ABSTRACT
A Library Management System (LMS) is a system that maintains the information about the books present in the library, their authors, the members of the library to whom books are issued, library staff and all. This isn’t easy to organize manually. Maintenance of all this information manually is a very complex task. Owing to the advancement of technology, the organization of an Online Library has become much simpler.
The Library Management has been designed to computerize and automate the operations performed over the information about the members, book issues and returns and all other operations. This computerization of the library helps in many instances of its maintenance. It reduces the workload of management as most of the manual work done is reduced. With the advancement of technology, it is imperative to exalt all the systems in a user-friendly manner.
The Library Management system acts as a tool to transform traditional libraries into digital libraries. In traditional libraries, the students/user has to search for books which is a hassle process and there is no proper database maintenance about Issues/fines. The Admin has to work allotted for arranging and sorting books in the book sales. At the same time, they have to check and monitor the lend/borrow book details with its fine.
EXISTING SYSTEM
LMS will assist the Admin to work easily. The LMS supports the admin to encounter all the issues concurrently. The users need not stand in a queue long enough to return/borrow a book from the library. The single PC contains all the data in it. The admin has to assess the system and provide an entry in it.
Through LMS the admin can find the book in the bookshelves. The LMS is designed with basic features such as Admin can add/view/update/delete the book. Once he/she ingress into the system they can modify any data in the database. The complete model is developed in PHP/MySQL language and is used to build the application.
From ancient times knowledge was spread by people across the world in written form. First, the information was stored by carving words on copper using a sharp tool; by the time papers were invented and using the ink and feathers of birds the information was started to store on paper, which helped a lot for storing purposes.
It’s very difficult to store the data stored in books secured and safe; as we know the paper can be torn apart or they got stolen by someone or in the worst scenario pages get eaten by bugs. So as we know from old times libraries are managed manually by a group of people.
INTRODUCTION
The methods are really difficult compared to today’s digitized world, we can find anything with just one click, but we see that past methods kept written records for each thing and that record goes on increasing as time passes. If the records got lost then there is no other for retrieve them, so the loss is permanent. Digitization of the library helps to keep all the records secured and retrievable which saves the paperwork and makes library records easy to store.
1.1 General Introduction
This project not only helps to store the library records but also provides access to the library management staff and students to check the information related to the books like availability of books, issue and returning dates, fines related to the delay in returning the book and the information is accessed by both librarian and students so it will be transparent system.
1.2 General Introduction
The software to be implemented is on Digital Library Management System. Here there are 2 users. They are The Admin and the receptionist. The first process is the registration of the users who visit the library. All the details will be entered into the software.
1.3 General Introduction
Admin has the authority to add, delete modify the details of the book that are available. Admin also has authority to alert the users, before the due date. The user has to first register and then log in with some required details asked by the system. If the book is not available, the user cannot issue the book, whereas, he/she can access the online pdf of the book only if the book is not available.
