ABSTRACT
Overall this project of ours is being developed to help the students as well as staff
of library to maintain the library in the best way possible and also reduce the
human efforts.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives an overview about the aim , objectives ,background and
operation environment of the system.
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.
CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
In this chapter, we will discuss and analyze about the developing process of Library
Management System including software requirement specification (SRS) and
comparison between existing and proposed system . The functional and non functional
requirements are included in SRS part to provide complete description and overview of
system requirement before the developing process is carried out. Besides that, existing
vs proposed provides a view of how the proposed system will be more efficient than the
existing one.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Library Management System is a computerized system which helps
user(librarian) to manage the library daily activity in electronic format. It reduces
the risk of paper work such as file lost, file damaged and time consuming.
It can help user to manage the transaction or record more effectively and time-
saving.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The problem occurred before having computerized system includes:
File lost
When computerized system is not implemented file is always lost because of human
environment.Some times 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 accdent like spilling of water by some member on file accidentally.Besides
some natural disaster like floods or fires may also damage the files.
RELIABILITY REQUIREMENT
The system should accurately performs member registration ,member validation ,
report generation, book transaction and search
USABILITY REQUIREMENT
The system is designed for a user friendly environment so that student and staff of
library can perform the various tasks easily and in an effective way.
ORGANIZATIONAL REQUIREMENT
IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMNTS
In implementing whole system it uses html in front end with php as server side
scripting language which will be used for database connectivity and the backend ie
the database part is developed using mysql.

being conducted in college and colleges nearby.
Functional requirements
-System should be able to add detailed information about events .
-System should be able to display information on notice board available in the homepage
of site
i. Existing system does not have any facility of teachers login or student login
where as proposed system will have a facility of student login as well as
teacher’s login

proposed system has a facility of online reservation of books
iii. Existing system does not have any facility of online notice board where
description of workshops happening in our college as well as nearby colleges is
being provided.
iv. Existing system does not has any option of lectures notes uploaded by teachers
whereas proposed system will have this facility
v. Existing system does not have any facility to generate student reports as well
book issue reports whereas proposed system provides librarian with a tool to
generate reports
vi. Existing system does not has any facility for book request and sugeestions
where as in proposed system after logging in to their accounts student can
request books as well as provide suggestions to improve library
MYSQL- MySQL ("My S-Q-L", officially, but also called "My Sequel") is (as of
July 2013) the world's second most widely used open-source relational database
management system (RDBMS). It is named after co-founder Michael Widenius
daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language. The
MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety
of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-
profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation
.MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a
central component of the widely used LAMP open source web application
software stack (and other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache,
MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-open source projects that require a
full-featured database management system often use MySQL. For commercial
use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality.
Applications which use MySQL databases
include: TYPO3, MODx, Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, Drupal and other
software. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale websites,
including Wikipedia, Google (though not for searches), Facebook, Twitter,
Flickr, and YouTube

CHAPTER 5
SYSTEM TESTING
The aim of the system testing process was to determine all defects in our project .The
program was subjected to a set of test inputs and various observations were made and based
on these observations it will be decided whether the program behaves as expected or not. Our
Project went through two levels of testing
1.Unit testing
2.integration testing
UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is undertaken when a module has been created and succesfully reviewed .In order
to test a single module we need to provide a complete environment ie besides the module we
would require
The procedures belonging to other modules that the module under test calls
Non local data structures that module accesses
A procedure to call the functions of the module under test with appropriate
parameters
Unit testing was done on each and every module that is described under module description of
chapter 4
INTEGRATION TESTING
In this type of testing we test various integration of the project module by providing the input
.The primary objective is to test the module interfaces in order to ensure that no errors are
occurring when one module invokes the other module.
CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION & FUTURE SCOPE
This website provides a computerized version of library management system which will
benefit the students as well as the staff of the library.
It makes entire process online where student can search books, staff can generate reports and
do book transactions. It also has a facility for student login where student can login and can see
status of books issued as well request for book or give some suggestions. It has a facility of
teacher’s login where teachers can add lectures notes and also give necessary suggestion to
library and also add info about workshops or events happening in our college or nearby college
in the online notice board.
There is a future scope of this facility that many more features such as online lectures video
tutorials can be added by teachers as well as online assignments submission facility , a feature
Of group chat where students can discuss various issues of engineering can be added to this
project thus making it more interactive more user friendly and project which fulfills each users
need in the best way possible
