ABSTRACT:

Online Library Management System is a system which maintains the information about the books
present in the library, their authors, the members of library to whom books are issued, library staff
and all. This is very difficult to organize manually. Maintenance of all this information manually is
a very complex task.
Owing to the advancement of technology, organization of an Online Library becomes much
simple. The Online 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 library helps in many instances of its maintenances. It
reduces the workload of management as most of the manual work done is reduced.

INTRODUCTION:
This part gives an overview about the aim, objectives, background and operation environment of
the system.

1.1 PROJECT AIM AND OBJECTIVES

The project aims and objectives that will be achieved after completion of this project are discussed
in this subchapter. The aims and objectives are as follows:

 Online book reading.

 A search column to search availability of book.
 An admin login page where admin can add books, videos or page sources.
 Open link for learning websites.
 User could be able to check his issued and borrowed source.
 Every students will be able to sign up.

1.2 BACKGROUND OF PROJECT

E-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 add new books, videos and Page sources.
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.
All these modules are able to help librarian to manage the library with more convenience and in a
more efficient way as compared to library systems which are not computerized.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS:

In this section, I will discuss and analyze about the developing process of Library Management
System including software requirement specification (SRS) and comparison between existing and
proposed system. The functional and Non functional requirements are included in SRS part to
provide complete description and overview of system requirement before the developing process is
carried out. Besides that, existing vs proposed provides a view of how the proposed system will be
more efficient than the existing one.

2.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

2.11 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Library Management System is a computerized system which helps user (librarian) to manage the
library daily activity in electronic format. It reduces the risk of paper work such as file lost, file
damaged and time consuming. It can help user to manage the transaction or record more
effectively and time- saving.

4
PROBLEM STATEMENT:

The problem occurred before having computerized system includes:

 File lost
When computerized system is not implemented file is always lost because of human
environment. Sometimes due to some human error there may be a loss of records.
 File damaged. When a computerized system is not there 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
 Space consuming.
After the number of records become large the space for physical storage of file and records
also increases if no computerized system is implemented.

2.1.2 SYSTEM OBJECTIVES

 Improvement in control and performance

The system is developed to cope up with the current issues and problems of library. The
system can add user, validate user and is also bug free.
 Save cost
After computerized system is implemented less human force will be required to maintain
the library thus reducing the overall cost.
 Save time
Librarian is able to search record by using few clicks of mouse and few search keywords
thus saving his valuable time.
 Option of online Notice board
Librarian will be able to provide a detailed description of workshops going in the college as
well as in nearby colleges.
 Lecture Notes
Teacher have a facility to upload lectures notes in a pdf file having size not more than
10mb.

 System must be able to delete information if information is wrong.

2.1.4 SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

This section describes the software and hardware requirements of the system

2.1.4.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

 Operating system- Windows 10 is used as the operating system as it is stable and supports
more features and is more user friendly.

 Database MYSQL-MYSQL is used as database as it easy to maintain and retrieve records

by simple queries which are in English language which are easy to understand and easy to
write.

 Development tools and Programming language- HTML is used to write the whole code and
develop webpages with css, java script for styling work and php for sever side scripting.

8
2.1.4.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

 Intel core i7 6generation is used as a processor because it is provide reliable and stable and
I can run my pc for longtime. By using this processor I can keep on developing our project
without any worries.

 Ram 8 gb is used as it will provide fast reading and writing capabilities and will in turn
support in processing.

EXISTING SYSTEM

 Early days Libraries are managed manually. It required lot of time to record or to retrieve
the details. The employees who have to record the details must perform their job very
carefully. Even a small mistake would create a lot of problems. Security of information is
very less. Report generations of all the information is very tough task.

 Maintenance of Library catalogue and arrangement of the books to the catalogue is very
complex task. In addition to its maintenance of member details, issue dates and return dates
etc. manually is a complex task.

 All the operations must be performed in perfect manner for the maintenance of the library
with out any degradation which may finally result in the failure of the entire system.

9
PROPOSED SYSTEM

To solve the inconveniences as mentioned in the existing system, an ONLINE LIBRARY is

proposed. The proposed system contains the following features:

 The students will register them through Online.

 Individually each member will have his account through which he can access the
information he needs.

 Book details like authors, number of copies totally maintained by library, presentavailable
number of books, reference books, non-reference books etc. all this information can be
made handy.

 Regarding the members designation, number of books was issued.

 Issue dates and returns of each member is maintained separately and fine chargedif there is
any delay in returning the book.

 Administrator can add, update the books.

 Time consuming is low, gives accurate results, reliability can be improved withthe help of
security.

2.3 SOFTWARE TOOLS USED

The whole Project is divided in two parts the front end and the back end.

2.3.1 FRONT END

The whole project is designed of html, php, css and java script.

HTML:

HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the main markup language for creating web pages and
other information that can be displayed in a web browser.HTML is written in the form of HTML
elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content.
HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent
empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and
the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). In between these
tags web designers can add text, further tags, comments and other types of text-based content. The
purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visible or audible
web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content
of the page.HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and
objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create
structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists,
links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which
affect the behavior of HTML web pages.

