Project Scope
The Software Requirements Specification captures all the requirements in a single document. The Online Library System that is to be developed provides the members of the Library and employees of the library with books information, online blocking of books and many other facilities. The Online Library System is supposed to have the following features. The product provides the members with online blocking of books capabilities and the Online Library System is up and running all day. The system provides logon facility to the users. The system provides the members with the option to check their account and/or change their options like password of the account whenever needed all through the day during the library hours. The system allows the members to block the books 24 hours a day and all the through the semester. The system lets the library staff to check which all members have blocked the books and whether they can borrow any more books or not. The system allows the Librarian to create the books catalog, add/delete books and maintain the books catalog. The system updates the billing system as and when the member borrows or returns a book. The book catalog is automated and the decision of offering the book based on the category of the book is automatically decided. We also have an order department, which manages to add or remove a book from the Library. The features that are described in this document are 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 in the system.

User Documentation
Online help is provided for each of the feature available with the Online Library System. All the applications provide an on-line help system to assist the user. The nature of these systems is unique to application development as they combine aspects of programming (hyperlinks, etc) with aspects of technical writing (organization, presentation). Online help is provided for each and every feature provided by the system. The User Manual describes the use of the system to Librarian and Employees. It describes the use of

the system on mobile systems. The user manual should be available as a hard copy and also as online help. An installation document will be provided that includes the installation instructions and configuration guidelines, which is important to a full solution offering. Also, a Read Me file is typically included as a standard component. The Read Me includes a Whats New With This Release section, and a discussion of compatibility issues with earlier releases. Most users also appreciate documentation defining any known bugs and workarounds in the Read Me file. Since the installation of Online Library System is a complex process, our experts will do it. So an installation Guide will not be provided to the user.
