Online Library Management System

Abstract

The main objective of the Library Management system is organizing and managing the library tasks. Library is place where all kind of books are available. This is a web base application and only a registered user can access the application. Library Management system is developed to automate the task of entering the records of new book and retrieving the details of book available in the library. This system contains list of all the books. Using this system user can issue book to the library member, maintain their records, and can checks how many book are issued and how many books are available in the library. This system provides separate interface and login for librarian, students and faculties. Librarian can modify database. Using the library management system, user can also maintain the late fine of library member who return the issued book after the due date. Users can search for books and renewal books online. In the proposed system, we assume that each member will be having a identity card which can be used for the library book issue, fine payment etc. They can recommend for new books by just sending messages to the librarian from any where in the college. whenever library member wish to take a book, the book issued by the library authority will be check both the book details as well as the student details and store it in library database. They can view the issue and return dates of any book and due they have to pay.

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. Users can search for books and renewal books online. In the proposed system, we assume that each member will be having a identity card which can be used for the library book issue, fine payment etc. They can recommend for new books by just sending messages to the librarian from any where in the college. whenever library member wish to take a book, the book issued by the library authority will be check both the book details as well as the student details and store it in library database. They can view the issue and return dates of any book and due they have to pay.
