computerized system to maintain all the daily work of library .This project has
many features which are generally not available in normal library management
systems.
In today’s world of technology, education and anything related to it has been
shifted to electronic/computerized environment. So, the papers and manual
system became almost outdated due to its time consuming and inflexibility.

difficult to manage the students order and books booked by them, that’s when
library management systems comes into the plot. Library management system is
a project which aims in developing a computerized system to maintain all the

5. System analysis
Existing System:
System Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a system
and their relationships within and outside of the system.
Here the key question is:
What all the problems exist in the present system? What must be done to solve the
problem? Analysis begins when a user or manager begins a study of the program
using existing system.
In our existing system all the transaction of books are done manually. So taking more
time for transaction like borrowing a book or returning a book and also for searching
of members and books.

6. Another major disadvantage is that to preparing the list of books borrowed and the
available books in the library will take more time, currently it is doing as a one day
process for verifying all records.
So ,
Fast report generation is not possible.
Tracing a book is difficult.
Information about issue/return of the books is not properly maintained.
No central database can be created as information is not available in database.
So it is good to change the manual library management system to be
computerized.
