Abstract

Manual process of keeping student records, book records, account details, managing employee is very difficult. There are various problems which are also faced by the student in library such as finding any particular book, information whether book is available or not, for what time this book will be available, searching of books using ISBN number etc. To eliminate this manual system, library solutions using barcode encryption technology has been developed. This technology will handle all the current issues faced by the students and by its admin personnel.

The currently used software which is an open-source. They have to wait until they are not provided with their library card and token. For receiving book they have to show their library card and wait in line for their turns.

In the proposed system the transactions like login, add, search, delete, issue are provided. The details of books like book name, book number, subject to which it belongs, author, edition, year of publication, the total number of books that are present in the library etc., are also stored. Only valid users will be able to access this software. The software is strong enough to withstand regressive yearly operations under conditions where the database is maintained and cleared over a certain span of time. It also provides readily calculated reports such as the students will automatically receive an email before the last day of returning the book.

While issuing a book to a student the barcode of the book is scanned and checked whether the student can take the book or not, does he exceeds the limit of receiving the book and all. If all the conditions are satisfied then the student is issued with the book. This further doesn’t require any library card of the student for issuing purpose as everything is pre-calculated and stored in the database.
