Online Library System

1. INTRODUCTION

Library is a place where all kind of books are available.

Online library system is a web-based application. This system contains list of all the
books and can be accessed by remote users from anywhere and can be accessed
by registered user.

An online library system, also known as digital library, an internet library, a digital
collection or a library without walls.

Online library system allows users to access information from anywhere, at any time.
They can help students broaden their knowledge, improve their search skills, and
boost their academic performance.
Is an online database of digital objects that can include text, still images, audio,
digital documents, or other digital media formats or a library accessible through the
internet

In addition to storing content, digital libraries provide means of organizing, searching,

and retrieving the content contained in the collection.

Digital libraries can vary immensely in size and scope, and can be maintained by
individuals or organizations.

3. PURPOSE / NEED OF SYSTEM

Digital libraries can provide users with access to rare and out-of-print materials that
might be difficult or impossible to locate in physical libraries.
Digital libraries also offer a variety of search and sorting features, as well as social
media-like features that can connect users with others to discuss topics.
Digital libraries provide users with online access to a wide range of resources. They
are often used by students for research or by professionals seeking to stay current
on the latest developments in their field.
As digital libraries continue to evolve, new features such as multimedia content, data
visualization tools and interactive experiences are being added to software to make
digital libraries even more engaging and helpful.
Libraries acquire books along with other reading materials, organize them, preserve
them and disseminate the information to the users.
In this way libraries play an important role in development of the society.
Libraries are community hubs. They connect people to people. They are safe havens
of kids, providing after-school homework help, games, and book clubs. They offer
computer classes, allowing older adults to stay engaged in a digital world.

4. SCOPE OF SYSTEM

The scope of an online library is to help users manage, access, store, and
manipulate information.
Provide instant access to resources, cut down the time and effort it takes to visit a
conventional library and find the right book.
Allows students to access information from anywhere at any time.
The impact of technology has greatly expanded the scope & capacity of the average
library.
Computers have radically changed the way people learn & communicate with each
other, as well as the library itself.
Online library differs little from other institutions and firms in impact of computing
technology on them.
In online library system whether a book has been issued or not is the work of
moments.

7.FEASIBILITY STUDY

A feasibility study is undertaken to determine the possibility or probability of either

improving the system or developing a completely new system.
It includes operational, economical, and technical feasibility.
Operational feasibility evaluates the system by its acceptance to the user.
Technical feasibility evaluates the system by like hood of the development of the
new system by technical aspect.
It considers whether the equipment, software and personal will satisfy the project
needs. Economic feasibility asks whether the new system is going before cost
effective then the existing system.
 Operational Feasibility::
Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the
problem, and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition
and how it satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of
system development.
The operational feasibility assessment focus on the degree to which the proposed
development project fits in with the existing business environment and objectives
with regard to development schedule, delivery date, corporate culture and existing
business processes.
To ensure success, desired operational outcomes must be imparted during design
and development. These include such design dependent parameters such as
reliability, maintainability, supportability, usability, reducibility, disposability,
sustainability, affordability and others.

 Economical Feasibility::
The purpose of the economic feasibility assessment is to determine the positive
economic benefits to the organization that the proposed system will provide.
It includes qualification and identification of all the benefits expected. This
assessment typically involves a cost/ benefit analysis.

 Technical Feasibility::

The technical feasibility assessment is focused on gaining an understanding of the

present technical resource.
Search Engine: To search book with author name, book name.
GUI: We provide best GUI (graphical user interface).
Fine Calculate: In this functionality we provide admin to collect fine due to delay to
return the book.
It is evaluation of the hardware and software and how it meets the needs of the
proposed system.

8.CONFIGURATION OF SYSTEM

This phase of software development process deals with brief study of different
hardware used in the computerized system. There is a list of hardware materials
used during the making and also during the use of proposed system.
As the new system to be made into a computerized functional system,
requirements of computer is must. All the hardware needed here are generally the
basic configuration of a typical office computer.
A list of hardware requirement and software requirement used in the system are
given as below:

Hardware requirements:
 Intel i3 or i5 processor
 8 GB RAM
 Hard disk 512 GB

Software requirements:
 Operating system—Windows 10/11or above
 Front-End—Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
 Back-End—My SQL server.
 Web-technology—asp.net.
 Web-browser—Google Chrome/ Firefox or Microsoft Edge.

9. DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

A data flow diagram needs to be simple because a user has to go through it,
understand it, and suggest correction of changes. A data flow diagram uses four
elements.
I. External Entity
II. Data flow
III. Process
IV. Data stores.

Symbols used in DFD’s:

Process: A process represents some amount of work using behavior of data. A
process does transformation of data from one form to another.
A circle represents a process. The area of the circle is divided into parts. The
process number is written in the top portion and the process name is written in the
bottom portion.

Process Symbol:

External Entity: A source or destination of data which is external to the system. As

the name suggests it lies outside the context of the system. It is represented by
solid squares.
The People/Departments that will be given data and/ or receiving information can
be referred to as External Entity as they do not accomplish any work done by the
system.
The data coming in and the reports produced are referred as the input and the
output of the system respectively.
External entity Symbol:

 Online Library System

A Data Flow: Here a flow of data is transformed. A data flow portrays an interface
among different component in the data flow diagram.
It represents the path of the data as it flows through a system. An arrow represents
it. The arrow head points in the direction in which the data moves.
The name of the data flow is written along the line.

Data flow Symbol:

Data Store: Any store data but with no reference to the physical method of string. It
there is a logical requirement for the data to be stored. It is held in a data store. A
data store, therefore, is a repository of data.
It is represented by an open-ended rectangle. A number and a name identify each
data store, like a process.

Data store symbol:
