Introduction

Introduction
Borrowing books, returning books or viewing the available books at the
Library of the local Universities currently done manually where in the
student has go to the Library and check the available books at the
Library. .Students check the list of books available and borrow the books if
the book is a borrow otherwise it is of waste for the student to come to the
library to come to check for the books if the student doesnt get the book.
The objective of this Bachelor thesis is to develop a web-based library
management system based on (Html, Css, PHP, MySQL) in order to
reduce the cost of management and make it convenient for the user. This
system used by members who may be students or professors of this
University to check the availability of the books and borrow the books, and
by the librarian to update the databases.

PRESENT MANUAL SYSTEM

Offline or manual library management Is not easy to implement in
manual library management system there is too much paper work

this paper work takes too much time and can be damaged easily
and there is no back up record there is also database desktop
applications are available that application needs special
requirements and also desktop application can also be very easily
damaged by virus.

Problem of the present system

Some of other problems being faced in manual system are as
Follows:
Fast report generation is not possible.
Tracing a book is difficult.
Information about issue/return of the books are not properly
maintained.
No central database can be created as information is not
available in database.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Assumptions and dependencies

The users have sufficient knowledge of computers.
The University computer should have Internet connection and Internet
server capabilities.

The users know the English language, as the user interface will be provided
in English

 The system is available 100% for the user and is used 24

hours a day and 365 days a year. The systemshall be
operational 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Feasibility Study
In feasibility study phase we had undergone through various
steps which are describe as under :
1. Identify the origin of the information at different stages.
2. Identify the expectation of user from computerized system.
3. Analyze the draw back of existing system (manual) system.
