INTRODUCTION
Library management system is a project which aims in developing a computerized system to maintain all the
daily work of library. This project has many features which are generally not available in normal library
management systems like facility of admin login through which the admin can monitor the whole system.
The librarian after logging into his account can generate various option such as new student, new teacher,
new book, issue book and return book and bills details. Overall this project of ours is being developed to
help staff of library to maintain the library in the best way possible and also reduce the human efforts.
EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system is a manual system. The proposed system tries to simplify the difficulties encountered
in manually handling the information about the books, stocks and sale. In this case the details of sales, books
and stocks in hand are stored in one or more registers.
The existing system needs number of staff and a lot of time consumption for the process. When we compare
the existing system with the proposed system, there are many drawbacks for the existing system.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM
The system under study is a non-computerized system. The main drawbacks of existing system are:-
The existing system needs a number of registers for handling the records. This leads to tedious
manual labor.
The calculations require a large amount of clerical time.
Generation of various reports is very difficult and time consuming.
The system is less reliable due to the possibility of human errors that occur while entering data and
during calculations.
Number of employees is required for the processing of entering data into different record.
Low accuracy.
Updating of written records is very difficult.
Data processing is very low.
Accessing previously stored records is a time consuming task.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The main objective of the proposed system is to overcome the drawbacks of the existing manual system. The
need for computerized system arises as the manual maintenance and handling of process becomes more and
more tedious and complex .The computerization of the system helps to save a lot of time. It is very difficult
to maintain all the details of each of the record manually. Also reference to a particular record leads to
consume more time whereas the computerized system rectifies most of these drawbacks. The calculations
are done in a few seconds and with the help of various reports generated several conclusions can be drawn
easily. The wide use of computers as they offer valuable facilities is difficult to stimulate in any other way.
The facilities are given below:-
GREATER PROCESSING SPEED:
Since computers process data very quickly there inherent speed is one reason why people seek in the
development of system project.
ACCURACY AND IMPROVED CONSISTENCY:
The management will benefit from system consistency and better accuracy.
FASTER INFORMATION RETRIEVAL:
The information is being located and retrieved from storage at a faster rate than the manual system.
SECURITY AND PRIVACY:
Data can be made accessible only to persons having authorization thereby preventing illegal users.
REDUCED COST:
Using computing capability data can be process lower cost than the other system while maintaining accuracy
and performance level.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system has got several benefits as compared to that of the existing one.
Those benefits are as follows:-
• Time delay for any process is reduced.
• Cost of establishment and maintenance are lower than a manual system.
• Faster and more accurate retrieval of information.
• Generation of various reports is made easy.
• Number of employees is reduced.
• Simple and easy to manage.
• Storage spaces for registers are not possible.
• More efficient and reliable than the existing system
• Unauthorized accessing is not possible.
