 ABSTRACT
Online Library Management System is a system which maintains the information
about the books present in the library, their authors, the members of library to
whom books are issued, library staff and all. This is very difficult to organize
manually. Maintenance of all this information manually is a very complex task.
Owing to the advancement of technology, organization of an Online Library
becomes much simple.
The Online Library Management has been designed to computerize and
automate the operations performed over the information about the members,
book issues and returns and all other operations. This computerization of library
helps in many instances of its maintenances. It reduces the workload of
management as most of the manual work done is reduced.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I extend my sincere thanks to Padmabhushan Vasantdada Patil college of
Engineering which provided me with the opportunity to fullfill our wish and
achieve our goal.
I would like to express deep debt to Prof. Manish Gangawane,project guide for her
vital suggestion,meticulous guidance and constant motivation,makes this project
successfull uptill this point.They spent a lot of time with us and gave all the related
information and expertise about report writing.
 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction

Our project is about Online Library where we are going to create E-library where
most of the books are available for free and few premium books will be available
on rental .We will provide the books of all genre like science, philosophy,
mathematics, literature,etc. Users can login and also add book of their choice in
respective subjects or genre.
The Users can search for a book by its title or author. The user can also give
feedback to a book by giving ratings on a score of five. The books are divided into
many categories based on subject like Software, Database, English, Architecture
etc.
The Administrator will have additional functionalities when compared to the
common user. He can add, delete and update the book details, book categories,
member information and also confirm a placed order.
Our website is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a
familiar and well thought-out, an attractive user interface, combined with strong
searching, Insertion and reporting capabilities. The report generation facility of
library system helps to get a good idea of which are the books borrowed by the
members, makes users possible to generate reports’ hard copy.
This application is developed using django framework(python) for web
development and HTML,CSS and Javascript for web designing ,SQLite3 for
database management.
1.2 Motivation
The motivation to create this project has many sources
 Interest to develop a good user friendly website.
 To increase my knowledge horizon in technologies like web development and
database
 To maintain user freindly,robust and customizable product.
 There are many websites like openlibrary.org, goodreads.com, overdrive.com,
etc. I want to develop a similar but more user freindly and economical
website using different platform.
 Books and student maintenance modules are also included in this system
which would keep track of the students using the library and also a detailed
description about the books a library contains. With this computerized system
there will be no loss of book record or member record which generally
happens when a non computerized system is used.
 Provide better reliability and security of the library information.

1.3 Problem Statement and Objectives.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The problem occurred before having computerized system includes:
File lost :When computerized system is not implemented file is always lost
because of human environment.Some times due to some human error there may
be a loss of records.
File damaged : When a computerized system is not there file is always lost due
to some accident like spilling of water by some member on file accidentally.
Besides some natural disaster like floods or fires may also damage the files.
Difficult to search record : When there is no computerized system there is
always a difficulty in searching of records if the records are large in number .
Space consuming : After the number of records become large the space for
physical storage of file and records also increases if no computerized system is
implemented.
Cost consuming: As there is no computerized system the to add each record
paper will be needed which will increase the cost for the management of library.

OBJECTIVES:
The project aims and objectives that will be achieved after completion of this
project are discussed in this subchapter. The aims and objectives are as follows:
 Online book reading.
 A search column to search availability of books.
 Facility to download required book.
 An Admin login page where admin can add books, videos or page sources
 Open link for Learning Websites.
 Reduce the use of paper and its cost of implementation.
 To give knowledge to anyone interested to have it in easily accessible manner
.

 2 LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 Survey of Existing System.

 Early days Libraries are managed manually. It required lot of time to record or
to retrieve the details. The employees who have to record the details must
perform their job very carefully. Even a small mistake would create a lot of
problems. Security of information is very less. Report generations of all the
information is very tough task.
 Maintenance of Library catalogue and arrangement of the books to the
catalogue is very complex task.In addition to its maintenance of member
details, issue dates and return dates etc. manually is a complex task.
 All the operations must be performed in perfect manner for the maintenance
of the library with out any degradation which may finally result in the failure
of the entire system.
 Online libraries are available on the internet today, We Personally gone
through many of them such as World digital library , Friends digital library
,etc. But we came across that many of these libraries are Charging hefty
prices for their membership plans and the interface provided by them is not
really user friendly.
 2.2 Limitation of Existing System or Research gap.

 Information about issue and return of the books are not properly maintained.
 No central database can be created as information is not available in
database.
 Tracing of book is difficult.
 Fast report generation is not possible.
 Only few libraries provide free access to some books on their platform.
 There are no special key features.

 3.PROPOSED SYSTEM.
3.1 Introduction.

