Library Management System

As time continues to run, our world keeps getting more advance and modernize and until now, it doesn’t stop. One of the finished products of modernization is the machine called “COMPUTER”. We know that the most useful technology is the computer. Computer is widely used device in every aspect of today’s world. Because of its powerful usage, people rely on what computer can do instead of human ability to do it manually. Using computer is known globally not just the computer literates but also to the average people. They make use of it as a need of today’s creation and also to withstand the technologies being introduced that symbolizes the advantages of using it. Nowadays, time is very important that’s why big and small companies view time as one of the first thing to prioritized before starting a business. Investing of computers is another way to save time. It also means less effort and fewer expenses, which will help the company to optimize their production.

Most of the actions in our generation today is manipulated or done by the computers. An outlook to the environment of the system of each school basically revolves in two aspects: manual and computerized, though computerized systems are the most commonly used systems in schools as of this moment it is evident that there are still some work that needs to be covered and there has to be a system that rotates all the work corresponding to the flow or process of borrowing books in the library. Through this system it enables task to interact in one given application to shorten the process. The proposed system aims to use the modernized way in borrowing and returning of books in the library. This system helps lessen the hasslement of the students and the librarian in borrowing and returning of books. So we come up on this system.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction

Rationale of the Study

Proponents choose this Library Management System because of several problems regarding of their current system which is manual type transaction. We found out that most of the library had difficulties in keeping the records of books being borrowed. If they have lost the records of books they will had a hard time to recall the students who had borrowed the books. This study will help librarians improve their current transaction. Implementing this system helps students from hassle free and an easy way of borrowing and returning of books.

Library Management System is also another way of creating an atmosphere of good relationship between students and librarians. With this reality, the proponents came up with an idea to develop an advanced Web-based application Computer Operating System. This could be a break-through for a modern process from manual system into computerized system that can produce a more organized reliable and user-friendly application which will access the web using personal computer. Purpose and description of the project:

The purpose of this study is to create a library system that will serve as a reliable tool during borrowing and returning books. In such a way, the process is fast and convenient not only to the librarian but also to the students or the staff of the school during borrowing and returning of books.

Objective of the Project

The objective of this study is to make and develop a study that lessens the problem encountered during the manual process of borrowing and returning of books. In such a way, the process is fast and convenient not only to the librarian, but also to the students. In order to attain this, there are some specific objectives: To let students borrow and return books in an easier process. To make it easy to save any record

To make the librarian easier to process

Scope and Limitations

The proposed system for Library Management System focuses on:

Significance of the Study
As a student, being the main participants will gain knowledge and experience to improve our skills. This project is a major requirement to complete the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology course of AMA COMPUTER LEARNING CENTER (ACLC). It gives a hassle-free to librarian in keeping the records of the student It is accessible to the students / librarians

It provides an easier borrowing and returning process
To create & design a system that can be easily use by the librarian.

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES
Theoretical Background
For further understanding of the study, the researchers made use of different reading materials related to the Library System. These materials such as books, past thesis and other web articles are essential in broadening the knowledge of the researchers. These will also guide the researchers to achieve their target objectives by getting ideas on other related studies and make improvements as possible.

CHAPTER 3
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Technicality of the Project
The researcher’s observation in view of the existing library process, it consume a lot of time in every transaction. The library only has a manual type and walk-in process. With this concern, the proponent found an opportunity to make a Web-based application that will give the services a convenient way in borrowing/returning of books through this system. Within this system companies can manage their business easily and modify data as well.

Our proposed system will use SQL for our database where all the information is being stored. Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data processes, and produce output data. Details of the Technologies to be used

These are the list of the tools and software that will be used throughout the implementation. List of Tools and Software to be used in the Software Development Visual Basic 2010
Used to create graphical applications for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. SQL Server
It is powerful and reliable data management product. It delivers rich features, data protection, and performance for embedded application clients, light Web applications, and local data stores.

How the project will work

Admin
For our system admin is the most important role in our system. These will be the one who will manage the whole system. The admin can monitor the information received from the students. Student Our system is a friendly user system. The student can easily borrow and return books. This study will be useful to the student and also to the future researchers. Our study contributes to this human by considering such as human computer interaction as one of the aspect of the broader changes in a work processes that this system is enable.
