ONLINE LIBRARY SYSTEM

(USING PHP AND HTML )

ABSTRACT:

Online library system for college libraries. This system is developed in the
environment of [PHP, HTML and MS-ACCESS (DATABASE)]. Main aim of this
system is to reduce or overcome the human effort and time consumption. In
manual library it is not easy to view (or) search book for needed time. By this
application the user may have a unique login ID to lend book. Admin who is
connected to database. This application makes the book search easily by
providing the collections of books and arrival of book (or) book status by HTML
and PHP using conditions that are connected to database. The book updations,
deletions, modification in system may handled by admin. By using the condition
of IF-ELSE statement we can identify the books availability in specific rack and its
copies. If the user searching for book, that is not it the rack (or) its status will be
updated in their unique ID while searching. So, by this application the student
may easily interact with library at anytime and this may helps the pedagogies.

INTRODUCTION:

This project is aimed at developing an online library system for the college
library. This is an internet based application that can be accessed throughout the
campus. This system can be used to search for books, magazines, reserve books,
find out who is having a particular book, put in requests to buy a new book etc.,
this is one integrated system that contains both the user component and the
librarian component. There are registered people in the system (students,
faculty, and librarian). Each of them may have some exclusive privileges (faculty,
for example, could borrow reference books ) for a short period, while students
cannot.
 1. A person should be able to login to the system through the first page of
the application change the password after logging into the system.
2. See, the status of the books/journals borrowed/reserved by him and the
respective due dates and other relevant journals based on the name of
the book (or) rack number that a specific book is located and list of
books based on the name of the author.
3. Reserve a particular book/journal borrowed by others currently.
4. The librarian should be able to include new books/journals or remove
some books from the inventory add new users to the system.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

In manual library system maintaining the data in excels sheet and files is
very hard to remember file names in which the required data is feed. No easy
access to the required queries, data redundancy, inconsistency, lot of human
work need to be done in order to analyze the detail present in the excel sheet. It
leads to wastage of time. No timely response to the end users.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

Proposed system is the one that is going to be automated, so that it is easy

to retrieve the response from the system fastly and updating the details once the
response or services are provided to the end-users upon their request without
any difficulty and save time.

Library is a place that caters to the needs of book lovers. Managing a

library is no easy task due to advent of digital and web libraries it has become
indispensable to use computers in management of a library.

ADVANTAGES OVER EXISTING SYSTEM:

The proposed system is automated that is faster than the existing manually
maintained system and can handle data easily.

Computerization of the details of the members and books.

LITERATURE SURVEY:

We took survey - The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness
of the computerized library system in order to support the continuous learning in
various pedagogical settings. Primary goal is to compare the traditional and the
computerized was such that the pros and cons are identified.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SPECIFIC INFORMATION LITERACY:

 How frequently they visit the libraries

 The importance of various types of resources and finding aids for
their research the importance of specific information
 How useful the proposed services would be to their work.
 The contributions of the libraries make the various aspects of their
work and their overall satisfaction with services, collections, and
facilities.

IDENTIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS:

a) FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT:
 Librarian can login and access the information system.
 Security – that normal user should be able to login except the
librarian.
 Update member information – updates of no. of books issued,
any change in personal details.
 Update book details – librarian can add new book details,
change the status of book (whether available or not available).
b) NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIRMENTS:
 Security requirements – normal users can just read
information’s cannot modify anything except their details.
System will have different types of users and every user had
access constraints.
 Performance – should be fast and accurate. System shall
handle excepted and unexpected errors in ways that prevent
information loss and long downtime period. System should be
able to handle large amount of data.
 User-friendly – the system shall be very interactive.
 Maintainability – backups for database must be available.
