Library Management System Project

Manual process of keeping student records, book records, account details, managing employee is very
difficult. There are various problems also faced by the student in library such as finding any particular
book, information whether book is available or not, for what time this book will be available, searching
of books using ISBN number etc. To eliminate this manual system, library management system has
been developed. Library Management System will handle all the current issues faced by the students
and by its admin personnel.
Library Management System Overview

This Library Management System will have login page from where its user can access. This page will
provide login for admin, working staff members and the students. Staff members accounts will be
manage by the admin. To access the library resources students have to register by using their
registration number, email address, phone number, class roll number and password. After successful
registration they will be provided the login facility.
Students can search books by using book ISBN number or by author name or by title of book along
with author name. After completion of this process students will be provided with book details such as
where it is located by using location number and by their row and column number.
If any student has lost their book, then this should be informed to library working staff member where
they can made changes to their account and take appropriate actions such as fine.
Admin will able to add staffs, delete staffs, add students, delete students, add books, manage account
details, schedule working time table etc.
For receiving book from the Library Management System students have to use their bard code card and
provide to the staff members where they will scan their card and add particular book into their account.
If any student does not clear their previous dues then it will display a message of defaulter and last date
to submit their dues.
Motivation behind this project

To store all the information in the database from where user will place their query and get the results on
the basis of their query. Only valid users will be able to access this Library Management System.
Through this Library Management System it will be easy to manage accounts and various details of
particular student and employees working under library along with the records of book.

INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE SYSTEM THAT NEED

TO DEVELOP
Library Management System Online
Library Management System is a windows application written for 32-bit Windows operating
systems, designed to help users maintain and organize library. Our software is easy to use for both
beginners and advanced users. It features a familiar and well thought-out, an attractive user interface,
combined with strong searching Insertion and reporting capabilities. The report generation facility of
library system helps to get a good idea of which are the books borrowed by the members, makes users
possible to generate reports hard copy. Library Search Engine provides your personal account
through which you can search books absolutely free and save your time to search book manually in
library.

1.3 PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The objectives for Library Management System are:
Easy procedure to use for any customer.

Make it easy for people to check the ticket status or make changes to their book booking.
The user invokes booking book feature from the LMS user interface.
Provide flexible access modes to users from internet or telephone directly.
Do the transactions for related easy to making book reservations, which includes blocking, reser
ving, and canceling or rescheduling purpose book.
1.4 SCOPE
The scope library management system to focus on the online only, because with the new system can
make easy to customer used, get the discount when their make purpose and make a customer
interesting with this system.
Actually this new library system is best and easy to use at any level because customers can borrow
book earlier so that they can save their time and know if the book they looking for exist or not.
With this new system we hope many customers like to use it.

1.5 SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT METHOD

Structure analysis uses a concept called the systems development life cycle (SDLC) to plan and
manage the system development process. The SDLC model includes the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
System Planning.
System Analysis.
System Design.
System Implementation.
System Operation, Support, and Security.
Requirements
Analysis
Design
Cording
Testing
Acceptance
SYSTEM PLANNING
The system planning phase usually begins with formal request to the IT department, called a
system request, which describes problems or desired changes in an information system or a business
process.
The purpose of this phase is to perform a preliminary investigation to identify the nature and
Page
7
UK Open University
scope of the business opportunity or problem. The preliminary investigation is a critical step because
the outcome will affect the entire development process.
A key part of the preliminary investigation is a feasibility study that reviews anticipated costs
and benefit and recommends a course of action based on operational, technical, economic, and time
factors.
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
The purpose of the system analysis phase is to build a logical model of the new system. The
first step is requirement modeling, where you investigate business processes and document what the
new system must do.
Requirement modeling continues the investigation that began during the system planning phase.
To understand the system, you perform fact-finding using techniques such as interview, surveys,
document review, data and process models, and object models.
SYSTEM DESIGN
The purpose of the system design phase is to create a blueprint that will satisfy all documented
requirement for the system. At this stage, you design the user interface and identify all necessary
output, input, and processes.
During the systems design phase, you also determine the application architecture, which shows
programmers how to transform the logical design into program modules and code.
The result of this is documented in the system design specification and presented to
management and users for review and approval. Management and user involvement is critical to avoid
any misunderstanding about what the new system will do, how it will do it, and what it will cost.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTAION
During the system implementation phase, the new system is constructed-programs are written,
tested, and documented, and the system is installed. The objective of the system implementation phase
is to deliver a completely functioning and documented information system.
At the conclusion of this phase, the system is ready for use. The system implementation phase
also includes an assessment, called a system evaluation, to determine whether the system operates
properly and if costs and benefits are within expectations.
SYSTEM OPERATION, SUPPORT, AND SECURITY

During the system operation, support, and security phase, the IT staff maintains, enhances, and
protects the system. The objective during this phase is to maximize return on the IT investment.
A well-designed system will be secure, reliable, maintainable, and scalable. Information system
need to be updated significantly or replaced after several years of operation.

Library Management Project in C++

The Library Management System automates the basic library functions to aid in the day-to-day
operations of a library. It supports functions such as issue, return, the very basic functions of searching
for a particular book, etc.
It also maintains data about books about books, teachers, students records that are required during
various library operations. The software aims to make the system user friendly and efficient.
The functions that the Library Management System provides are as follows:
1. INSERT: This operation is performed when new data needs to be added to the system, for e.g. when
department purchases a new book, the books entry is inserted in the books database. This option has
three choices:
a) Book: This choise allows entering data about newly purchased books into the books database. The
data entered includes books author, title, publisher, cost and various other fields provided in the form.
The data must be accurate and must be entered in the correct format as indicated in the forms.
b) Teacher: This option is used for entering data for a new teacher in the teachers database. This option
is chosen when a teacher joins college.
c) Student: This will enter new record for a student in students database. This option is chosen when a
student is enrolled in the college.
2. DELETE: This operation clears the existing records in the various databases. It is used when for e.g.
a member leaves college or when book is disposed of from library. But care mustbe taken while
performing this operation and permissiontaken from the head of library because the system could loose
any important data.
It can be performed on all databases and on three choices are:
Page
10
UK Open University
a) Book: This will enter a null value for the book whose accession number is entered in the
fieldprovided in the respected form. This operation is done when a book is disposed of the library.
b) Teacher: This will clear the record for a particular teacher whose identification number is entered.
This option is chosen when a teacher leaves college.
c) Student: This will clear the record for the particular student whose record needs to be deleted by
entering her roll number in the required field. This option is chosen when a student leaves college.
3. UPDATE: This function updates data in the various records. This operation is supported by all the
three enteries:
a) Book: This function generally would not be required for updating a books status as that data
wouldnt change.
b) Teacher: This will update the data of particular teacher, whose data has changed like address, phone
number, etc. by entering her identification number.
c) Student: This will update the data of student like address, course, etc. by entering students roll
number.
4. SEARCH: This function is used to search particular data from the database. This function can search
for data related to all the three entities:
a) Book: To search for a particular book, to know whether it is currently available in library or not. This
can be done by entering value in any one or more fields in the form to perform the search such as title
or author name.
b) Teacher: This will find out the particular teacher who currently has the book for which search is
being carried out.
c) Student: This will find out the particular student who possesses the particular book.
5. ISSUE: This operation is used for issuing a book to a member of the library. For this operation to be
successful the member must meet some criteria like she shouldnot have issued books to her maximum
limit previously. All these checks are done by software. If the operation is successful, then the system
automatically stores the date of issue and the due date by which the book must be returned.
a) Student: When a student loans a book, the entry of the book is stored automatically in the students
database with the due date of that book.
b) Teacher: In case a member of teaching staff loans a book the entry is stored in teachers database
with the due date of the book.
6. RETURN: Using this operation a member returns the items, which she loaned, from the library back
to it. If the book, which is loaned is not returned within specified time the member ends up as a
defaulter and she is required to pay fine which is calculated automatically by the software.
Page
11
UK Open University
a) Teacher: It will delete the corresponding entry made in teachers database.

b) Student: It will delete the corresponding entry made in students database.
7. DISPLAY: This is used to display each and every record, i.e. record of every book, teacher and
student in the library.
a) Book: Record of every book, i.e. its accession number, author name, publisher name, etc.
b) Teacher: Record of every teacher, i.e. her id, department, no. of books issued, etc., who is member of
the college library.
c) Student: Record of every student, i.e. her roll number, course, no of books issued, etc., who is
member of the college library.
8. EXIT: This takes user out of the application.

INTRODUCTION
In the new system, we hope that in the system to allow people to get the books they want. Our planning
system is targeted for the specific needs of library users.
If the user successful search book, users will be taken to a page form to register or log in to
their existing account. Users who already register can check out their book orders and waiting process
is completed and approved by the admin library.
This transaction number is what will be used to authenticate any transaction per time. Library
system is built on the three tier architecture of web applications. In this planning process we hope all
part of system will be finished to identify

3.1 INTRODUCTION
The goal of systems analysis is to determine where the problem is in an attempt to fix the
system. This step involves breaking down the system in different pieces and drawing diagrams to
analyze the situation.
Analyses project goals, break down functions that need to be created, and attempt to engage
users so that definite requirements can be defined. Requirement Gathering sometimes require
individual/team from client as well as service provider side to get a detailed and accurate requirements.

4.1 OUTPUT AND USER INTERFACE DESIGN

Output
Outputs from computer systems are required primarily to communicate the

results of processing to users. They are also used to provide a permanent copy of
these result for latter consultation .Computer output is the most important and
direct source of information to the users. Designing computer output should
proceed in an organized well through out the manner. The right output must be
available for the people who find the system easy o use. The outputs have been
defined during the logical design stage. If not, they should defined at the
beginning of the output designing terms of types of output connect, format,
response etc,
Various types of outputs are
External outputs
Internal outputs
Operational outputs
Interactive outputs
Turn around outputs
All screens are informative and interactive in such a way that the user can
full fill his requirements through asking queries.

CONCLUSION
5.1 ADVANTAGES OF NEW SYSTEM

The work can be easy to use when a new system has.
The customer can search online the book they want and booking it vary faster and can reduce
the time, cost and energy.
Less staff needed for working, when use the system online because all the work can do with
system only.
Can give advantages for our company such as reduce bills for rent of office, reduce staff, and
reduce budget to buy paper for documentation.
Less personal touch and harder to sell for company.
Customer don't neet to leave home and they can book ticket find it easier in the system online.
Its make costumer make they wok easy with new system.
Page

UK Open University
DISADVANTAGES OF THE NEW SYSTEM

The server library online must up to date for the new arrival book and it make system always in
maintenance.
Any staff must have inters access and computer skills to use and programming library system
server.
When the system have are problem like so many user, maybe system must stop or system run
slowly.
The customer doesnt know how to use this system to search and booking book.
SUMMARY
Our project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs in a library. Several user friendly coding have
also adopted. This new system shall prove to be a powerful package in satisfying all the requirements
of the organization.
The objective of software planning is to provide a frame work that enables the manger to make
reasonable estimates made within a limited time frame at the beginning of the software project and
should be updated regularly as the project progresses. Last but not least it is no the work that played the
ways to success but almighty.
