Abstract:

Online Library Management System is a system which maintains the information

about the books present in the library, their authors, the members of library to
whom books are issued, library staff and all. This is very difficult to organize
manually. Maintenance of all this information manually is a very complex task.
Owing to the advancement of technology, organization of an Online Library
becomes much simple. The Online Library Management has been designed to
computerize and automate the operations performed over the information about the
members, book issues and returns and all other operations. This computerization of
library helps in many instances of its maintenances. It reduces the workload of
management as most of the manual work done is reduced

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

This chapter gives an overview about the aim , objectives ,background and operation
environment of the system.

1.1 PROJECT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The project aims and objectives that will be achieved after completion of this project are
discussed in this subchapter. The aims and objectives are as follows:
• Online book reading.
• A search column to search availability of books.
• Facility to download required book.
• Video tutorial for students.
• An Admin login page where admin can add books, videos or page sources
• Open link for Learning Websites
 6

1.2 BACKGROUND OF PROJECT

E-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 add new books, videos and Page sources.

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.

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.

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.

2.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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.
 8

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.

• 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.

2.1.2 SYSTEM OBJECTIVES

• Improvement in control and performance

 The system is developed to cope up with the current issues and problems of library 

.The system can add user, validate user and is also bug free.

• Save cost
 9

After computerized system is implemented less human force will be required

to maintain the library thus reducing the overall cost.

• Save time

Librarian is able to search record by using few clicks of mouse and few search
keywords thus saving his valuable time.

• Option of online Notice board

Librarian will be able to provide a detailed description of workshops going in the

college as well as in nearby colleges


• Lecture Notes

Teacher have a facility to upload lectures notes in a pdf file having size not more
than 10mb

2.1.3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

2.1.4 SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

This section describes the software and hardware requirements of the system
2.1.4.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

• Operating system- Windows 7 is used as the operating system as it is stable and

supports more features and is more user friendly

• Database MYSQL-MYSQL is used as database as it easy to maintain and retrieve
records by simple queries which are in English language which are easy to
understand and easy to write.

• Development tools and Programming language- HTML is used to write the whole
code and develop webpages with css, java script for styling work and php for sever
side scripting.
 13

2.1.4.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

 nd
Intel core i5 2 generation is used as a processor because it is fast than
other processors an provide reliable and stable and we can run our pc for
longtime. By using this processor we can keep on developing our project
without any 
 worries.
 Ram 1 gb is used as it will provide fast reading and writing capabilities and
will in turn support in processing.

Existing System:

 Early days Libraries are managed manually. It required lot of time to record or to retrieve
the details. The employees who have to record the details must perform their job very
carefully. Even a small mistake would create a lot of problems. Security of information is
very less. Report generations of all the information is very tough task.
 Maintenance of Library catalogue and arrangement of the books to the catalogue is very
complex task. In addition to its maintenance of member details, issue dates and return
dates etc. manually is a complex task.
 All the operations must be performed in perfect manner for the maintenance of the
library with out any degradation which may finally result in the failure of the entire
system.

Proposed System:

To solve the inconveniences as mentioned in the existing system, an Online Library is

proposed. The proposed system contains the following features:

 The students will register them through Online

 Individually each member will have his account through which he can access the
information he needs.

 Book details like authors, number of copies totally maintained by library, present
available number of books, reference books, non-reference books etc. all this
information can be made handy.

 Regarding the members designation, number of books was issued.

 Issue dates and returns of each member is maintained separately and fine charged
if there is any delay in returning the book.

 Administrator can add, update the books.

 Time consuming is low, gives accurate results, reliability can be improved with
the help of security.
 14

2.3 SOFTWARE TOOLS USED

The whole Project is divided in two parts the front end and the back end.

2.3.1 Front end

The front end is designed using of html , Php ,css, Java script

HTML- HTMLorHyper Text Markup Languageis the main markuplanguage for

creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web
browser.HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags
enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags
most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent
empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the
start tag, and the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and
closing tags). In between these tags web designers can add text, further tags,
comments and other types of text-based content. The purpose of a web browser is to
read HTML documents and compose them into visible or audible web pages. The
browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of
the page.HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows
images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It
provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics
for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can
embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of
HTML web pages.

