The Library Management System

The Library Management System automates the basic library functions to aid in the day-to-day
operations of a library. The purpose of the system is to allow for storing details of a large number of
books and allow for add, borrow, return facilities separately to staff and students. Different privileges
are given to different types of users.

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. Some of
the features involved are date of issuing the book and return the book. If the there is any delay in
returning the book fine should be paid

Functions of Library Management System

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 book’s 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 book’s 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 teacher’s database. This option
is chosen when a teacher joins college.

c) Student: This will enter new record for a student in student’s 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:

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 book’s status as that data
wouldn’t 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.

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.

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.

database with the due date of that book.
