Background Survey:

The old manual system was suffering from a series of drawbacks. Since whole of
the system was to be maintained with hands the process of keeping, maintaining
and retrieving the information was very tedious and lengthy. The records were
never used to be in a systematic order. there used to be lots of difficulties in
associating any particular transaction with a particular context. If any information
was to be found it was required to go through the different registers, documents
there would never exist anything like report generation. There would always be
unnecessary consumption of time while entering records and retrieving records.
One more problem was that it was very difficult to find errors while entering the
records. Once the records were entered it was very difficult to update these
records.
The main objective of the Project on Library Management System is to manage
the details of Books, Issues, Member. The project is totally built at administrative
end and thus only the administrator is guaranteed the access. The purpose of the
project is to reduce the manual work for managing the , Books, Issues. It tracks all
the details about the books,Issues, Member.
