 LIBRARY PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project is called Library Management System. It is developed

using Visual Basic to help manage all the daily work of a library. In many libraries,
records are written in registers or notebooks, which takes a lot of time and may
cause mistakes. This project helps to store all the information on a computer so
that the work becomes easier, faster, and more accurate.

With this system, the librarian can easily:

 Add new books to the database
 Update book details (title, author, publisher, quantity)
 Register students or members
 Issue books and record the issue date and return date
 Receive returned books and update records
 Check which books are available or already issued

The software also keeps the history of issued and returned books. This
helps in tracking if a student has returned the book on time or not. It also reduces
the chances of losing book records. This project saves time and effort, improves
data accuracy, and helps maintain better control over the library’s daily activities.
Whether it’s a school, college, or public library, this system is useful for any place
that needs efficient book management.

 SOFTWARE
OVERVIEW

T.Y B.COM.COMPUTER APPLICATION 7

 SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
1. FRONT END :
 Visual Basic.Net Overview :

Visual Basic.Net is a programming language developed by Microsoft.

It is used to create Windows-based applications with a graphical user interface
(GUI). In this project, Visual Basic is used to design the forms (windows) that the
librarian will use to add books, issue books, return books, and manage student
records. Visual Basic is user-friendly and supports drag-and-drop tools, which
makes designing forms quick and easy. It also supports database connections,
which is useful for storing and managing data in the library.

The Library Management System is developed using Visual Basic.Net

6.0 as the front-end and MS Access as the back-end database. This system uses the
ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) model to connect to the database, manage records,
and perform data operations. Visual Basic provides a user-friendly interface, which
makes it easier to design forms and manage controls.

 ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) :

 ADO is used to connect Visual Basic with the MS Access database.
 It allows easy handling of data such as adding, deleting, updating, and
retrieving records.
 The ADO control or code-based ADO connection is used to open database
connections and execute SQL queries.

 Data Report :

Data Report is a built-in tool in Visual Basic.Net 6.0 used to create and
display printed reports. It allows the user to show information in a well-arranged
format, just like a printed page or bill. In the Library Management System, Data
Reports help the librarian to view and print important records like book lists, issued
books, return status, fine reports, etc.

T.Y B.COM.COMPUTER APPLICATION 8

  Examples of Reports in This Project

1.Book List Report :

o Displays all books with Book ID, Name, Author, Publisher.

2.Issued Books Report :

o Shows which books are issued, to which member, and what date.

3.Return Report :

o Lists all returned books with return date and status.

4.Member Report :

o Shows a list of registered members with contact details.

5.Fine Report :

o Displays list of members who returned books late, along with

the fine amount.

2. BACK END :
 MS Access Overview:

MS Access is a database management system (DBMS) by Microsoft. It is

used to store data in tables. In this project, MS Access is used as the back-end
database where all the library records are saved. Microsoft Access is a popular and
user-friendly database management system used to store and manage data. In this
Library Management System project, MS Access is used as the back-end database,
where all the important information is stored in tables.

T.Y B.COM.COMPUTER APPLICATION 9

 It allows easy handling of data such as adding, updating, deleting, and
searching for records. Access is a good choice for small to medium-sized projects
because it is simple to use, doesn't require complex setup, and works perfectly with
Visual Basic 6.0 using ADO (ActiveX Data Object).

 The data includes:

 Book Master
 Student Master
 Issue And Return Records

 Data Type Summary :

1. Text :
The Text data type is used to store a combination of letters, words,
numbers (as characters), and symbols. It is mainly used when the data is not
meant for calculations, but rather for displaying or identifying names, titles,
addresses, and other descriptive information.

In a Library Management System, the Text data type plays a very

important role in storing values such as book titles, author names,
publisher names, student or member names, user login names, addresses,
and other similar details

2. Number :
The Number data type is used to store numeric values such as book
quantity, roll number, book ID, fine amount, and other numerical data that
may be used for calculations or counting.

It is very important in a Library Management System, where numbers are

needed for keeping track of books, members, and transactions.

T.Y B.COM.COMPUTER APPLICATION 10

 3. Date/Time :
The Date/Time data type is used to store any dates and times. It is
especially useful in the Library Management System to track when a book is
issued and when it is returned. This allows the program to automatically
calculate how many days a book was issued for and whether a fine should
be charged.

4. Yes/No (Boolean) :
The Boolean data type, which in MS Access is called Yes/No, is used to
store only two possible values – True or False. This is perfect for fields that
represent status, such as whether a book has been returned, whether a
member is active, or whether a user has admin rights. It makes it easy to
perform checks in the program using simple conditions like
 If returned = True Then...

5. Object :
In Visual Basic, the Object data type is a special type that can hold
references to other objects like forms, controls (e.g., buttons, textboxes),
database connections, reports, or even custom objects created by the
programmer. This makes it very flexible, because it can be used to work with
almost anything inside the application.
For example, if you want to control a form from another form, or pass
a reference to a TextBox, you can use the Object data type.

6. Variant :
A special VB data type that can store any kind of value (text, number,
date,etc.).It’s flexible but uses more memory.
Example: Dim value As Variant.

T.Y B.COM.COMPUTER APPLICATION 11

 7. Integer :
The Integer data type is used to store whole numbers between -32,768
and 32,767. It is useful when the number is not expected to have decimals,
such as when storing the number of available books or a serial number. For
larger whole numbers, Visual Basic provides the Long data type, which can
store numbers in a much larger range.

8. Long :
The Long data type is used to store larger whole numbers than the
standard Integer type. While Integer can store values up to 32,767, Long can
hold much bigger numbers—up to 2,147,483,647. This makes it ideal for
storing data such as Book ID, Member ID, Transaction ID, or any field that
may require a unique number and could grow over time.

9. Double :
The Double data type is used to store numbers with decimal
points, also called floating-point numbers. It is helpful when precision is
important, such as when calculating fine amounts, book prices, discounts, or
average overdue days

 Need for Feasibility Study :-

Feasibility study is important to check if the project is practically possible and

beneficial. It helps to understand the technical, economic, and operational
aspects before development begins. A feasibility study is done before
starting the actual development of the system. Its main goal is to understand
whether the proposed system is practical, cost-effective, and useful.
