Introduction

This project is aimed to aid the Library Management System of any organization in online way. Online Library Management System (OLIMs) as it  named is basically an intranet based application for providing usability both to the student and librarian with added security.

The overall system operator is the librarian. He maintains the different policy required for the OLIMS. The main functions of the librarian includes maintenance of books.  Inside maintenance of books he can add, and delete operation on books. Other functions include maintain issue policy, maintain fine policy, view purchase requests, search for books, view fine details of a particular user and view books issued to a particular user.

The user (student/faculty/staff) is the end user. He/She can search books, view books issued to him/her, view fine details and request for purchasing a new book.

Scope Of Improvement

This project has a scope for improvement in the following areas

• Currently the OLIMS allows applicants to issue books one by one.It can be bettered by allowing for multiple books simultaneously.
• One improvement for allowing the administrator to send email notifications to user.
• Another improvement for reserving a particular book borrowed by others currently and  cancelling the reservation made earlier for a particular book.

This Online Library Management System  will provide an automated s/w for the college library to search the books online .This Intranet based application will provide facilities to different kinds of users, which reduces the complexities arised in the “Manual Library System “ .Thus it puts an option for all categories of users to have the transaction details with added security features. This integrated system  allows both the user component and librarian component to work independently.

• Step 8- Writing a Research Paper on Library Management System:

A Project Development is a multiphase process in which each and every process are equally important. Here in this post we are also going to develop our Library Management System Project in multiple phases, such as:

• Team Formation
• Topic Selection
• Creating Project Synopsys
• Requirement Gathering
• Coding or Implementation
• Project Presentation
• Writing a Research Paper

Let us look into the steps one by one.

Team formation for a final year project is a crucial aspect that can significantly impact the success and efficiency of the project. In the final year, students often have diverse academic backgrounds, skills, and interests. Therefore, forming a well-balanced team becomes essential to leverage the strengths of each member and address any potential weaknesses.

In Our project as we will be exploring about web application for Library Management system project so we will be required below skill sets.

• Front end Developer
• Back end Developer
• Devops Developer

Step 1- Team Formation Phase

While making our library management system project this will be our second step in which we will find an interesting problem statement and try to generate an idea to solve that problem using our knowledge.

Choose a topic related to your field of study that is of great interest to you. It is advised that you pick a topic that has a powerful motive. For instance, a project that helps humankind will truly be unmatched. Another factor to keep in mind is to choose topics that aren’t very common. 

You Can Pick some of the unique Software Development Ideas from Top 50 Software Development Ideas for Beginners article.

• Topic Planning : In this phase team will gather and try to search a topic or problem statement by brainstorming , reverse thinking or any other strategy and select a problem which is challenging in nature and solvable by using their combined knowledge of tech.
• Defining & Set Objective: After planning the problem statement we will define clear problem statement and its objectives.

Result : In the end of this phase we will be having a problem statement for our project.

In our example we are selecting the topic ” Library Management System ” .

After the selection of the topic we are going to start our project work in the following steps:

Step 3- Synopsys for Library Management System Project

A project synopsis serves as a concise overview or summary of a proposed project, offering a brief but comprehensive insight into its objectives, scope, methodology, and expected outcomes. It typically acts as a preliminary document, providing supervisors, or evaluators with a quick understanding of the project before they delve into more detailed documentation.

Synopsys of Library Management System Project

The project synopsis usually includes key elements such as the project title , problem statement or context , objectives , scope and limitations , methodology or approach , expected outcomes , and the significance of the project in the broader context. It serves as a roadmap, guiding readers through the fundamental aspects of the project and helping them grasp its purpose and potential impact.

Below are some of the points we have to cover in the synopsis report : Project Title Introduction of Project Problem Statement Proposed Solution Objective of the Project Scope of the Project Methodologies used ER Model Use case Diagram Dataflow Diagram Features of the project For Users For Admin Impact of the project Limitations of the project Future scope of the project

Let’s create a Synopsys Report for Library Management System Project:

3.1 Introduction | Synopsys for Library Management System Project

A Library Management System (LMS) is a software application that simplifies and automates the operations of libraries. It is a complete system for managing library duties such as purchases, member management, monitoring, storing, and circulation. The primary objective of an LMS is to properly organize and manage the resources available in a library, making it easier for librarians to conduct everyday operations and create a user-friendly experience for users.

4.2 SRS (Library Management System) | Overall Description:

4.2.1 product perspective:.

LMS is a replacement for the ordinary library management systems which depend on paper work for recording book and users’ information. LMS will provide an advanced book search mechanism and will make it easy to borrow, insert and index a book in the library.

4.2.2 Product Functions:

Authentication and authorization system:, 4.2.3 class diagram and characteristics:.

Class Diagram for Library Management System simply describes structure of Library Management System class, attributes, methods or operations, relationship among objects.

Class Diagram for Library Management System Project

Aggregation and Multiplicity are two important points that need to take into consideration while designing a Class Diagram. Let us understand in detail.

