Library Management System

Abstract

This project deals with the automation of library. This project consists of several forms. Mainly it has four major branches called login, master, transaction, report etc. The project is very much useful to us for managing a library without any risk. The student has to register her details. She will be allotted a user ID and password. The existing users can login using their user authentication. When a student takes a book from the library, it is registered and like manual book keeping, all the details are stored in a database. If the student fails to submit the book in time, automatically it puts fine. It also maintains subject wise book details so that the student can easily identify the available books.

Existing System

File is always lost because of human environment. Sometimes due to some human error there may be a loss of records. File is always lost due to some accident like spilling of water by some member on file accidentally. Besides some natural disaster like floods or fires may also damage the files. Difficult to search record when there is no computerized system there is always a difficulty in searching of records if the records are large in number

Proposed System

Library Management System is an application which refers to library systems which are generally small or medium in size. It is used by librarian to manage the library using a computerized system where he/she can record various transactions like issue of books, return of books, addition of new books, addition of new students etc. Books and student maintenance modules are also included in this system which would keep track of the students using the library and also a detailed description about the books a library contains. With this computerized system there will be no loss of book record or member record which generally happens when a non-computerized system is used.
