1.1 Introduction The Library Management System is designed & developed for a receipt and issuance of books in the library along with the students details. The books received in the library are entered in Books Entry form and the new student is entered in the student entry form. When the student wants to get the desired book the same is issued on the availability basis to the student. The issuance and due date for the returning of the book is also entered into the Book Issue form under third menu Book Issue. The student has to pay the fine if any on the basis of no. of days delayed deposit of the book in the library. 1.2 Objectives: The objective of the project is to deliver a working system which solves the problem regarding library system. Here we are going to design a standalone Library Management System which provides the following facilities: Create and maintain category, course etc Entered details about book, librarian, student etc. Issue book.

Find book outstanding. Find book over due.

1.3 Personal objectives Gaining experience in project management a software life cycle form start to finish. To apply knowledge acquired over the duration of the degree course. To gain reward from the developing a system of my invention and creation.

2.1 What is a Methodology? A method is an integrated set of procedures and techniques which, when applied in a certain sequence, result in the specification or generation of an information system. 2.1 Selection of a Methodology Many methodologies are available for systems development, but it is not a simple task to choose the best of the lot for a project. A methodology which worked well for one organization may not necessarily work for some other organization. This is so, because, methodologies are strong in some aspects and weak in others. For example, Soft System Methodology (SSM) has more relevance to a project where the problem situation is ill structured and there is no clear vision of the problem area.SSM covers mainly the analysis stage of the systems life cycle, and may be used with some other methodology to complete the design and implementation stage, for example Structured System Analysis Design Methodology (SSADM) or Information Engineering (IE). The organization which requested the development of this project, has well known, clear problem areas to be analyzed. Therefore, SSM is eliminated in the very outset. The choice has to be made between SSADM and IE. The methodology has to be one which has the ability to depict all the design information in a clear and consistent way. It also needs to have facilities which could deal with graphical user interfaces, because these are important part of my system. The methodology has to suit the programming language I am using which is ASP.net.It also needs the ability to refine design information without losing any information through the various models and stages. It has to be easy to make amendments as I come up with new ideas for the system. The methodology also needs to cater equally for technical documents and graphical

______________________________________________________________________________ 6

representations, and most importantly, it has to be easy to understand. Having analyzed the principles, advantages and disadvantages of methodologies available, SSADM is selected for this project. The reasons for this decision are: The methodology is more structured, which means it is easy to follow from one stage to another. Following the methodological form of SSADM, the goals and objectives of the system can be easily determined. SSADM suggests the use of three major conceptual tools for constructing the system models: data flow diagrams (DFDs), a data dictionary (DD) and structured English, which are the most appropriate tools for this project as the problem areas of the organization are well defined and clear. SSADM allows the use various techniques which check the integrity of each other. SSADM suggests the specification of the requirements of the system by having continuous user involvement throughout the project. SSADM is not only a very popular methodology but also proved its success in many information systems analysis and design cases.

2.3 Phases of SSADM The six phase of the methodology have been classified into two areas, three phases of system analysis and three phases of system design. Sometimes systems analysts not following a methodology like SSADM might find it difficult to decide on the level of detail being sought when reviewing the current system. This can cause paralysis by analysis, where vast amount of information can be gathered but no conclusion ever reached. By separating the system analysis activities from the system design activities, SSADM makes it easier to judge the proportion of time spent on analysis.

SOFTWARE PROCESS MODEL A software process model is a development strategy we incorporate to describe how a set of activities (the six phases of SSADM) must be performed and in which order to get the desired output. We already have a few process models defined and described. These are: 1. Code and Fix Model 2. Waterfall Model 3. Evolutionary Model 4. Transformation Model 5. Spiral Model The Code and Fix Model can actually be considered no model at all as there is nothing rigid and the developer has to follow his inspirations. The Evolutionary model is increment driven and a kind of trial and error method. The Transformation model can be called specification driven, as the development process occurs through iterative refinement of formal specifications. Spiral model is a met model that may be called risk driven. Although, the Waterfall model has its share of disadvantages like being not flexible and monolithic, yet for a small and quite simple project like this, the models rigid and documentation driven approach is best suited. Also, since there is already a manual system available, the requirements are clear. For such a situation, the Waterfall model is the best choice.

