TABLE OF CONTENTS

2. INTRODUCTION
In this project, we use MySQL, a widely adopted RDBMS, which provides powerful
tools for managing complex library data such as book details, user information, and
transaction histories. SQL (Structured Query Language) enables communication
with the database to perform various tasks such as inserting, updating, and retrieving
data.
A library plays a critical role in supporting the academic and intellectual needs of
students and staff. However, managing a large inventory of books and keeping track
of user activity can be daunting without a digital solution. The LMS enables libraries
to automate repetitive tasks, maintain up-to-date records, and improve the user
experience through intuitive features.
3. EXISTING SYSTEM
viii
In the existing system, most library operations are handled manually using registers
or spreadsheets. Book records, issue and return transactions, and user information
are documented by hand, which often leads to inefficiency and inconsistencies.
Manual systems also struggle to scale as the library grows. Book losses, duplicate
entries, and delayed updates are frequent issues in traditional systems.
4. PROPOSED SYSTEM
4.1 Overview
ix
Role-based access for admin and users
This system will be developed using HTML for structure, CSS for styling, JavaScript
for interactivity, and SQL for database operations.

5. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
This project follows the Waterfall Model, a linear and sequential development
process where each phase must be completed before moving to the next. The five
primary phases are:
1. Requirement Analysis – Collecting and documenting all the needs of the users
and the library staff.
3. Implementation – Writing the actual code in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL.
4. Testing – Ensuring that all modules work correctly both individually and together.
x
5. Deployment and Maintenance – Installing the system and providing ongoing
updates or bug fixes.
