Database System
Project Title:
BookWise: Online Library Management Database Project

Mission Statement: Our mission is to create a strong and accessible database system fitted for
the BookWise Online Library Management platform. BookWise will serve as the foundation for
efficient organization, retrieval, and management of library resources in the digital space, ensuring a
seamless and enriching experience for users.

Mission Objectives:
1.Centralizing & Optimizing: Design and implement a database schema optimized for online library
operations, covering entities such as books, authors, users, transactions, and administrative
functions.

2.User-Friendly Features: Develop data models that support essential features like online catalog
search, user account management, digital lending, and event scheduling.

3.Speedy Searches: Employ indexing and caching techniques to enhance search performance and
reduce latency, facilitating quick access to library resources.

4.Integrate security: Security measures like user authentication, authorization, and data encryption
to protect sensitive information and ensure user privacy.

5.Ready for Anything: Enable scalability and flexibility in database architecture to accommodate the
growing volume of digital assets(books etc), users, and transactions over time.

Overall Scope: The BookWise Online Library Management Database Project is all about creating
a super-smooth database system designed for online library. This includes designing database tables,
defining relationships, implementing data access methods, and ensuring data integrity and security.

Resources:
• Human Resources: Database administrators, data architects, SQL developers, project
managers to make this happen.
• Technological Resources: We’ll be using software “MySQL” for our database along with
database modeling tools, SQL scripting tools.
• Financial Resources: Budget allocation for software licenses, cloud space, and personnel
expenses.
• Data Resources: Digital library assets (books, e-books, audiobooks), user profiles, transaction
logs, event data, metadata.
Roles:
• Database Administrator: Responsible for database design, configuration, optimization, and
maintenance.
• Data Architect: They designs the database schema, tables, relationships, and indexing
strategies based on system requirements so everything fit together just right.
• SQL Developer: Setting up ways for the system to find information, perform tasks, and
respond to events using the database.
• Project Manager: Oversees project planning, resource allocation, progress tracking, and
keeping everything in the loop.

Data Collection for making Database:

Data collection for the online library system means bringing in information from library catalogs, user
lists, and records of transactions. It also involves gathering new data from things like user actions,
adding new content, and administrative tasks done on the online platform.

There are some questions, advice & queries etc., that helps to take a view how the database should
be created:

• "What details should we keep about each book?"

Ans: We should keep track of things like the title, author, ISBN number, genre, when it was
published, and a short description of what it's about.

• "How would you like to structure your online library management database?"
Ans: We want a database that can store details about books, authors, users, borrowing, and
admin tasks. It should be easy to search, secure, and let users log in securely. Also, it should grow
with us and connect with other systems.

• “What information is required to create user account?”

Ans: It should include name, username, password, email address and contact information.

• “What should be roles and permissions in the database(library)?”

Ans: Yes, there should be different roles (admin, regular user, patron etc.) and permissions like
limit access for each user.

• “What data needs to be tracked for each user borrowing transactions?”

Ans: It should include user id, book id, due date, return date etc.

• “How will be the copyright of the data will be managed on this digital platform?”
Ans: Copyright of data in the online library management system is managed through licensing
agreements, access controls, and agreement monitoring to ensure lawful usage, supported by
DRM (Digital rights management) technologies and legal guidance.
Limitations
The limitations of an online library management database include organizing and connecting
information about books, authors, users, and borrowing records. It's about making sure data is
accurate, secure, and easy to find. This involves setting up rules for how data is stored, accessed, and
protected. It also involves limit user access to our data of database.

Requirements
The requirements for online library management include features like user authentication,
cataloging books, managing user accounts, handling borrowing and returning processes, ensuring
data security, and providing user support. Additionally, it involves maintaining the digital
infrastructure and communication channels for feedback.

ERD (Entity-Relationship Diagram): The Entity-Relationship Diagram visually represents

the structure of the online library management database, illustrating the relationships between
entities such as books, authors, users, transactions, and administrative functions. It serves as a
blueprint for database design, facilitating communication among developers, administrators, and
patrons involved in the project.
