Layer. In
Presentation Layer to design the interface of the software. In Logical Layer to
decide and write the program for to performing the library task execution under the
decide module. In Database layer to analysis and design the database of the
Module.

 Carry out web-based surveys of ILS curricula, as they relate to coverage of

LMSs and related topics, and of ILS professionals, to determine their
workplace needs for education in this specific area
 Invite selected respondents from to test the teaching materials being
developed for the range of hosted LMSs
 Carry out a literature review of both the developing demands on LMSs in
terms of the search facilities they offer and on practical methods of teaching

5
 basic interface design, and develop new teaching materials, using as testers
people selected from.
 Evaluate, by means of post-test questionnaires for developers and course
participants.

Output:-

 Report of available books.

 To view the account details of purchase books.
 To view the requirement of library.
 To view report of publisher.
 To view the list of purchase books.

LIMITATION:-

This application has Perform the limited activity of College Library Management
System .These limitation are following:-

 This application do not support the networking.

 It maintained the limited operation of data.
 Reporting is not in well formed.

CONCLUSION:-

Library Management Program has been created keeping in mind the needs of
Small and Medium scale libraries. It’s efficient software that includes all the basic
functionalities like making data entries for new books, newspapers and magazines,
registering a new user, editing and deleting records that are required for smooth
functioning of a library. Additionally the user login and book history are also
stored and can be accessed by the administrator.

6
It also facilitates the librarian to create new user groups and edit their access levels
and functions (like that of the assistants). Apart from this the general users are also
given the rights to not only keep track of the books that they have issued and fines
due but they too can search for the books/magazines/newspapers that interest them
