Library Management System Data Flow Diagram(DFD)

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) depicts the flow of information and the transformation applied when data moves in and
out of a system. The overall system is represented and described using input, processing, and output in the DFD. The
inputs can be:

 Book request when a student requests for a book.


 Library card when the student has to show or submit his/her identity as proof.

The overall processing unit will contain the following output that a system will produce or generate:

 The book will be the output as the book demanded by the students will be given to them.
 Information on the demanded book should be displayed by the library information system that can be used
by the student while selecting the book which makes it easier for the student.

Level 0 DFD –

Level 1 DFD – At this level, the system has to show or exposed with more details of processing. The processes that
are important to be carried out are:

 Book delivery
 Search by topic

List of authors, List of Titles, List of Topics, the bookshelves from which books can be located are some information
that is required for these processes. Data store is used to represent this type of information.
Level 2 DFD –
Loan Management System Data Flow Diagram (DFD)
A thorough explanation is provided for the example data flow diagram for loan management system. This example
emphasizes the three DFD levels (DFD Levels 0, 1, and 2).

0 Level DFD-

The context diagram is an alternative name for the Level 0 DFD Diagram for Loan Management System. Users, the
main process, and data flow make up its parts. Also, the project concept is demonstrated using the single process
visualization.

DFD Level 0 shows the entities that interact with a system and defines the border between the system and its
environment. This diagram also depicts the loan management system at a high level.

Level 1 DFD –

The “detonated view” of the context diagram is Loan Management System DFD Level 1. Its function is to deepen the
concept derive from the context diagram. Specifically, level 1 shows the broader details of Loan Management System
DFD Level 0. This is to clarify the paths (flow) of data and its transformation from input to output.
The designed diagram portrays four different scenarios: debtor information management, loan records management,
payment monitoring, and checks/update loan status.

Firstly, the flow of data starts from the lender and the debtor. Then the system caters to the transaction. This idea
was based on lending processes or transactions.

You can also see the data store used or the database. The database is also used in storing users’ data inputs. Then it
serves as the source of outputs.

Level 2 DFD –

Level 2 DFD for Loan Management System is also the highest abstraction of the data flow diagram. This level also
broadens the idea from the DFD level 1. It includes the sub-processes from level 1 as well as the data that flows.

However, not all of the processes in the project must have sub-processes. Only provide this diagram if needed. As
long as your previous diagrams were clear and precise, this level is not required.

You can add more to this and it is up to you how will you create your data flow diagram. Also, consider the data flow
included and be precise with your information.
