It is rightly said, “Knowledge is Power”. Knowledge achieved from reading Books. Hence LIBRARY is an area where collection of books is done. Therefore Library is one of the most key components of an education Institution. An excellent Library, stocked with varied reference books from basics to advanced study helps the Students to enrich their knowledge. The Library must be constantly updated with the Latest books of knowledge. The library should guide the following values: Knowledge, Service, Quality, Integrity, Respect, and Communication.
The most important department in and across the departments of an Educational institution is Library department. It holds immense potential in terms of effectively and efficiently learning information through various resources available. The main purpose of the Library management system is to reduce the work of the Librarian. Library management system is being maintained manually till now, through this application it can be maintained in the database.
This is an Intranet based application that can be accessed throughout the web. This system can be used to search for all books, search books based on author, search books based on title and reserve books, find out book is in available state or not. This is one integrated system that contains both the user component and the librarian component.
The Librarian is granted administrative powers and can perform all the actions such as adding new books to the library, updating existing books, deleting books, see the students requests and issuing books, renewal & returning of books and managing all the accounts. Librarian can access the account of any user and modify it.
Existing System:
This application maintains the details of books like what type of books are there, what books are in available state, and how many books are there for same title of different authors. This information is available only for librarian not for students.
The library management system is maintained manually till now, so the following disadvantages are occurred.
1. Wastage of time.
2. Work delay.
3. Decrease in the performance of the system.
4. More man power is required.
Proposed System:
In this system students are no need to go to library for reserving Book, just go to internet and search what types of books are there in library, search Books based on author, search books based on title and see what books are in Available state. In this way select which book we want and identify the book id and Reserve that book through reservation form.
If more than one person requesting for single book, then the librarian See the list of reservation forms and issue the books based on First in First out order of reservation Forms and rejecting the other student’s requests.
In this proposed the work delay and wastage of time will be reduced.
