INTRODUCTION
• Library system is the key branch of any educational institution.
• To reduce paper work, automation of the library system is vital.
• We propose a system to manage and maintain various activities in the
KDU library system.
• There should be a proper order for the activities in the library system.
• KDU is following file based library system. As a result there are many
faults in the system.
PROBLEM
• The existing manual based library system in KDU is not efficient to
satisfy the users.
OBJECTIVES
• To discover the existing lapses in the manual based library system and
critically study the present requi0rements to the KDU library.
• Introduce web based interface and send messages to users through
email or text.
• Test and implement the system at KDU library
• Train the Users and maintain the system

1. Automated Library Systems (ALS)


• Automated Library Systems (ALS) is a British company that has
been involved with computer-based library systems.
• It was started during late 1960s and developed with a special

version in 1999. Galaxy 2000 offers the usual LMS modules but
also has a separate issuing function for use of the Birmingham’s
housebound service.
Important features of Existing systems
• Technological developments
• Self service
• Messages to users by e-mail or text
• Catalogue record provision
• Use of project management methodologies
• Closer links between LMSs and archives
Limitations of Existing systems
• Expensive
• Difficult to operate
• Took more time to perform its duties
Existing vs. proposed system in KDU

• No login for academics or students where as proposed system will have


the facility.
• Existing system does not have a facility of online reservation of books
whereas proposed system has the facility.
• Existing system does not have any facility of online notice board
• Existing system have no facility to generate student reports as well book
issue reports whereas proposed system provides librarian with a tool to

• Books Details - Title of the Book, Author’s Name,


Publisher, Published Year, ISBN Number,
Process of the System

• The Library Management System automates the basic


library functions to aid in the day-to-day operations of a
library. It supports functions such as issue, return, the very

iii. Twenty four hours accessibility
iv. Better record management
v. Cheaper
vi. Reliable
Resource Requirements

1. Java programming language


2. SQL server to create a database
3. Visual studio.net to develop the interface
Design

The functions of the System

• INSERT: This operation is performed when new data needs to be added


to the system, for e.g. when department purchases a new book, the
book’s entry is inserted in the books database.
• DELETE: This operation clears the existing records in the various
databases. It is used when for e.g. a member leaves college or when
book is disposed of from library. But care must be taken while
performing this operation and permission taken from the head of
library because the system could lose any important data.
• UPDATE: This function updates data in the various records. This
operation is supported by all the three entries: Book, Lecturers,
Student.
• SEARCH: This function is used to search particular data from the
database. This function can search for data related to all the Three entities.
• ISSUE: This operation is used for issuing a book to a member of the library.
For this operation to be successful the member must meet Some criteria
like she should not have issued books to her maximum Limit previously.
• RETURN: Using this operation a member returns the items, which she
loaned, from the library back to it. If the book, which is loaned is not
returned within specified time the member ends up as a defaulter and she
is required to pay fine which is calculated automatically by the software.
• DISPLAY: This is used to display each and every record, i.e. record of every
book, lecturers and student in the library.
• EXIT: This takes user out of the application.
