DATABASE MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
The chosen organization:
SK Bayan Baru Library Management System
History of SK Bayan Baru
Sekolah Kebangsaan Bayan Baru commenced operations on July 16, 1994. The school was
named after a place in the Southwest District of Penang, Bayan Baru. The original site of this
school is the 'rang' land filled with bushes. The first principal of the Sekolah Kebangsaan
Bayan Baru is also the founder of this school, En. Baharul Azhar Omar. Initially, a total of 15
teachers was stationed in this school to educate about 350 students living near this school
environment. The identity of this school can be seen through badges, flags and school songs
with motto "Knowledgeable Knowledge". Mr Baharul Azhar bin Omar is the person
responsible for selecting and deploying School Resource Center at 2 Cempaka Block because
of its strategic position in line with its function as a knowledge building. To ensure that the
School Resource Center is fully utilized among students, En. Hussain bin Salleh, Head of
Secondary School of Bayan Baru, suggested the "Mari Membaca" program to foster reading
interest amongst students and they visited the School Resource Centre.
Business Requirement

materials
Provide librarian with ability to view the borrower’s records
Allowing the admin to enter information regarding borrower
Provide student login page where student can find books anytime and
anywhere
Spread the update and latest information for the aim of teaching, research
and learning
Problem Statement
Firstly, students who want to borrow books need to go to the loan counter, the librarian will
find a log book that has a list of student names and their classes. Next, they will record the
title of the book and the date the book borrowed. Students are only allowed to borrow 2
books for a week. When the book was returned, the librarian will record the date, the name
of the student and their class on the card placed on the cover of the book. In addition, the
name of the author of the book is also written on the card. This process take a long time,
complicated and troublesome the librarian to do their work.
Limitation of Current System
As stated earlier the current system used by the library does not seem to contain a database
structure, but instead it is based on hard-copy paper charts. Information is collected using
paper forms which are then simply kept in physical charts. Undoubtedly, this could be
extremely time-consuming which may ultimately result in decreasing the amount of
borrower that can be seen by the librarian on daily basis. Those limitations pose other
challenges once the database design is completed. Having used a paper-based system for
its borrowers, SK Bayan Baru’s library does not have the necessary tools or resources to
enter borrowers’ information in an electronic database. This suggests that the database
design should be simplified to house information about borrowers that may have already
provided their information such as their borrowed books history. The current system makes
it more difficult to collect information from the borrowers and possible increase the level of
error when entering borrowers’ information provided on paper into the computer.
Proposed Solution
We proposed to develop Library management system. The digital library management
system will offer simplicity as well as security and efficiency to the management. The
current system stores the database information on a local computer, which is hard to be
updated and accessed on a remote computer or a computer in the library network. It is
difficult to catch defaulters in a usual library system, but library management system solves
this problem by providing messages to the administrator about the fine to be paid and
books to be returned. When a book is to be borrowed, its barcode is read and is fed to
library management system. When the librarian tries to issue a book to a member, library
management system checks whether the member is allowed to borrow books respective to
his limit. If the book has no restrictions it is issued to the member, and also the member’s
details is updated with the books that he has just borrowed.
Al-Quran verse that is related to the problem
People with knowledge are the ones who will obtain understanding, and consequently
admonition from Allah SWT, as stated in the following verse thus:
“Is one who worships devoutly during the hour of the night prostrating himself or
standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places his hope in the
Mercy of his Lord – (like one who does not)? Say: ‘Are those equal, those who know
and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that
receive admonition.” Surah al-Zumar (39): 9
Through this verse, Allah SWT explains that in society there are people with knowledge and
people without knowledge. People with knowledge are risen in their stature in the sight of
Allah SWT. We choose this Al-Quran verse because we had knowledge in database system
and we can create it to make all the information become more systematic and it is easier to
access. So, the borrowing system also become more faster and efficient .
