INTRODUCTION
The main operations in a Library involves Organizing the books, Issuing books to library members, recording the issue and submitting of books and Managing the member details. These operations in a Library can be simplified by using Library management software. So there is no need to keep any record books.
Features:
Books can be searched by their Title, Description or Author and also books can be seen in appropriate categories.
Each book is added with a unique Identification number and other details including a Shelf Number which helps to locate the book.
We can also use Google Books to fetch details of a book from Internet.
A cover image and PDF eBook can also be attached with the Book details.
The Books can be issued and Submitted in a fast manner.
The Library members can be managed more efficiently.
We can easily get information like who took a particular book or which are the books taken by a specific Library member.
Packages with a monthly fee and maximum book restriction can be assigned to library members.
User Login with different permissions.
Export tables to excel file.
So a Library Management System can significantly reduce the workload of managing a big library. The Project was implemented using C# as the programming language.SQLite was used as the database back end. The project was done in Visual Studio IDE.In our existing system all the transaction of books are done manually, So taking more time for a transaction like borrowing a book or returning a book and also for searching of members and books. Another major disadvantage is that to preparing the list of books borrowed and the available books in the library will take more time, currently it is doing as a one day process for verifying all records. So after conducting the feasibility study we decided to make the manual Library management system to be computerized. Through our software user can add members, add books, search members, search books, update information, edit information, borrow and return books in quick time.
