STAKEHOLDERS
Problem Definition: The current manual library management is not an efficient way
of managing
the activities of Library and books for a university of 20,000+ students.
There are multiple issues faced by the current library staff:
A. The number of employees needed to manage the library is high leading to
unnecessary
manpower allocation and high cost of maintenance.
B. Late book return fine calculation is a tedious and time-consuming affair.
C. No reports could be generated on books issued due to the manual system.
Hence, current
status of library (no. of books issued v/s available in library) at any
given point of time is
not known instantly.
D. Given the huge volume of 4 million books, it is difficult to manage the same
in the library.
E. In the current manual system, students could deposit the books only in the
library
timings. Hence, there is no flexibility of returning the book.
Advantages of LMS
EXISTING SYSTEM
What is the proposed solution or system? Mention in points how the system itself
will be for the
user. (Sample points given, you can add more to it)
As part of the solution, a Library Management System should be in place which would
enable
following:
OUT OF SCOPE
• Better Management Reporting: LMS should offer better reporting by the way of
providing automated reports covering following:
o Which books are most rented?
o Records of issued and unissued materials in the library (management will
decide
whether to stock them or not)
o Amount of fine collected in a day, week, and month.
o Number of lost books
o Report on total number of books, journals, etc.
o Age of books, that is, which books are more than 20 years old. College
would like
to keep updated versions of the books.
