ABSTRACT

Library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to

a defined community for reference or borrowing. Thus the process of handling a
library manually is very troublesome and clumsy. As regards to this point of view, the
computerized system for handling the activities of library management provides a
comprehensive way to lessen physi cal labour, to reduce complexity of the manual
system. This project aim is to design and implement a computerized library management
52
system. The library management sysstem is design and implemented using the HTML
(Hypertext mark-up language), CSS (Cascading style sheet), PHP (Hypertext pre-
processor) and My SQL database. The system is developed using the V-Model software
development approach. An extensive evaluation of the project determines that the
project achieved many of its predefined objectives.

CHAPTER ONE
52
1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

A library is an organised collection of information sources which is made accessible to

the people. The library usually contains the information physically or in a digitized
format.In the olden period the access was usually in the library room as the technology grew
up the access that was made online (Dinesh et al.,2015). Library is a fast growing
organism. The ancient methods to maintain it are no longer dynamic and efficient. For
expeditious retrieval and dissemination of information and better service for the
clientele, application of modern techniques has become absulutely indispensable
(Neelakandan etal, 2010).

Libraries can be divided into categories by several types, which are: Academic
libraries, Corporate libraries, Government libraries such as national libraries,
Historical society libraries, Private libraries, Public libraries, School libraries, Special
libraries,Digital libraries, Picture (photograph) libraries, Slide libraries, Tool libraries,
Architecture libraries, Fine arts libraries, Medical libraries, Theological libraries etc.

A library is comprised of the following sections, based on the services rendered.

i. Acquisition Section: The books demanded by different departments are done by the
Acquisition section. Polytechnic book centre is also working in this section for supply of
books to the libraries in this polytechenic

ii. Technical Section: To classify, catalogue, OPAC, Barcode etc. the document
of the polytechnic library this section is working.
iii. Circulation Section: This section provides documents to the members and users of
l i bra ry for home reading as well as reading in the library. The document
a re a rra nged on the racks in st acks as per the dewey decimal classification
sc he m e .
iv. Periodical Section: To procure, maintain and arrange periodicals services to library
members. Periodical section provides reference service with respect to the
requirement of the reader. Reference section is attached to periodical section for
convenience of the library users.

52
v. Databases: Databases like OPAC, CAB-CD ROM abstracting databases, Delent

online Network Service etc. are available for the library members.

vi. Reprographic Section: This Section has two automatic plain paper copiers and a
duplicating machine through which the services of photocopy are provided to the
readers.
vii. Binding Section: This section is working for binding work of the damaged books.
Back volumes and other document of this library. The required binding machinery is
avaliable in this section. Library management is a sub-discipline of institutional management
that focuses on specific issues faced by libraries and library management
professionals. Library management encompasses normal management tasks as well as
intellectual freedom, anti-censorship, and fundraising tasks. Issues faced in library
management frequently overlap those faced in management of non-profit
organizations(Sharma etal.,2005).
1.2 Statement of the Problem

Presently, transaction of books in the institutional libraries have been done manually in
most cases, thereby taking more time for transaction like borrowing of books or return of
books and also searching of member and books. Series of problems occur as a result of this
thereby resulting to inefficient library management. In most cases as a result of human
error there maybe loss and damages of records due to not using a computerized system in the
library.

Nevertheless, the difficulty in the searching of books which could be termed to be

inadequacy in book Management is a problem in the manual library thereby causing
inefficiency and time consuming in the library. Also the problem of space consuming
erupts after the number of records become large the space for physical storage of file and
records also increases if no auterized system is implemented as well as the issue of cost
Due to problem of lack of prompt information retrieval and time wastage in using the
library. In addition due to the cumbersome, in this project compter approach will be used to
solve these problems. Each of the manuel procedure will be analysed.

1.3 Aim and Objectives

52
The aim of this project is to develop a system that can handle and manage the

activities involved in a library in an efficeint and reliable way.

The objectives are:

i. Designing a computerized library management system which would help evacuate

the problem faced in manuel library.

ii. Implementing the system.

iii. Evaluating and testing the performance of the system

1.4 Scope of the Project

The project product to be produced is a Library Management System which will

automate the major library operations. The first subsystem is the registration of the users to
the system to keep track of authorized users to the system. The second subsystem is the
registration of new books into the library management system to know when new books
are brought into the library.
The third subsystem is a borrower and return of books which is the major area needed

by the user. There are three end users for the Library Management System. The end users

are the admin, users and members.