PRELIMINARY SURVEY REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE CRITERIA VOLUME OF TRANSACTION (DATA HANDLING) CONTROL ASPECTS TIMELINESS ARCHIVAL SYSTEM HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIRED

______________________________________________________________________________ 13

14 System 4.1 Preliminary Survey

Library Management

The problem forwarded by the client is actually to upgrade their already existing Library Management System. The client already had a set system which was computerized. This computerized system was although efficient, but very time consuming. Also, the different modules were not fully integrated and needed an absolute understanding of the whole system to give the desired results. The main problems found out were bottlenecks at the user end because of slow data flow rate in that system. So, a preliminary survey was done to check whether any simple modification could actually stimulate the system. The only problem is the development of software which is both feasible and efficient. This proves to be a good scope to implement my knowledge and develop a worthy final semester project. 4.2 Requirement Specifications After the preliminary survey and listening to the clients requirements following requirements were listed: Create and maintain different accounts like saving account, current account etc. Maintaining deposit and withdraw of each account securely. Balance Enquiry Proper help to be provided as and when requested by the user. Enables the user to successfully log in to the system. Enables to add new user, branch, create account, modify account, deposit and withdrawal amount, etc to the database. Enables users to check transaction status. Make a provision of tracking of each user who is log in to the system. Enables user to log out of the system.

4.3 Performance Criteria

______________________________________________________________________________ 14

15 System

Library Management

After the initial investigation of the present system and the clients requirements some performance criteria were deduced. These criteria cover both the software and the hardware aspect of the project. The performance criteria for the proposed system are categorically given below: Volume of Transaction (Data Handling) The volume of transaction for a system is the maximum data that could be passed in a given unit time. After the preliminary examination of the system the following transaction volumes and information were noticed: Peak number of new employees recruited in a single day in the past: 6(Six) Peak number of employees issued pay slip in a single day in the past: 11(Eleven). Peak number of employees giving attendance at a time in a single day in the past: 20(Twenty). Peak number of attendance report generated in a single day: 2(Two). Peak amount paid as a salary in a single day in the past: Rs 70,000.00(Seventy Thousand only) Control Aspects The major decision making subsystem that controls the pattern of activities governing input, processing and output is called the control aspect of the whole system. Timeliness Timeliness is a major performance criterion for the Library Management System. It is actually a major flaw in the present system. Archival Data in the present system is stored in paper files and updated to computerized form afterwards. This not only is time consuming but also error prone. But at least the fear of data loss is not there as, data is stored both as soft copy and a back-up hard copy. 4.4 System Hardware and Software Required Hardware Constraints 1. Monitors: 800x600 minimum resolutions at 16 colors minimum. 2. Memory: Approximately 8 megabytes of on board memory. ______________________________________________________________________________ 15

16 System

Library Management

3. I/O: One or two button mouse and standard 101-key keyboard. 4. MHz: At least 166 MHz should be on the computer Then, to choose the language various alternatives were checked.Programing languages such as C or COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) was mainly used in business management controls systems. But since the main aspects of the required system required the use of a database, Oracle, SQL, or MS Access seemed to be the perfect alternatives. But the final semester project was to be in RDBMS which would have a good scope in the market in the future. Since, MS Access is used for large databases it was chosen. Dot net Framework The .NET Framework is Microsoft's comprehensive and consistent programming model for building applications that have visually stunning user experiences, seamless and secure communication, and the ability to model a range of business processes. We can make use .Net Framework as a development environment or a platform for developing user friendly web-based applications that can allow seamless access by users from any where in the world and from any type of client machines. You can apply the open standards such as XML (extensible Markup Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) for developing your webapplications and web applications created with such open standards can interact well with other applications of other platforms. We can use different programming languages such as C#, VBScript, VB.NET, Managed C++ for developing your applications in .NET Framework, as the .NET Framework is not dependent on one particular language or platform and can support many kinds of platforms and programming languages that are in use today. Further, you can use .NET Framework for running your applications in almost all platforms such as Linux, Macintosh and UNIX without any hitches. The presence of many off-the-shelf libraries in .NET Framework can assist you in developing your applications in a faster, cheaper and easier manner. The most

