CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives an overview about the aim, objectives, background, and operation environment of the system.
1.1 PROJECT AIMS AND 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 issue • Request column for librarian for providing new books • Student login page where student can find books issued by him/her and date of return. • A search column to search availability of books
Library Management System
1.2 BACKGROUND OF PROJECT
Library Management System is an application which refers to library systems which are generally small or medium in size. It is used by librarian to manage the library using a computerized system where he/she can record various transactions like issue of books, return of books, addition of new books, addition of new students etc.
Books and student maintenance modules are also included in this system which would keep track of the students using the library and 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.
All these modules can help librarian to manage the library with more convenience and in a more efficient way as compared to library systems which are not computerized.

2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Library Management System is a computerized system which helps
user(librarian) to manage the library daily activity in electronic format. It reduces
the risk of paperwork such as file lost, file damaged and time consuming.
It can help user to manage the transaction or record more effectively and time-
saving.
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. Sometimes 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.
Library Management System
• 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.
2.1.2 SYSTEM OBJECTIVES
• Improvement in control and performance
The system is developed to cope up with the current issues and problems of library
. The system can add user, validate user and is also bug free.
• Save cost
After computerized system is implemented less human force will be required to maintain the library thus reducing the overall cost.
• Save time
Librarian can search record by using few clicks of mouse and few search keywords thus saving his valuable time.
• Option of online Notice board
Librarian will be able to provide a detailed description of workshops going in the college as well as in nearby colleges
• Lecture Notes
Teachers have a facility to upload lectures notes in a pdf file having size not more than 10mb

Library Management System
2.3 SOFTWARE TOOLS USED
The whole Project is divided in two parts the front end and the back end.
2.3.1 Front end The front end is designed using of HTML, Php, CSS, Java Script
• HTML- HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web browser.HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like ), within the web page content. HTML tags most come in pairs like
, although some tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example• CSS- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. While most often used to style web pages and interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any kind
of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is a cornerstone specification of the web and almost all web pages use CSS style sheets to describe their presentation.CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification
Library Management System
of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for table less web design).CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices. It can also be used to allow the web page to display differently depending on the screen size or device on which it is being viewed. While the author of a document typically links that document to a CSS file, readers can use a different style sheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the author has specified. However, if the author or the reader did not link the document to a specific style sheet the default style of the browser will be applied.CSS specifies a priority scheme to determine which style rules apply if more than one rule matches against a particular element. In this so-called cascade, priorities or weights are calculated and assigned to rules, so that the results are predictable.
• JAVA SCRIPT- JavaScript (JS) is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed. It is also being used in server-side programming, game development and the creation of desktop and mobile applications. JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and has first-class functions. Its syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from
the Self and Scheme programming languages. It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative,
and functional programming styles. The application of JavaScript to use outside of web pages—for example, in PDF documents, site-specific browsers, and desktop widgets—is also significant. Newer and faster JavaScript VMs and platforms built upon them (notably Node.js) have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side web applications. On the client side, JavaScript was traditionally implemented as
Library Management System
an interpreted language but just-in-time compilation is now performed by recent (post-2012) browsers.
• PHP- PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is now installed on more than 244 million websites and 2.1 million web servers. Originally created by Rasmus Leadoff in 1995, the reference implementation of PHP is now produced by The PHP Group. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive backronym code is interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the resulting web page: PHP commands can be embedded directly into an HTML source document rather than calling an external file to process data. It has also evolved to include a command-line interface capability and can be used
in standalone graphical applications. PHP is free software released under the PHP License. PHP can be deployed on most web servers and also as a standalone shell on almost every operating system and platform, free of charge.
2.3.2 Back end The back end is designed using MySQL which is used to design the Database.
MYSQL- MySQL ("My S-Q-L", officially, but also called "My Sequel") is (as of July 2013) the world's second most widely used open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). It is named after co-founder Michael Wideners daughter, My. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety
of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation
. MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications and is a central component of the widely used LAMP open-source web application software stack (and other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-open-source projects that require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL. For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Applications which use MySQL databases
Library Management System
include: TYPO3, MoD, Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, Drupal and other software. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale websites, including Wikipedia, Google (though not for searches), Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube

SYSTEM TESTING
The aim of the system testing process was to determine all defects in our project. The program was subjected to a set of test inputs and various observations were made and based on these observations it will be decided whether the program behaves as expected or not. Our Project went through two levels of testing
1.Unit testing
2.integration testing
UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is undertaken when a module has been created and successfully reviewed. In order to test a single module we need to provide a complete environment i.e. besides the module we would require
• The procedures belonging to other modules that the module under test calls
• Nonlocal data structures that module accesses
• A procedure to call the functions of the module under test with appropriate parameters
- Test For the admin module
Library Management System
• Testing admin login form-This form is used for logging in of administrator of the system. In this we enter the username and password if both are correct administration page will open other wise if any of data is wrong it will get redirected back to the login page and again ask for username and password
• Student account addition- In this section the admin can verify student details from student academic info and then only add student details to main library database it contains add and delete buttons if user click add button data will be added to student database and if he clicks delete button the student data will be deleted
• Book Addition- Admin can enter details of book and can add the details to the main book table also he can view the books requests.
- Test for Student login module
• Test for Student login Form-This form is used for logging in of Student. In this we enter the library, username, and password if all these are correct student login page will open otherwise if any of data is wrong it will get redirected back to the login page and again ask for library, username and password.
• Test for account creation- This form is used for new account creation when student does not fill the form completely it asks again to fill the whole form when he fills the form fully it gets redirected to page which show waiting for conformation message as his data will be only added by administrator after verification.
- Test for teacher login module-
• Test for teacher login form- This form is used for logging in of teacher. In this we enter the username and password if all these are correct teacher login page will open otherwise if any of data is wrong it will get redirected back to the login page and again ask for username and password.
Library Management System
INTEGRATION TESTING
In this type of testing, we test various integration of the project module by providing the input
. The primary objective is to test the module interfaces to ensure that no errors are occurring when one module invokes the other module.
Library Management System
CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION & FUTURE SCOPE
This website provides a computerized version of library management system which will benefit the students as well as the staff of the library.
It makes entire process online where student can search books, staff can generate reports and do book transactions. It also has a facility for student login where student can login and can see status of books issued request as well for book or give some suggestions. It has a facility of teacher’s login where teachers can add lectures notes and give necessary suggestion to library and also add info about workshops or events happening in our college or nearby college in the online notice board.
There is a future scope of this facility that many more features such as online lectures video tutorials can be added by teachers as well as online assignments submission facility, a feature of group chat where students can discuss various issues of engineering can be added to this project thus making it more interactive more user friendly and project which fulfills each users need in the best way possible