1.5 Motivation of the Study

The motivation behind the study of designing and implementing a Library Management
System (LMS) is driven by several critical needs and challenges faced by modern libraries.
Addressing these motivations can lead to significant improvements in library operations, user
experience, and resource management. Here are the key motivating factors for this project:

52
 1. Need for Efficient Resource Management

Libraries handle a diverse and extensive collection of resources, including books, journals,
electronic media, and more. Traditional manual methods of managing these resources, such
as card catalogs and paper records, are often inefficient and prone to errors. An LMS is
motivated by the need to automate and streamline these processes, reducing the time and
effort required for cataloging, tracking, and managing library materials. This efficiency is
crucial for maintaining an organized and accessible collection.

2. Enhancing User Experience

In an era where digital technology has transformed user expectations, library patrons
increasingly demand seamless and user-friendly services. An LMS can significantly enhance
user experience by providing intuitive interfaces for searching the catalog, placing holds,
renewing loans, and accessing digital resources. Improving user satisfaction and engagement
is a primary motivation, as it directly impacts the library's ability to serve its community
effectively.

1.6 Significance of the Study

The significance of studying and implementing a Library Management System (LMS)

encompasses several important aspects:

1. Enhanced Efficiency:
o Automation: Automates routine library tasks such as cataloging, check-outs,
and returns, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.
o Speed: Speeds up various processes, such as searching for books, managing
inventory, and generating reports, which improves overall library efficiency.

2. Improved User Experience:

o Accessibility: Provides a user-friendly interface for both library staff and
patrons, making it easier to search for and manage library resources.
o Convenience: Offers features such as online catalog access, reservation of
books, and automated notifications, enhancing the convenience for library
users.

3. Effective Resource Management:

52
 o Inventory Control: Helps in tracking the library’s collection accurately,
including monitoring the availability of books and managing the acquisition
and disposal of resources.
o Data Management: Facilitates the organized storage of data related to library
resources and user interactions, aiding in better decision-making and planning.

4. Enhanced Data Accuracy and Reporting:

o Record Keeping: Ensures accurate and up-to-date records of books, user
transactions, and other library data.
o Reporting: Provides comprehensive reporting tools for generating usage
statistics, financial reports, and other analyses to support library management.

5. Scalability and Flexibility:

o Adaptability: Can be scaled to accommodate a growing number of users or
an expanding collection of resources, ensuring that the library system remains
effective as needs change.
o Customization: Allows for customization and integration with other systems
or tools to meet specific library needs and preferences.

1.7 Project Layout

The project layout for designing and implementing a Library Management System typically
includes the following phases:

1. Project Planning:
o Define Objectives: Clearly outline the goals and objectives of the LMS
project.
o Scope: Determine the scope of the project, including features and
functionalities to be included.
o Resources: Identify required resources such as hardware, software, and
personnel.
o Timeline: Develop a project timeline with milestones and deadlines.

2. Requirements Gathering:

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.0

2.1 Introduction

Library is regarded as the brain of any institutes, of course many institute understand
the importance of the library to the growth of the institute and their esteem users which
we categorically call the students. Anintegrated library system, also known as a
library management system (Adamson et al., 2008) is an enterprise resource planning
system for a library, used to track items owned, orders made, bills paid, and users who have
borrowed. The Library Management System is a Library Management software for
monitoring and controlling the transactions in a library (Ashutosh and Ashish., 2012).
Library Management System supports the general requirement of the library such as the
acquisition, cataloguing, circulation and other sections. Before the advent of computer in
modern age there are different methods of keeping records in the library. Records are kept
in the library on shelves and each shelf are labelled in an alphabetical or numerical order,
in which the categories of books available are arranged on different position on the shelves
and as well are recorded on the library manuscript and when any book is to be referenced
the manuscript is being referred to, to know the position of suchrequired book by the
person that requested for the book.After the invention of computer

52
different researchers have carried out various approach on an automated library

management system in which this project is as well all about.

