 LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
The project titled Library Management System is Library Management software for monitoring and
controlling the transactions in a library .The project “Library Management System” is developed in
php, which mainly focuses on basic operations in a library like adding new books, and updating new
information, searching books and members and return books.

This project of “LIBRARY MANAGEMENT” of gives us the complete information about the
library. We can enter the record of new books and retrieve the details of books available in the
library. We can issue the books to the students and maintain their records and can also check how
many books are issued and stock available in the library. In this project we can maintain the late fine
of students who returns the issued books after the due date.

Throughout the project the focus has been on presenting information and comments in an easy and
intelligible manner. The project is very useful for those who want to know about Library
Management System.
 LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

1.1 BACKGROUND

Library Management System is an application which refers to library systems which are
generally small or medium in size. It is used by librarian to manage the library using a
computerized system where he/she can record various transactions like issue of books, return
of books, addition of new books, addition of new students etc.

Books and student maintenance modules are also included in this system which would keep
track of the students using the library and also a detailed description about the books a library
contains. With this computerized system there will be no loss of book record or member
record which generally happens when a non-computerized system is used.

In addition, report module is also included in Library Management System. If user’s

position is admin, the user is able to generate different kinds of reports like lists of students
registered, list of books, issue and return reports.

All these modules are able to help librarian to manage the library with more convenience
and in a more efficient way as compared to library systems which are not computerized.

1.2 OBJECTIVES

This project is based on the RDBMS technology; the main objective of this project is to computerize
the manual system & reduce the time consumption.
In other words we can say that our project has the following objectives:-

• Make all the system computerize

• Reduce time consumption
• Reduce error scope
• All system managements are automated
• Centralized database management
• Easy operations for operator of the system
• No paper work requirement
 LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

1.3.1 PURPOSE

A Library Management System (LMS) gives access to and manages the resources in your library. A
well-chosen system will increase your library’s efficiency, save valuable administration time, lead to
a better educational experience for pupils and help develop independent learning.

A typical computerised LMS has the following functions/modules as standard:

 circulation – this not only deals with the borrowing and returning of materials but also renewals, the
management of overdue and user records
 report and statistic generation of various library activities
 administration – so you can configure the system to your school’s own needs e.g. create IDs and
passwords, establish user classes and set loan periods etc
 OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) – this is an online database of all materials held in the
library which is made public so users can search and locate books for reading teaching and
learning purposes The OPAC also lists the number of items available, whether they are in the
library or out on loan, and their call number.

1.3.2 SCOPE

The scope of Online Library Management System includes:

 Create distinct product users based on their roles and permissions.

 Authenticate users at their login.
 Provide the list of books the users can borrow.
 Facility to reserve books that are available.
 A status page for all users to view books reserved by them.
 Facility to cancel the reservation for a book made earlier.
 A status page for all users to view books borrowed by them, their individual due dates and their
individual penalties if any.
 An interface to view and edit the own profile.
 Provide method for adjusting account settings such as passwords.
 Mechanism to reset the password in case user forgets it.
 Providing interface to add or delete books to staffs

SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGIES

FRONT END – HTML

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and
web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, it forms a triad of cornerstone
technologies for the World Wide Web. Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server
or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the
structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the
document.

BOOTSTRAP

BOOTSTRAP is a framework to design websites. I have used Bootstrap because it reduces length of
the program. Suppose, a program is of 50 lines, bootstrap can make it in 15-20 lines. So, it saves
time, space and reduces complexity.

CSS

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a
document written in a markup language like HTML. CSS is a cornerstone technology of the World
Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript.CSS is designed to enable the separation of
presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content
accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics,
enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS in a separate .css file,
and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.

Java Script

JavaScript often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, interpreted programming language. It is a

language which is also characterized as dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based and multi-
paradigm.
 LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

BACK END – PHP

PHP is a scripting language, which is what is needed for interactive websites. Meanwhile, PHP can
work alongside HTML.
MySQL
MySQL here works s Database Management System. Databases are essential component for a
website. PHP & MySQL work hand-in-hand to create quality rich content applications.
Overall, the project is made up of compatible languages. Front End & Back End, both work
hand-in-
hand to make this project successful.
PHP is an open source language and all its components are free to use and distribute. PHP is server-
side scripting language. It is embedded in HTML source code. PHP supports all major web servers
such as Apache, Microsoft IIS and Netscape etc. All the major database such as Mysql, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server is supported by PHP. Following are the some major
advantage:- ▪ Friendly With HTML - PHP and HTML are interchangeable within the page. You can
put PHP outside the HTML or inside. ▪ Interactive Features - PHP allows you to interact with your
visitors in ways HTML alone can't. ▪ Top-Notch Online Documentation - The PHP documentation is
the best on the web. Hands down. ▪ Compatible With Databases - A good benefit of using PHP is
that it can interact with many different database languages including MySQL.