11
CSS:
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used fordescribing the look and formatting
of a document written in a markup language. While most often used to style web pages and
interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any kind of XML
document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is a cornerstone specification of the web
and almost all web pages use CSS style sheets to describe their presentation.CSS is designed
primarily to enable the separation of document content from document presentation, including
elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility,
provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable
multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content
(such as by allowing for table less web design).CSS can also allow the same markup page to be
presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice
(when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices.
It can also be used to allow the web page to display differently depending on the screen size or
device on which it is being viewed. While the author of a document typically links that document
to a CSS file, readers can use a different style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to
override the one the author has specified. However if the author or the reader did not link the
document to a specific style sheet the default style of the browser will be applied.CSS specifies a
priority scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a
particular element. In this so-called cascade, priorities or weights are calculated and assigned to
rules, so that the results are predictable.

JAVA SCRIPT:
JavaScript(JS) is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as part of
web browsers, whose implementations allow client- side scripts to interact with the user, control
the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed. It is
also being used in server-side programming, game development and the creation of desktop and
mobile applications. JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and
has first-class functions. Its syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript copies many names and
naming conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very
different semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the self and
Scheme programming languages. It is a multi- paradigm language, supporting object-oriented,
imperative, and functional programming styles. The application of JavaScript to use outside of web

12
pages—for example, in PDF documents, site-specific browsers, and desktop widgets—is also
significant. Newer and faster JavaScript VMs and platforms built upon them (notably Node.js)
have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side web applications.

PHP:
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-
purpose programming language. PHP is now installed on more than 244 million websites and 2.1
million web servers. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, the reference implementation
of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page,
it now stands for PHP: Hyper Text Preprocessor, a recursive backronym.PHP code is interpreted
by a webserver with a PHP processor module, which generates the resulting web page: PHP
commands can be embedded directly into an HTML source document rather than calling an
external file to process data. It has also evolved to include a command-line interface capability and
can be used in standalone graphical applications. PHP is free software released under the PHP
License. PHP can be deployed on most web servers and also as a standalone shell on almost every
operating system and platform, free of charge.

MYSQL:
MySQL("My S-Q-L", officially, but also called "My Sequel") is the world's most widely used
open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). It is named after co-founder
Michael Widenius daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language. The
MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU
General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned
and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by
Oracle Corporation. MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a
central component of the widely used LAMP open source web application software stack (and
other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-
software-open source projects that require a full-featured database management system often use
MySQL. For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional
functionality. Applications which use MySQL databases include: TYPO3, MODx, Joomla,
WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, Drupal and other software. MySQL is also used in many high-profile,
large-scale websites, including Wikipedia, Google (though not for searches), Facebook, Twitter,
Flickr, and YouTube.

MODULE DESCRIPTION:

31
For library management system it is divided into the following modules:

SYSTEM TESTING

The aim of the system testing process was to determine all defects in my project .The program was
subjected to a set of test inputs and various observations were made and based on these
observations it will be decided whether the program behaves as expected or not. Our Project went
through two levels of testing
1. Unit testing
2. Integration testing

UNIT TESTING

Unit testing is undertaken when a module has been created and successfully reviewed .In order to
test a single module we need to provide a complete environment ie besides the module we would
require

 The procedures belonging to other modules that the module under test calls.

 Non local data structures that module accesses

 A procedure to call the functions of the module under test with

appropriateparameters

1. TEST FOR THE ADMIN MODULE

32
  Testing admin login form-This form is used for log in of administrator of the system. In
this we enter the username and password if both are correct administration page will open
otherwise if any of data is wrong it will get redirected back to the login page and again ask
for username and password.

 Student account addition- In this section the admin can verify student details from student
academic info and then only add student details to main library database it contains add and
delete buttons if user click add button data will be added to student database and if he
clicks delete button the student data will be deleted

 Book Addition- Admin can enter details of book and can add the details to the main book
table also he can view the books requests.

2. TEST FOR STUDENT LOGIN MODULE

 Test for Student login Form:

This form is used for log in of Student. In this I enter the student id, username and
password if all these are correct student login page will open otherwise if any of data is
wrong it will get redirected back to the login page and again ask for student id, username
and password.

 Test for account creation- This form is used for new account creation when student does
not fill the form completely it asks again to fill the whole form when he fill the form fully it
gets redirected to page which show waiting for conformation message as his data will be
only added by administrator after verification

33
INTEGRATION TESTING

In this type of testing we test various integration of the project module by providing the input. The
primary objective is to test the module interfaces in order to ensure that no errors are occurring
when one module invokes the other modules.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT

This website provides a computerized version of library management system which will benefit the
students as well as the staff of the library.
It makes entire process online where student can search books, staff can generate reports and do
book transactions. It also has a facility for student login where student can login and can see status
of books issued as well request for book or give some suggestions. It has a facility of teacher’s
login where teachers can add lectures notes and also give necessary suggestion to library and also
add info about workshops or events happening in our college or nearby college in the online notice
board.

There is a future scope of this facility that many more features such as online lectures video
tutorials can be added by teachers as well as online assignments submission facility, a feature Of
group chat where students can discuss various issues of engineering can be added to this project
thus making it more interactive more user friendly and project which fulfills each users need in the
best way possible.
