INTRODUCTION

Library Management System

The library management system is the software to keep the transaction happened in the library. It avoids tedious and time-consuming manual system of the library. It provides the features such as to keep the records of books, issue books and so on.

Library is the place where information and books are stored. It is the place where people from all fields uses the books and information required for them. But for that purpose since long time the manual system was followed during operation using the library card. But with the increasing demands of technology in various fields are forcing to stop the manual system in library operation. So to fulfill the increasing demands of the people library management software has been developed.

Library Management System

EXISTING SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The existing system was manual system to keep the transaction happened in the library. All the transaction must be manually recorded which was time consuming and tedious. It was also not reliable. The current system is using the traditional method for daily activities, where the librarian had to handle most of the activities manually as it takes a long time.

In the real world the data are stored in the register books they categorized data as static & dynamic data. The data that are updated frequently falls under dynamic and the one which is stable falls under the static one. Here we have tried to implement the manual system into the computer based system as it overcome most of the flow of the manual system.
