Library Management System (CAPS)
Library Management System (CAPS)
Introduction
A library management system is software made specifically to control every
aspect of a library. It aids librarians in maintaining a database of newly released books
as well as books that members have borrowed and their due dates. This system
completely automates all your library’s activities. The best way to maintain, organize,
and handle countless books systematically is to implement a library management
system software.
Records for libraries are kept up to date using a library management system. It
keeps track of the numbers of books in the library, how many are issued, how many
are returned or renewed, how many have late fines assessed. With this system, books
may be promptly located, issued or reissued, and all the data can be managed
effectively and efficiently. A library management system's goal is to instantly and
accurately offer information about any type of book, saving a great deal of time and
effort.
General Objectives
The objective of the system is to automate the existing system so that
searching, borrowing and returning books will be faster. Furthermore, the proponents
want to maximize learning by enticing the students to visit the library to have a first-
hand experience on hassle-free searching, borrowing and returning of books. This
system is expected to reduce the cost of library operations and provide a more
productive environment for the library staff member.
Specific Objectives
Project Context
A Library Management System is software that handles the basic and
systematic organization of library functions. The system would include basic features
for adding/updating student information, adding/updating book information, searching
for books, and managing check-in/check-out processes.
Purpose
A Library Management System's main purpose is to run libraries more cost-
effectively and with more efficiency. All of the libraries operational tasks are
simplified by the system’s complete automation. The software handles the tasks of
book purchase, cataloging, indexing, documenting circulation, and stock checking.
The software eliminates the need for repetitive manual work and reduces the risk of
errors. Some features of this software are:
