Introduction

Borrowing books, returning books or viewing the available books at the library of Pune University Computer Science Department (PUCSD) is currently done manually. The student has to go to the Library and check the available books at the Library. Students check the list of books available and borrow the books if the book is available. Then the librarian makes manual entry on the Library card issued to the student and allows the member to check out the book. The searching of booking and maintaining the records becomes difficult due to lack of a database. This project aims to develop an Online Library Management System for PUCSD. This system would be used by members who may be students or professors of the Department to check the availability of the books and borrow the books, and by the librarian to update the databases. The purpose of this document is to analyze and document on a high-level, the need and features of this Online Library System. It focuses on the capabilities and facilities provided by a real Library.

Purpose
The purpose of this Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document is to describe the overall behavior of the Online Library System. This SRS defines and describes the operations, performance, and quality assurance requirements of the Online Library System that is to be developed. This document also describes the nonfunctional requirements . It also describes the design constraints and technologies that are to be considered when the system is to be designed, and other factors necessary to provide a complete description of the requirements for the system. This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) captures the complete software requirements for the system. Requirements described in this document will be used as guidelines to develop the Online Library System.

Scope
The Online Library System that is to be developed provides the members with books information, online booking of books and many other facilities. It gives a real life Library experience on users computers. The Online Library System is supposed to have the following features. The system provides users with accounts , which can be accessed using logins. The system allows the members to view all available books depending upon various aspects. The system allows the members to book the books 24 hours a day and all the through the semester. The system lets the library staff to check which all members have booked the books and whether they can borrow any more books or not. The system allows the Librarian to create the books list, add/delete books and maintain the books list.

The system updates the book inventory as and when the member borrows or returns a book. The book list is automatically updated and the decision of offering the book based on the constraints associated with user account. The system also allows users to write reviews and give ratings so as to share their experiences with other users.

The features that are described in this document will be used in the future phases of the software development cycle. The features described here meet the needs of all the users. The success criteria for the system is based in the level up to which the features described in this document are implemented