Aggregation:

• Aggregation simply shows a relationship where one thing can exist independently of other thing. It means to create or compose different abstractions together in defining a class.
• Aggregation is represented as a part of relationship in class diagram. In diagram given below, we can see that aggregation is represented by an edge with a diamond end pointing towards superclass.
• The “Library Management System” is superclass that consists of various classes. These classes are User, Book, and Librarian as shown in diagram. Further, for “Account” class, “User” is a superclass. All of these, share a relationship and these relationships are known as aggregate relationships.

Multiplicity:

• Multiplicity means that number of elements of a class is associated with another class. These relations can be one-to-one, many-to-many, and many-to-one or one-to-many. For denoting one element we use  1 , for zero elements we use  0 , and for many elements we use  * .
• We can see in diagram; many users are associated with many books denoted by  *  and this represents a  many-to-many  type of relationship. One user has only one account that is denoted by 1 and this represents a  one-to-one  type of relationship.
• Many books are associated with one librarian and this represents  many-to-one  or  one-to-many  type of relationship. All these relationships are shown in diagram.

4.2.4 General Constraints:

• The information of all users, books and libraries must be stored in a database that is accessible by the website.
• MS SQL Server will be used as SQL engine and database.
• The Online Library System is running 24 hours a day.
• Users may access LMS from any computer that has Internet browsing capabilities and an Internet connection.

Use Case Diagram of Library Management System Project

This is a broad level diagram of the project showing a basic overview. The users can be either staff or student. This System will provide a search functionality to facilitate the search of resources. This search will be based on various categories . Further the library staff personal can add/update the resources and the resource users from the system. The users of the system can request issue/renew/return of books for which they would have to follow certain criteria.

ER Diagram  is known as Entity-Relationship Diagram, it is used to analyze  the structure of the Database. It shows relationships between entities and their attributes. An ER Model provides a means of communication. 

The Library Management System project database keeps track of readers with the following considerations –

• The system keeps track of the staff with a single point authentication system comprising login Id and password.
• Staff maintains the book catalogue with its ISBN, Book title, price(in INR), category(novel, general, story), edition, author Number and details.
• A publisher has publisher Id, Year when the book was published, and name of the book.
• Readers are registered with their user_id, email, name (first name, last name), Phone no (multiple entries allowed), communication address. The staff keeps track of readers.
• Readers can return/reserve books that stamps with issue date and return date. If not returned within the prescribed time period, it may have a due date too.
• Staff also generate reports that has readers id, registration no of report, book no and return/issue info.

Let’s draw an ER Model of Library Management System :

Entities and their Attributes –

• Book Entity :  It has authno, isbn number, title, edition, category, price. ISBN is the Primary Key for Book Entity.
• Reader Entity :  It has UserId, Email, address, phone no, name. Name is composite attribute of firstname and lastname. Phone no is multi valued attribute. UserId is the Primary Key for Readers entity.
• Publisher Entity :  It has PublisherId, Year of publication, name. PublisherID is the Primary Key.
• Authentication System Entity :  It has LoginId and password with LoginID as Primary Key.
• Reports Entity :  It has UserId, Reg_no, Book_no, Issue/Return date. Reg_no is the Primary Key of reports entity.
• Staff Entity :  It has name and staff_id with staff_id as Primary Key.
• Reserve/Return Relationship Set :  It has three attributes: Reserve date, Due date, Return date.

Relationships between Entities – 

• A reader can reserve N books but one book can be reserved by only one reader. The relationship 1:N.
• A publisher can publish many books but a book is published by only one publisher. The relationship 1:N.
• Staff keeps track of readers. The relationship is M:N.
• Staff maintains multiple reports. The relationship 1:N.
• Staff maintains multiple Books. The relationship 1:N.
• Authentication system provides login to multiple staffs. The relation is 1:N.

Career readiness, including nontechnical or soft skills, is vital to the successful completion of large projects. For information technology (IT) graduates wanting to participate in large-scale real-world projects, indicators of career readiness include effective communication, oral presentation, and technical writing skills, and the ability to work in a team. So, in general, how should science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and IT curricula provide students with the necessary soft skills Li et al. address this nontrivial question. The authors concisely review the benefits of effective capstone projects, which provide IT students with the opportunity to apply soft skills, knowledge, competence, and ethics in real-world situations. They then give a course outline for a capstone project course: a call for proposals; a project introduction that includes application, assignment, implementation, and presentation of results; and a deliverable report with progress tracking and evaluation. To promote career readiness skills across all STEM fields, the authors outline a lively capstone management system (CMS) consisting of four components: "sponsor registration and proposal submission, project application and automatic assignment, capstone dashboard/progress tracking, and capstone project evaluation." They also present an adaptable generic database and user interface designs for promoting computer science, software engineering, cybersecurity, and IT career readiness skills. In summary, Li et al. address some major research questions: Why do undergraduate student teams minimize communications as the project progresses Should the emerging technologies used for engaging students in different STEM fields differ How should academics and industrial experts cope with "dysfunctional" teams
