3. What we think about a library
System??
 It’s a well organized software Solution for a library.
 It has a Database which is constantly managed and
updated.
 It helps to provide information on any book present
in library to the user who uses it.
 It keeps a track of books issued, returned and added
to the library.
 Allows users to virtually Browse the books without
doing so manually.

5. Cataloging module
Used for the creation, storage, retrieval and
management of bibliographic records and/or
indexes.
Defines the record format used in the database
and provides for authority control author, subject
headings etc.
Usually there are two different interfaces for
search and retrieval of the electronic catalog :
For catalogers that allows them to maintain the
library database (the main cataloging module),
For users that allows them to search and display
the results – the Online Public Access Catalog
(OPAC)

8. USER ENTRY MODULE

9. In Developing an library management system the most
important thing which comes into consideration is user
entry.
In this the main objective is to enter the details of the
students who take the books.
In the user form we should enter the details of the
student into the database.

10. This are some of the screen shots

12. User Name : Specifies the textual name that identifies the user entry.
The user name must be 32 or fewer characters.
Priority :
Assigns a priority to the user entry. If a user has multiple entries, the
system uses the highest priority entry.
Has a user name that matches the user name in the authentication
request.
Allows authentication or authorization when you use a specific
application to connect to the system.
If the authentication and authorization succeeds, you can log in to
the system and monitor or configure the system
associated with the user entry.
If the defined authentication service for the user entry is not
available , the system looks for a lower-priority user entry that
matches the user name and application setting.

14. PROCESS OF ISSUE OF BOOKS
•When a book is requested by the user, the system
immediately searches for the
book in the catalog for availability. When the book is
available, the system automatically prompts for the
users’ Registration number / Registration card. Then
the status of book will be updated in the record and
the user will be handed over with the book

15.  By default Date (dd/mm/yyyy) will be set as current
date.
 1. Select a student either using select class, section &
student or by student search type and mentioning the
student ID.
 2. No. of issued days can be changed if the user wants to
change it. Else it will be set as previously mentioned in
book limit section.
 3. Select add book button to issue the book and a
window get popped up as shown in below figure.

16. SAMPLE INTERFACE FOR ISSUSE OF BOOKS

19. Returning of books module involves following
steps mainly:
1) check your library account online to see that
all items returned are cleared from your
account.
2) Whether the returned book is on the due date
or not.
3) If the book is returned on day, then the book
status is updated in the catalog.

20. 4) If the book is returned late, then the due is to
be calculated on basis of the number of days of
late submission of book

22. CONCLUSION
 An integrated library management system
allows faster, more accurate, complete,
and thorough results for anyone either
researching specific information or
looking for specific or hard to find
publications.
 It also allows for a lighter workload for
library staff and requires less people to
manage it.
