- 2. INTRODUCTION : •The projecttitled Online Library Management System is Library management web application for monitoring and controlling the transactions in a library. The project "Online Library Management System" is developed in php, which mainly focuses on basic operations in a library like adding new member, new books, and updating new information, searching books and members and facility to borrow and retum books. This project work undertaken in context of partial fulfilment of BCS. We have tried our best to make the complicated process of library management system as simple as possible using structured and modular technique and menu oriented interface. We have tried to design the web application in such a way that user may not have any difficulty in using this package and further expansion is possible without much effort. Even though we cannot claim that this work is entirely to be exhaustive, the main purpose of our exercise is to provide complete detail regarding books and computerized the system a proper manner rather than manually which is time consuming. We are confident about this software package can be readily use by nonprogramming personal avoiding human handled chance of error. "Online Library Management System" is a web application designed to help users maintain and organize library Our is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a familiar and well thought-out, an attractive user interface, combined with strong searching Insertion and reporting capabilities. The report generation facility of library system helps to get a good idea of which are the books borrowed by the members, makes users possible to generate reports hard copy. Library Management System is an web 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 noncomputerized 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.
- 3. ABSTRACT: •The proposed librarymanagement system is a comprehensive software solution designed to streamline library operations, enhance resource allocation, and improve patron experiences. This digital platform integrates various modules for cataloging, circulation, membership management, and reporting, enabling librarians to efficiently manage collections, track patron activity, and make data-driven decisions. The system's user-friendly interface and automated workflows reduce manual errors, free up staff resources, and facilitate seamless access to library materials and services. By leveraging this technology, libraries can modernize their operations, increase patron satisfaction, and support lifelong learning in their communities.
- 4. PROBLEM STATEMENT: •The currentmanual library management system is plagued by inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and a lack of transparency, leading to: •- Inconsistent cataloging and classification of library materials •- Time-consuming and error-prone circulation processes •- Limited accessibility and visibility of library resources •- Inability to generate accurate reports and statistics
- 5. OBJECTIVE To automate libraryoperations and reduce manual errors. To improve the efficiency of library services such as book lending, returns, and cataloging. To provide easy access to library resources and information for users. To enable online search and reservation of books. To track book availability, due dates, and fines.6. To manage user accounts, membership, and circulation.

- 10. ADVANTAGES: Advantages: a) Automation: Automatesroutine tasks, reducing manual errors and freeing up staff time. b) Improved Cataloging: Enhances cataloging and classification of library materials. c) Efficient Circulation: Streamlines borrowing and returning processes. d) Enhanced Patron Experience: Provides easy access to library resources and services. e) Real-time Tracking: Enables real-time tracking of library materials and patron activity. f) Data Analysis: Generates reports and statistics for informed decision-making. g) Increased Accessibility: Offers online access to library resources and services.
- 11. DISADVANTAGES Disadvantages a) High initialcost: Implementing a library management system can be expensive. b) Technical issues: System failures, bugs, and downtime can disrupt library operations. c) Complexity: Staff may need training to effectively use the system. d) Data security risks: Sensitive user data and library records may be vulnerable to cyber threats. e) Dependence on technology: System failures can hinder library services.6. Limited flexibility: Customization options may be limited or costly.
- 12. CONCLUSION Library Management Systemallows the user to store the book details and the customer details. This software package allows storing the details of all the data related to library. The system is strong enough to withstand regressive yearly operations under conditions where the database is maintained and cleared over a certain time of span. The implementation of the system in the organization will considerably reduce data entry, time and also provide readily calculated reports.