The first library management system to be reviewed is the KOHA library

management system. Since the original implementation in 1999, KOHA functionality has

been adopted by thousands of libraries worldwide, each adding features and

functions, deepening the capability of the system. With the 3.0 release in 2005, and the

integration of the powerful Zebra indexing engine, KOHA became a viable, scalable

solution for libraries of all kinds. LibLime KOHA is built on this foundation. With its

advanced feature set, LibLime KOHA is the most functionally advanced open source

Integrated Library System in the market today. The major setback of this Library

Management System is that it is a web based and as a result it is not security conscious

because hackers could have the database hacked and access or modify the information of

such user. (www.koha.org). Another Library Management System is the Capital’s library

software with the following benefits Increases support available for staff and users in

any modern library service, provides efficiency, innovative system that’s saves library

timeand improves the user experience. A library management system usually comprises

a relational database, software to interact with that database, and two graphical user

interfaces (one for users, one for staff). Most integrated library systems, separate software

functions into discrete programs called modules, each of them integrated with a unified

interface.

Examples of modules might include:

i. Acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials)

ii. Cataloguing (classifying and indexing materials)

iii. Circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving them back)

iv. Serials (tracking magazine and newspaper holdings)

52
 v. The OPAC (public interface for users)

A library management system usually comprises a relational database, software to

interact with that database, and two graphical user interfaces (one for users, one for

staff). Most Library Management System separate software functions into discrete

program called modules, each of them integrated with a unified interface. Prior to

computerization, library tasks were performed manually and independently from one

another. Selectors ordered materials with ordering slips, cataloguers manually catalogued

items and indexed them with the card cataloguing system (in which all bibliographic data

was kept on a single index card), and users signed books out manually, indicating their

name on cue cards which were then kept at the circulation desk. Early mechanization came

in 1936, when the University of Texas began using a punch card system to manage library

circulation. While the punch card system allowed for more efficient tracking of loans,

library services were far from being integrated, and no other library task was affected by

this change. The literature study in previous system could give more reference in system

development process. All the advantages in the previous system can be implemented during

the development of this proposed system. This chapter entails the literature review related

to Library Management System initiatives worldwide, at national, regional and

international levels. Secondary data will be searched from print and online resources.

Foreign literatures will be mainly used and some of these had been highlighted to peruse

and emulate. The purpose of this literature review is to establish the potential topics and

suggest ideas for another research, reporting published materials on existing conceptual

framework, theories, techniques, processes, styles and instruments of other researchers

related to the topic under investigation. It will help analyse scope of study and in

determining the various variables to be included. As for this research, the main purpose of

literature review will be to grasp comprehensive ideas on the extent of library management

system initiatives and projects that had taken place worldwide and the factors and conditions
52
that had influenced and contributed to their success. The approach to literature review is the

browse method where print and electronic sources were looked at, read and digested,

looking for some relevancy, appropriateness and usefulness of the topic at hand.

Predetermined keywords to be used during this search are library, virtual library, e-

library, hybrid library, library management initiatives, library management problems,

library management research, library services,

resource sharing, distributed information resources, online databases, library automation,

library systems, mobile information access, information professionals, librarian, global

access, repositories and interoperability, management systems, library integrated system,

database system administration (DBSA). As the research involves qualitative data as well,

researches will be made at the initial stage of the research making enquires to get as

much primary data as possible from as many librarians as possible whenever there is

opportunities to understand the subject better and helped in the formulation of the research

questions. The literature review will be about development of library management

system which is organized into the following sections namely Introduction,Features of

Library Management, Why we need library management system, A Review of Problems

and Challenges of Library Professionals in Developing Countries, Library Management

System Initiatives Worldwide (review of library management system).

2.2 Development of Library Management System

A library management system is a system for a library resource planning, used to access

the documents held, orders, payment or lending all made by the clients. Sometime, a phrase

like library integrated system is employed, especially in the UK. Cynthia Lopta

defines the integrated system as an automated system in which all the functional modules

share the same bibliographic database. Integration as a concept is most usually found in

biblioteconomy. It became a landmark over 20 years ago, and it has grown into an almost

52
synonym for integrated system. Sometimes, integrated refers to a system in which the

library functions are processed in a main bibliographic file. By the mid to late 2000s,

library management system vendors not only the number of services offered but also

their prices leading to some dissatisfaction among many smaller libraries. At the same

time open source Integrated Library System was in its early stages of testing. Some

libraries began to such open source integrated library system as KOHA and Evergreen. Most

reasons noted from these were to avoid vendor lock in, license fees and participate in

software development. The much needed freedom from vendors also allowed libraries

to prioritize need according to urgency, as opposed to what their vendor can offer. Recently,

libraries which have moved to open source integrated library system have found that

vendors are more likely to provide quality service in order to continue a partnership since

they are no longer having the power of owing the Integrated Library System software and

tying down libraries to strict contracts. This has been the case with the SC LENDS

consortium. Following the success of Evergreen for the Georgia PINES library

consortium, the South Carolina States Library along with some local public libraries

formed the SCl LENDS cibsirtuyn in order to share resource and to take advantage of the

open source nature of the Evergreen Integrated Library System to meet their specific needs.