17 System

Library Management

recent .Net Framework version is capable of supporting over 20 different programming languages today. The functionality of .Net Framework supporting many programming languages is due to the use of the powerful CLR, the Common Language Runtime engine. The application programming codes are first compiled by CLR into a Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code instead of native codes and the MSIL, which is nothing but an instruction set, in turn creates the native code for running the application. The main advantage of language and platform independent feature of .NET Framework can be attributed to CLR and the same CLR also takes care of run-time services such as memory processes, security enforcement, integration of language, and thread management. Hence, you can make use of the various infrastructures that have been provided in .NET Framework for creating your web-applications. As per the classification by the Microsoft, there are two categories of .NET Framework and they are CLR and .Net Framework class library. Common Language Runtime: The CLR is responsible for providing a common runtime environment or services with which all .NET applications can run. Further, the various capabilities of CLR can enable any developer to write even big applications with ease using the features such as strong type naming, life-cycle management, dynamic binding that is capable of making any business logic into re-usable component and finally the cross-language exception handling. .Net Framework class library: This class library constitutes various predefined functional sets that are very useful while developing the applications by developers. There are three main components in this class library and they are: Asp.net Windows Forms Dotnet

ABOUT SQL SERVER 2005 express edition SQL Server 2005 Express is much improved over its MSDE predecessor in that visual tools are provided along with the database engine. These tools enable you to manage services, networking protocols, and configurations. The tools also provide the ability to manage databases and their objects, such as tables, views, stored procedures, functions, and more. It is a relational SQL DBMS. In other words, it is a DBMS that is based on the relational model of database management, and influenced by the ANSI SQL-92 language standard.

Library Management

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application used to design and generate reports from a wide range of data sources. Several other applications, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, bundle an OEM version of Crystal Reports as a general purpose reporting tool. Crystal Reports became the de facto report writer when Microsoft released it with Visual Basic. Crystal Reports is used to design a report that enables users to drill down on a chart and filter information, in accordance with their needs. That report has been included in a VB.NET project, and then displayed in a Web Form with a Crystal Report Viewer control that is bound to that report. The report can be interacted with by use of the Report Document object model.

FEASIBILITY STUDY The objective of this feasibility study was to analyze whether the company could improve its working practices, speed up the time to make a sale and generate more business. To carry on with further analysis the main feasibility issues were examined. These are as follows: Technical feasibility Economical feasibility Operational feasibility

Following feasibility report was developed after the completion of the feasibility study. 5.1 Technical feasibility The technical feasibility usually centers on the computer system. It is actually to test how sound the company is technically; whether the candidate system is a good answer to the problems etc. During this test we got the following results: Since the company was already dealing with IT enabled services, it had the required hardware. The volumes of transaction expected for the candidate system were well within the capacity of the computers the company had. If any new requirements were to crop up during or after the development or installation of the software, the system could also be expanded. The system was to be tested for accuracy and reliability. So, those two features were guaranteed. Development does not worth a rare task. In my project I choose the most effective modules of the whole system like payroll, attendance, employee management etc. So, the tasks were going to be repetitive and there was an absolute need of computerization. In my project I had broken complex task down to small tasks or modules to allow easy automation.

______________________________________________________________________________ 21

22 System

Library Management

Computer system gives fast responses if required and are designed to do so. This project certainly had speed a requirement. A high speed network with large RAM in each PC is going to fulfill this requirement.

5.2 Economical Feasibility To check this feasibility, first of all the prices of the software to be used were surveyed. The company already had the required hardware and operating system. What required were MS Office and MS Visual Studio 2005? The estimated cost were MS Visual Studio 2005 MS Office = Rs.40, 000.00 = Rs.30, 000.00

Total cost of the implementation of the system was Rest. 70,000.00. Although in my case cost was not a matter, yet to complete the development life cycle this feasibility was done. And, it was deduced that any amount above Rs.70, 000.00 was a flat profit for the developers. 5.3 Operational feasibility Peoples inherent resistance to change is tested in this study. The employees behavior towards a new system, their zest to learn and work in a new environment and their willingness to adapt to the change are some important aspects in making a system successful. After the operational feasibility study what was found out were the following: All the employees are experts in their domains in the field of computers. So, training was never going to be a problem as they could easily cope with this new software. The management was more than willing to help and support to make the project a success. The end users were of the option that the new system was going to lighten the burden on them. They had full support for the system as that would make their own ambience hi-tech.