-REQUIREMENTS AND ANALYSIS

3.1 PROBLEM DEFINATION

The problem occurred before having computerized system includes:

File lost when computerized system is not implemented file is always lost because of
human environment. Sometimes due to some human error there may be a loss of records.

File damaged When a computerized system is not there file is always lost due to some accident
like spilling of water by some member on file accidentally. Besides some natural disaster like floods
or fires may also damage the files. Library Management System Division Of Computer Science And
Engineering

Difficult to search record when there is no computerized system there is always a difficulty
in searching of records if the records are large in number

Space consuming after the number of records become large the space for physical storage of
file and records also increases if no computerized system is implemented.

Cost consuming As there is no computerized system the to add each record paper will be
needed which will increase the cost for the management of library

GANTT CHART

 A Gantt chart is a horizontal bar chart used in project management as a tool for

graphically representing the schedule of a set of specific activities or tasks. The

horizontal bars indicate the length of time allocated to each activity, so the x- axis of a
Gantt chart is subdivided into equal units of time, e.g., days, weeks, months. The y-axis
of a Gantt chart, on the other hand, simply lists all the activities or tasks being
monitored by the Gantt char

Analysis

Design
A PERT chart (Program Evaluation and Review Technique chart) is a
project management tool used to visualize the tasks involved in
completing a project. It is a type of flowchart that shows the sequence of
activities, their dependencies, and the time required for each activity.
PERT charts are particularly useful for planning and scheduling complex
projects.

Example:
Imagine you are managing a project with the
following tasks:
1.Task A (2 days)
2.Task B (3 days, depends on Task A)
3.Task C (2 days, depends on Task A)
4.Task D (4 days, depends on Task B and Task C)
In a PERT chart:
•Task A starts first.
•Task B and Task C branch off from Task A.
•Task D starts only after Task B and Task C are
completed.

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

 A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data
through an information system.
 DFDs can also be used for the visualization of data processing (structured
design).
 It views a system as a function that transform the input into desired output.

OBJECT ORIENTED DIAGRAM

CLASS DIAGRAM:
A class diagram is an illustration of the relationships and source code
dependencies among classes in the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
In this context, a class defines the methods and variables in an object,
which is a specific entity in a program or the unit of code representing
that entity. Class
Diagrams are useful in all forms of object-oriented programming (OOP).

4.2.1 SCHEMA DESIGN

A database system is an overall collection of different database software components and

database containing the parts viz. Database application programs, front-end components,
Database Management Systems, and Databases.

Normalization

Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database. This includes creating tables
and establishing relationships between those tables according to rules designed both to
protect the data and to make the database more flexible by eliminating redundancy and
inconsistent dependency. Redundant data wastes disk space and creates maintenance
problems .If data that exists in more than

one place must be changed , the data must be changed in exactly the same way in all
locations. A buyer’s or promoter’s address change is much easier to implement if that data
is
stored only in the buyer’s or promoter’s table and nowhere else in the database. There are a
few rules for database normalization. Each rule is called a “normal form

Data structuring is defined through a process called normalization. Data are grouped in the
simplest way possible so that later changes can be made with a minimum of impact on the
data structure.

There are different forms of normal forms

• First normal form(1NF)
• Second normal form(2NF)

• Third normal form(3NF)

• Boyce code normal form(BCNF)
• Fourth Normal form(4NF)
• Fifth Normal Form(5NF)

4.3.1 LOGIC DIAGRAM:-

The diagram control is used for creating diagrams like flow charts, organizational charts, mind
maps, floor plans, and swim lane diagrams either through code or through a visual interface.

Nodes

Nodes are used to host graphical objects like paths and controls that can be arranged and
manipulated on a diagram page.

Many predefined standard shapes are included.

 Custom shapes can also be created and added easily.

 A node’s appearance can be fully customized.

 A node’s UI can also be templated and re-used across multiple nodes.

Connectors :-

The relationship between two nodes is represented using a connector. Multiple instances of
nodes and connectors form a diagram.