By October 2011, just two years after SC LENDS began operations, thirteen public

library systems across 15 counties had already joined the consortium in addition to

the south Caroline State Library. Librarytechnology.org does an annual survey of over

1,500 libraries and noted in 2008, 2 % of those who surveyed use the Integrated Library

System, in 2009 the number increased to 8 % and in 2 0 1 0 ( most recent year available)

1 2 % of the libraries polled had adopted open source Library Management System. Library

project system that offers many flexible and convenient features, allowing librarians and

library users to maximize time and efficiency. Library system gives all the detailed

52
information about students, staffs and books, it will track the books available in the

library and the books that have been issued to the library users (students). It shows

popular books among the students. It will provide book lost in the library. It keeps records

of the supplier and the book binders.

2.3 Features of library management

i. Manage Book and Member Record with help of Barcode.

ii. Acquisitions: With library Management software, Acquisitions function

as generate Purchase order, Cancel Purchase Order , Reminder Purchase

order , Receive Purchase Order , Invoice and instantly available in Reports .

Data can besearch by feeding Purchase Order number, Invoice number, and

Supplier name.

iii. Circulation: library manangement software enable the complete management of

multiple item issue and return of book using manuel or barcode scanner.

iv. Barcode:Use of Bar Codes for Library Management eases the everyday tasks of big

libraries, where the number of transaction exceed serveral thousands in

number. Moreover, the software can work even without Bar Codes seamlessly. The Bar-

code generation and printing process is a Built-In feature of this software.

v. OPAC:Library management software admin/Member can easily search book

author, Title, Accession No, Publication, and Language also admin can filter data
with category wise.

vi. Facility for User to suggest items:User suggestion and request for purchasing a new
item is handled by the software itself reducing the administrator’s task.

vii. Alert through Email:Admin can send mail to members, vendors, or any other

people from the software.

52
viii. Multiple Library Setup: Library management software can setup at different
locations.

ix. Export All Report into Excel, Word:Admin can take all the details which are

displayed in the reports into excel and word file.

x. Handles donated items, free items and keep track of donors:Some library items are free or
some person donates the item. So library management software keep track of those items.

xi. Provide Multi User environment:Library management software gives facility of multi
user environment. Multiple users can login at the same time in the Library management
software.

xii. Maintain Any Media:one can define a number of things that one wants to keep
track of as well as can maintain different kinds of media like Book, CD, File
Documents, Video Cassette, and Audio Cassette. Also one can maintain media
with its own specifications rather than common and define the specification you
want for that media, for book (pages, ISDN number, type, volume).

xiii. Powerful Search Engine

xiv. Custom Field Indices:Library Software provides sorted data on required fields by
clicking on the column header that is if clicked on publisher the data will be sorted on
publisher.

xv. Lock System:Lock the subject or group of the member, so that media can't be issued

which falls under this criteria. One can in this way restrict the issuing of the media.

xvi. Circulation:Easy operation of circulation by entering the code of media, get all the

information related to the media and the number. (Name, group, media type).

xvii. Easy Navigation and Updating: Selecting an option from the given menu provides all
the data related to that option in tabular format in a user friendly manner.

xviii. Auto Filter & Auto Search: On each master form, Library Software will search on the
field where your cursor is and what you type is taken as a search value.

52
xix. Customize:one can customize the system to feel easier for data entry also while
adding records user can keep form in ‘add’ mode. Define holidays and set the criteria of issuing
the book if member is requested for media or not.

xx. Scrap-Type:Define their own scrap type for scraping the media. Provides scrap runner

utility to record the umber of scrap media.

2.4
Needs for library management system

i. Improved customer services through greater access to accurate information

ii. Increased productivity and job satisfaction among staff members as it eliminates

duplication of effort.

iii. More economical and safer means of storing and keeping of information

Easier access to information like management reports and stock etc. as well
iv.
as accurate and faster results from statistical analyses

v. Reduces errors and eliminating of ennui of long and repetitive manual processing

vi. Greater accountability and transparency in operations

vii. Improved efficiency and effectiveness in administration and management as it

has unprecedented access to real-time information.

viii. More reliable security for sensitive and confidential information.

ix. Appropriate knowledge -based action and intervention can now take place in a

timelier manner.

