Objective:- Develop Data FLow Diagram(Level 0 DFD) For Library Management System

Data FLow Diagram(Level 0 DFD):- A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) for a Library
Management System typically involves various processes, data stores, data
flows, and external entities. Here's a simplified DFD
model for a Library Management System:

+---------------------+
| Library System |
+---------------------+
|
+---------+---------+
| |
+-------v-------+ +-------v-------+
| Administrator| | Library |
| | | Patrons |
+-------+--------+ +-------+-------+
| |
| |
+-------v--------+ +-------v--------+
| | | |
| Manage | | Access |
| Inventory | | Library |
| | | Resources |
+-------+--------+ +-------+--------+
| |
+-------v--------+ +-------v--------+
| | | |
| Update | | Borrow/Return |
| Inventory | | Books |
+----------------+ +-----------------+

DFD Elements:

Entities:
Administrator: Manages library system operations like adding or removing
books, managing user accounts, etc.
Library Patrons: Users who access library resources.
Library: The physical or virtual space where books and other resources are
kept.
External: Any external entities like suppliers, publishers, etc. (not shown
in this simplified diagram).

Processes:
Manage Inventory: Administrator process to update the library inventory,
including adding, removing, or updating books.
Access Library Resources: Process for patrons to access library resources,
including searching for books, checking availability, etc.
Update Inventory: Process to update the inventory when books are borrowed or
returned by patrons.
Borrow/Return Books: Process where patrons borrow or return books.

Data Flows:
Books Information: Flow of information about books between the library
inventory and administrator.
Borrowed/Returned Books: Flow of information about borrowed or returned books
between library inventory and patrons.
Library Resources Access: Flow of information about library resources between
library inventory and patrons.
Data Stores:
Library Inventory: Stores information about available books.
User Accounts: Stores information about library patrons.

Rules For Data Flow-


Data can flow from-
1) External Entities to Process
2) Process to External Entities
3) Process to Store & Back
4) Process to Process