CSS- Cascading Style Sheets(CSS) is a style sheet language used fordescribing

the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. While most
often used to style web pages and interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the
language can be applied to any kind

of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is a cornerstone
specification of the web and almost all web pages use CSS style sheets to describe
their presentation.CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document
 15

content from document presentation, including elements such as the layout,

colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more
flexibility and control in the specification.

of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce

complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for table less
web design).CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different
styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when
read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile
devices. It can also be used to allow the web page to display differently depending
on the screen size or device on which it is being viewed. While the author of a
document typically links that document to a CSS file, readers can use a different
style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the author has
specified. However if the author or the reader did not link the document to a specific
style sheet the default style of the browser will be applied.CSS specifies a priority
scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a
particular element. In this so-called cascade, priorities or weights are calculated and
assigned to rules, so that the results are predictable.

JAVA SCRIPT- JavaScript(JS) is a dynamic computer programminglanguage. It

is most commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow
clientside scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate
asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed. It is also being
used in server-side programming, game development and the creation of desktop
and mobile applications. JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with
dynamic typing and has first-class functions. Its syntax was influenced by C.
JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java, but the two
languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. The key
design principles within JavaScript are taken from

the Self and Scheme programming languages. It is a multiparadigm

language, supporting object-oriented, imperative,
 16

and functional programming styles. The application of JavaScript to use outside

of web pages—for example, in PDF documents, site-specific browsers, and
desktop widgets—is also significant. Newer and faster JavaScript VMs and
platforms built upon them (notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity
of JavaScript for server-side web applications. On the client side, JavaScript
was traditionally implemented as an interpreted language but just-in-time
compilation is now performed by recent (post-2012) browsers.


PHP- PHPis a server-side scripting language designed for webdevelopment but

also used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is now installed on
more than 244 million websites and 2.1 million web servers. Originally created by
Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, the reference implementation of PHP is now produced by
The PHP Group. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it now
stands for PHP: HypertextPreprocessor, a recursive backronym.PHP code is
interpreted by a webserver with a PHP processor module, which generates the
resulting web page: PHP commands can be embedded directly into an HTML
source document rather than calling an external file to process data. It has also
evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can be used

in standalone graphical applications. PHP is free software released under the PHP
License. PHP can be deployed on most web servers and also as a standalone shell
on almost every operating system and platform, free of charge.

MYSQL- MySQL("My S-Q-L", officially, but also called "My Sequel") is (as ofJuly
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
 17

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

5.1 MODULE DESCRIPTION

For Library Management System it is divided into the following Modules:

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
 42

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

1. Test For the admin module

• Testing admin login form-This form is used for log in of administrator of the
system.In this we enter the username and password if both are correct
 43

administration page will open other wise if any of data is wrong it will get
redirected back to the login page and again ask for username and password

• Student account addition- In this section the admin can verify student details
from student academinc info and then only add student details to main library
database it contains add and delete buttons if user click add button data will be
added to student database and if he clicks delete button the student data will be
deleted

• Book Addition- Admin can enter details of book and can add the details to the
main book table also he can view the books requests .






2. Test for Student login module

• Test for Student login Form-This form is used for log in of Student .In this
we enter thelibraryid, username and password if all these are correct student
login page will open other wise if any of data is wrong it will get redirected
back to the login page and again ask for libraryid, username and password.

• Test for account creation- This form is used for new account creation when
student does not fill the form completely it asks again to fill the whole form
when he fill the form fully it gets redirected to page which show waiting for
conformation message as his data will be only added by administrator after
verification.

3. Test for teacher login module-
 44

Test for teacher login form- This form is used for logg in of teacher .In this we enter the username
and password if all these are correct teacher login page will open other wise if any of data is
wrong it will get redirected back to the login page and again ask for username and password.

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

 45

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.