2.5 Library management system initiatives worldwide

Neelakadan, Duraisekar, Balasubramani, and Srinivasa, (2010) in their study developed

a system using KOHA Open source software to develop an updated database of books
52
and other resources of the school of Chemistry Library, Bharathidasan University to

implement automated system using KOHA library integrated Open source software to

carry out the charging and discharging functions of the circulation section more effectively

which provide various search options to know the availability of books in the library to

generate the list of books due by a particular member and also the overdue charges. KOHA

is being said to be an integrated software system with all the required models for small

to very large libraries (Neelakandan et al., 2010). The outcome of the system they

developed has: Chemistry library collections that are in single database, it gives the full

control over the library collections and operations, faculty members search and research

scholars can check the required books by OPAC modules, research scholars and

faculty members can check the status of their borrowed books, they can get the

complete details about the books for their further reading and research, data entry of

the books can be done through the downloading of bibliographic details from the library

of congress and other catalogues and other catalogues and the library system developed can

share their data with various library and other department in the libraries.

The limitations of his research was based on:

i. Lack of Infrastructure facility

ii. Lack of Environment support

iii. Lack of Financial Resources

Koy yeeh keat, (2011)in his research developed a library management system which could

be mainly used by member and staff of the library. The system allows members search for

books and reserve books through website so that they can save their time and cost to travel

from one place to another to use the library as well as know what the book entails in the

library. In the system developed, staffs can also be able to add news and also view

reports with several criteria as well as add, edit and delete news. The system developed

52
was aimed at allowing users to reserve books via online, to convenient user

borrowing books via online, implementing email technologies to the website,

implementing SMS technologies to the system, designing a friendly graphical interface

which would suit the users.

In the designing of the system, various modules were considered which are the:

i. Authorization and authentication module

ii. Member/staff module

iii. Search module

iv. Books maintenance module

v. News maintenance module

vi. Email module

vii. Report modules

viii. Publisher maintenance module

ix. Employee maintenance module etc.

The software used in the research entails the use of Microsoft products like the

Microsoft visual studio 2008 for the website development and ASP.NET with C# as the

programming language used having the Microsoft SQL server 2008 as the database.

Mainly the software and hardware requirement used in his research were:

i. Operating system: windows 7 professional

ii. Database: MYSQL server 2008

iii. Development tools and programming language: Microsoft visual studio 2008 and

VB.NET

iv. Processor: Intel core i2 duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00 GHz

v. Ram: 2 GB
52
The methodology used in the research was the waterfall model which entails the

system planning, requirement analysis, system design, programming, system testing and

the evaluation.

Ashutosh Tripathi, and Ashish was

Srivastaval, (2012) developed a system which is a

library management software for monitoring controlling the transactions in a library. In

their study they came up with a Library Management System which was developed in java

and mainly focuses on basic operations in a library like adding new member, new books,

and updating new information, searching books and members and facility to borrow and

return books. The system these two developed an automated Library Management System.

In which through the software user can add members, add books, search members,

search books, update informatin, edit information,borrow and return books in quick time. The

system they are developed has the following advantages. User friendly interface, fast access to

database, less error, more storage capacity, search facility, Look and Feel Environment. All

the manual difficulties in managing the Library were rectified by implementing

computerization. The software which was designed can help users maintain and

organize library making the software very easy to use for both beginners and advanced users.

The system requirement for the research entails how the library management system that

was designed can be used in windows 98 Windows2000, Windows XP and Windows

NT, supported for other platform such as Applet Macintosh and UNIX. The system was

made to run on Windows 98 or Windows NT4.0 operating system and met the following

hardware requirements.

i. For Windows 95 based computers, a 486 / 66 MHz or higher processor with 8MB

ii. For Windows 98 based computers, a 500/88MHz or higher processor with 32 Mb of

R AM

52
 iii. For Windows NT based computers, a 488 / 66 MHz or higher processor with 16

MB of RAM

iv. For Windows 200 based computers, a 700/850 MHz or higher processor with 512
MB of RAM
At the end of his research the combination of all the web pages he designed

resulted in a web application named Library Management System, which works

as online library. Several user friendly coding were also adopted. Prabhakar kumar,

Rahul Kumar,Rajat Singh and Vikram Singh, (2014)developed a library

management system which aims in developing a computerized system to

maintain all the daily work of library. By the virtue of their research work, the

system developed entails many features which are generally not available in normal

library management systems like facility of user login and a facility of teacher’s

login. The system developed also has a facility of admin login through which the

admin can monitor the whole system etc. the objectives of the system developed

was aimed at:

i. Improvement in control and performance.

ii. Save cost.

iii. Save time.

iv. Option of online Notice board where Librarian will be able to provide a

detailed description of workshops going in the college as well as in nearby colleges etc.

