Library management system project report II..pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of Library Management Pro system is to provide a medium for the public libraries to computerize their entire functioning and would contribute as a first step in digitalizing their libraries!
As till now in India, public libraries (medium and small scale) had their entire records on paper which again required maintenance and the problem of finding relevant information proved to be a herculean task. Even if the required information was found it was usually at cost of much valuable time.
Library Management Pro would not only simplify this process but also speedup the entire functioning of the library. It will also contribute towards increasing the efficiency of the library as a whole, right from the data entry to maintaining the historical records.
One major purpose is to provide user or the library members the opportunity to not only search through the books but to reserve books that are issued by other users and also request newer books.
This document provides a high-level summary of a proposed library management system project. It begins with an overview of the project goals, stakeholders, and methodology. Requirements gathering involved understanding the needs and processes of the target libraries. Feasibility studies identified problems with manual systems like slow reporting. The system aims to automate checking books in/out, searching, and tracking borrowing. Modules, use cases, actors, and functional/non-functional requirements are defined. The project estimates 6,600 lines of code and costs based on LOC.

Many commercial products are available. However, many
institutions may not be able to afford the cost of using
commercial products. Therefore, an alternative solution in
such situations would be open source software. This paper is
focusing on reviewing open source library management
system packages currently available. The review will focus
on the abilities to perform four basic components which are
traditional services, interlibrary load management, managing
electronic materials and basic common management system
such as security, alert system and statistical reports. In
addition, environment, basic requirement and supporting
aspects of each open source package are also mentioned.
Library management systems

Need of LMS
A Library management system is a
software that uses to maintain the
record of the library. It contains work like
the number of available books in the
library, the number of books are issued
or returning or renewing a book or late
fine charge record, etc. Library
Management Systems is software that
helps to maintain a database that is
useful to enter new books & record
books borrowed by the members, with
the respective submission dates.
Moreover, it also reduces the manual
record burden of the librarian.
10. A library management system is the most proficient and easy to use
system for managing all the processes involved in a Library in the most
effective ways.
This system will reduce all the manual work and the whole process can be
managed just through single clicks and edits.
There will be no headache and doubtfulness of storing the data securely
and searching the records of any individual afterward.
Any book seeker can rent a book just by signing in with their details, and
return it with the date of returning.
It reduces the manual paperwork through it and gives proper information of
books has been recorded automatically.
Librarian can update the information of books and manage availability and
arriver record of the books.
It saves human efforts and time.
Advantages of LMS
