INTRODUCTION The project titled Library Management System is Library Management software for monitoring and controlling the transactions in a library .The project Library Management System, which mainly focuses on basic operations in a library like adding new books, and updating new information, searching books and members and return books. This project of LIBRARY MANAGEMENT of gives us the complete information about the library. We can enter the record of new books and retrieve the details of books available in the library. We can issue the books to the students and maintain their records and can also check how many books are issued and stock available in the library. In this project we can maintain the late fine of students who returns the issued books after the due date. Throughout the project the focus has been on presenting information and comments in an easy and intelligible manner. The project is very useful for those who want to know about Library Management System. SYSTEM ANALYSIS EXISTING SYSTEM System and their relationships within and outside of the system. Here the key question iswhat all 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 System Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a program using existing system. During analysis, data collected on the various files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. The success of the system depends largely on how clearly the problem is defined, thoroughly investigated and properly carried out through the choice of solution. A good analysis model should provide not only the mechanisms of problem understanding but also the frame work of the solution. Thus it should be studied thoroughly by collecting data about the system. Then the proposed system should be analyzed thoroughly in accordance with the needs PROPOSED SOLUTION Proposed system is an automated Library Management System. Through this software user can add books, search books, renewal, update information, edit information, and return books in quick time. The proposed system has the following advantages. User friendly interface

 Fast access to database Less error More Storage Capacity Search facility Look and Feel Environment Quick transaction All the manual difficulties in managing the Library have been rectified by implementing computerization.

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM A data flow diagram, also known as bubble chart has the purpose of clarifying system requirements and identifying major transformation that will become programs in system design. It is a graphic representation of a system or portion of system. A DFD consists of a series of bubbles joined by lines. It consists of data flows, processes, sources, destinations and stores all described through the use of easily understood symbols. An entire system can be described from the viewpoint of the data it processes with only four symbols. The DFD is also powerful enough to show parallel activities. TYPES OF DATA FLOW DIAGRAM Physical data flow diagram: -Physical data flow diagram is implementation dependent. They show the actual devices, department, people etc. involved in the current system. Logical data flow diagram: -It describes the system independently of how it is actually implemented, that is , they show what takes place, rather than how an activity is accomplished. COMPONENTS OF DATA FLOW DIAGRAM: a) Source or Destination: -The source or destination is graphically represented as a rectangle. Source or destination external entities with which the system communicates. A source or destination is a person or a group of persons that are outside the control of the system being modeled. b) Data Flow: -The flow is represented graphically by an arrow into or out of a process. The flow is used to describe the movement of chunks or packet of information from one part of the system to another part. The flow represents data in motion. c) Process: -The process shows a part of the system that transforms input into output. The process is represented graphically as a circle or bubble. d) Data Store: -The data store is used to model a collection of data packet at rest.

The notation of a data store is two parallel lines. Data stores are typically implemented as files or databases in computerized system. Data stores are connected by flow to processes.

INTRODUCTION

The project titled Library Management System is Library Management software for monitoring and controlling the transactions in a library. The project mainly focuses on basic operations in a library like adding new books, and updating new information, searching books and members and return books. This project of LIBRARY MANAGEMENT gives us the complete information about the library. We can enter the record of new books and retrieve the details of books available in the library. We can issue the books to the students and maintain their records and can also check how many books are issued and stock available in the library. In this project we can maintain the late fine of students who returns the issued books after the due date. Throughout the project the focus has been on presenting information and comments in an easy and intelligible manner. The project is very useful for those who want to know about Library Management System.

Objectives:

It is clear that the physical objects from the previous section the member, books, library correspond to entities in the Entity-Relationship model, and the operations to be done on those entities holds, checkouts, and so on correspond to relationships. However, a good design will minimize redundancy and attempt to store all the required information in as small a space as possible.