The software and hardware requirement in the designing of the system were:

i. Operating system- Windows 7

ii. Database - MYSQL-MYSQL

iii. Development tools and Programming language- HTML was used to write the

whole code and develop webpages with CSS, java script for styling work and PHP

for sever side scripting.

52
 iv. Intel core i5 2nd generation is used as a processor

v. Ram 1 GB

Sarawut Markchit, (2015) developed a system to identify the problem and obtain

necessary requirements data from the librarians, analyse the obtain data, design and develop

the system and conduct an assessment or survey from the users of library resources

service through website and mobile system with service with regards overall performance of

Suratthani Rajabhat University Central Library. Sarawut Markchit system was able to

acquire material as quickly as possible, maintain a high level of accuracy in all work

procedures, and keep work processes simple, in order to achieve the lowest possible unit

cost and develop close, friendly working relationships with other library units and

vendors.

In his methodology he was able to make use qualitative methods using structured

interviews. Information were being gathered by the virtue of this. The system was developed

using some instruments used for the development which were visual studio. NET(ASP.NET)

for web-based appllication, HTML5 for mobile application, web service for data

communication with the component and component and connected to staff system of this

university, microsoft SQL server for database management and longest matching algorithm

for data retrieval.

2.5 Review of Problems and Challenges of Library Professionals in

Developing Countries

New
tools of information technology have absolutely changed the role & responsibilities

of librarians. A number of studies have been conducted to explore the problems faced

by librarians. Given section reviews the studies conducted at International level in general

and particularly in developing countries to investigate the problems confronted by the

52
librarians. Adomi and Anie, (2006) in their research on computer literacy skills of

professionals in Nigerian University libraries concluded that most of the professionals do

not poses high level of computer skill and their use of computer and technology is

still maturing. They recommended that library management and leaders should

organize and offer in-house computer training programmes for librarians and enough

computers should be provided in this regard.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

3.1 Analysis of Existing System

The existing system of library management system involves lots and lots of paper work.

The system involves that all library user details will be taken on a white and black

method. To borrow book from a library a borrower information is being taken for every

registered user and can actually sign out for return of the book once he/she is completed.

52
3.2 Problems of existing system

Having have the overview knowledge of the existing system, the following are its problem

I. Loss of Data: A lot of paper works are needed for the safe keeping of the details
of books borrowed by a registered user
II. Time Wasting: User time are wasted as a result of searching for a book that has
been borrowed by a user whose record cannot be traced on the paper records.

iii. Error Prone: The existing system of operation is prone to error.

iv. Tedious: It is tedious because it must take a routine

vi. Processing Speed: The processing speed is very low resulting into low output.

3.3 DESIGN OF THE NEW SYSTEM

The library management system is a desktop based application system used by

an administrator (Librarian) as an alternative means of record keeping of the books stored in

the library. It has the following features.

i. The administrator registers the applicant with their name as the first and last

name, matriculation number, department etc. and a username is being suggested by

the user alongside a login password which is to be used for log in by the registered

user.

ii. An applicant is allowed to log into the system with his name and generated password

which is given at the point of registration. The administrator goes into the report to view the

details of a particular user.

3.1. Input Specification

 CHAPTER FIVE

5.0 SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Summary

The quest to make life easier and processing faster has led to computerization of

various processes. Computer technology has transformed so many sectors especially the

Educational sector in no small measure. In an effort to foster technology driven

education, a Library Management System has been developed to manage all library

operations such as borrowing, returning of books etc.

5.2 Conclusion

In conclusion, from proper analysis and assessment of the designed system it can be

safely concluded that the system is an efficient, usable and reliable Library Management

System. It is working properly and adequately meets the minimum expectations that were for

it initially. The new system is expected to give benefits to the users and staff in terms of

efficiency in the usage of library system

5.3 Recommendation

For further research work to be carried out. I hereby suggest the following

i. University Library should be developed to work on any platform.

ii. Diagrammatic representation as a lecturing aid should be included in a

UniversityLibrary.

iii. University library lecturing should also be extended to other field of study such as

chemistry, english biology agricultural science and many others.