 To solve the inconveniences as mentioned in the existing system, an Online

Library is proposed. The proposed system contains the following features:
 The students will register them through Online 
 Individually each member will have his account through which he can access
the information he needs. 
 Book details like authors, number of copies totally maintained by library,
present available number of books, reference books, non-reference books
etc. all this information can be made handy. 
 Regarding the members designation, number of books was issued.
 Issue dates and returns of each member is maintained separately and fine
charged if there is any delay in returning the book. 
 Administrator can add, update the books.
 Time consuming is low, gives accurate results, reliability can be improved
with the help of security.
 3.2 Architechture/Framework
Three-tier (layer) is a client-server architecture in which the user interface,
business process (business rules) and data storage and data access are
developed and maintained as independent modules or most often on
separate platforms. The Architecture of Online Book Store is based on three-
tier architecture.

The three logical tiers are

• Presentation tier - Django Web forms, Master Pages, Images

• Middle tier – Javascript .

• Data tier- Database(SQLite).

3-TIER ARCHITECTURE(FIG):
Functions for users:
 Log in
 Search for document based on one or more of the following criteria:
* Type (book, journal, or both)
* Title
* Author or director
* Year
 Access users' account information:
* Account number(s)
* Books currently checked out
* Books on hold
 Put the material on hold
 Update personal information:
* Phone numbers .
* E-mail ID.
* Passwords.
Functions for administrative are the same as the functions for users plus the
following:
• Add users
• Add library accounts and assign them to users
• Check out the material
• Manage and transfer the material that is currently on hold
• Add the material to the database
• Remove the material from the database
• Receive payments from users and update the users' fines
• View all user information except password
The Online Library system is a web based system developed to meet the needs
and demands of the library operations today. It allows you to check your library
operations anytime and anywhere.
It facilitates library operations by offering:
 Systematic records of the library collection.
 Reliable records of library patrons.
 Seamless check out and check in of library materials.
 Ease of accessing statistical results.
 Generate real time report for management decision.
 Hassle free stock taking of library materials.
 Personalized service to each patron.

PROCESS DESIGN:
DATABASE DESIGN:

The general theme behind a database is to handle information as an

integrated whole. A database is a collection of interrelated data stored with
minimum redundancy to serve many users quickly and effectively. After
designing input and output, the analyst must concentrate on database design
or how data should be organized around user requirements. The general
objective is to make information access, easy quick, inexpensive and flexible
for other users. During database design the following objectives are
concerned:-

 Controlled Redundancy
 Data independence
 Accurate and integrating
 More information at low cost
 Recovery from failure
 Privacy and security
 Performance
 Ease of learning and use.

SYSTEM DESIGN:

The users of the system are provided the surety that their account is
secure.

This is possible by providing:- 

 User authentication and validation of members using their unique

member ID 
 Proper monitoring by the administrator which includes updating account
status. 
 Proper accountability which includes not allowing a member to see other
member’s account. Only administrator will see and manage all member
accounts.
USE CASE:

Patrons of the library can search library catalog online resources - books,
periodicals, audio and visual materials, or other items under control of the
library. Patrons may reserve or renew item, provide feedback, and manage
their account. The following figure shows the use case which we used in order
to implement the project

3.5 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

Future Work
 In the near future, technology is growing rapidly and so this“Library
Management” will be very helpful in the future.Every College and Local
Library can use this system.

 This application can be easily implemented under various situations.We

can add new features as and when we require. Reusability is possible as
and when require in this application. There is flexibility in all the modules.

SOFTWARE SCOPE:
 Extensibility: This software is extendable in ways that its original
developers may not expect. The following principles enhances
extensibility like hide data structure, avoid traversing multiple links or
methods, avoid case statements on object type and distinguish public and
private operations.
 Reusability: Reusability is possible as and when required in this
application. We can update it next version. Reusable software reduces
design, coding and testing cost by amortizing effortover several
designs.Reducing the amount of code alsosimplifies understanding, which
increases the likelihood thatthe code is correct. We follow up both types
of reusability:Sharing of newly written code within a project and reuse of
previously written code on new projects.

Conclusion
 "Library Management System allows the user to store the book details
and the customer details. This software package allows storing the
details of all the data related to library. The system is strong enough to
withstand regressive yearly operations under conditions where the
database is maintained and cleared over a certain time of span.
 The software is developed using Django as front end and mysql as back
end in Windows environment. The goals that are achieved by the
software are:
 Optimum utilization of resources.

 Efficient management of records.

 Simplification of the operations.

 Less processing time and getting required information.

 User friendly.

 Portable and flexible for further enhancement.