Although the current system is very much acceptable to the users, they definitely have a wish to work in a more efficient and automated system. The users were thoroughly involved in the planning and development process. They gave full assistance and showed no sign of resistance.

6.1 System Analysis

System analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a system and their relationships within and outside of the system. This involves gathering information and using structured tools for analysis. One aspect of analysis is defining the boundaries of the system and whether or not a candidate system should consider other related systems. During analysis, data are collected on the available files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. Once analysis is completed, the analyst has a firm understanding of what is to be done. The next step is to decide how the problem might be solved. 6.2 STRUCTURED ANALYSIS Structured analysis is a set of techniques and graphical tools that allow the analyst to develop a new kind of system specifications that are easily understandable to the user. The basic tools for structured analysis are:a) b) c) d) e) Context diagram Data flow diagram Data dictionary Decision tree Decision table

CONTEXT DIAGRAM:-The context diagram is the starting point of this analysis and is used to show the highest level in the model of the system. They are used to pictorially represent the scope as well as the boundaries of the system. DATA FLOW DIAGRAM: - A DFD has the purpose of clarifying the system requirements and identifying major transformations that will be become programs in system design. So it is the starting point of the design phase that functionally decomposes the requirements specifications down to the lowest level of detail. Moreover, DFD is a graphical representation of the system that shows data flows to, from and within the system, processing functions that change the data in the same manner and the storage of this data. They are constructed using the context diagram as a top level guide. Data can be organized in several ways:

1. A square defines a source or destination of system data. 2. An arrow identifies data flow- data in motion. It is a pipeline through which information flows. 3. A circle represents a process that transforms incoming data flows into outgoing data flows. 4. An open rectangle is a data store- data at rest, or a temporary repository of data. A DFD describes what data flow rather than how they are processed, so it does not depend on hardware, software, data structure or file organization. Following are the basic elements of a DFD which are used in the DFD of the project:

29 System SYSTEM DESIGN 7.1 INTRODUCTION

Library Management

System design deals with the detailed concentration on the technical and the other specifications that will make the new system operational. A major step in the design is the preparation of input and the design of output reports in a form acceptable to the user. System design provides the necessary understanding and the procedural details needed to implement the system as recommended by the feasibility study. System design goes through the following phases:1) Logical design phase 2) Physical design phase, which consists of the following 7.2 INPUT DESIGN The goal of designing input data is to make data entry as easy, logical, and free from errors as possible, in entering data, operators need to know the following: 1) The allocated space for each field. 2) Field sequence, which must match that in the source document 3) The format in which data fields are entered 7.3 OUTPUT DESIGN Computer output is the most important and direct source of information to the user. Efficient, intelligible output design should improve the systems relationships with the user and help in decision making. A major form of output is a hard copy from the printer. Printouts should be designed around the output requirements of the user. 7.4 FORM DESIGN Form is the physical carrier of data-of information. People read from forms, write on forms, and spend billions of hours handling forms and filing forms. The data the forms carry come from people, and the informational output of the system goes to people. So, the form is a tool with a message. With this in mind, it is hard to imagine a business operating without using forms.

______________________________________________________________________________ 29

30 System Requirements of Forms Design:-

Library Management

Forms design follows analyzing forms, evaluating present documents, and creating new and improved forms. Since the purpose of a form is to communicate effectively through forms design, there are several major requirements:1) Identification and wording: - The form title must clearly identify its purpose. Columns and rows should label to avoid confusion. 2) Maximum readability and use:-The form should be easy to use and fill out. It should be legible, intelligible, inserting data. 3) Physical factors:-The forms composition, color, layout and paper stock should lead them to easy reading. Pages should be numbered when multiple reports are being generated for the user. 7.5 DATABASE DESIGN Database systems are designed to manage large amount of information. The management includes both the definition of the structures for the storage of information and provision for mechanism for the manipulation of information. In addition it provides safety to the data stored in the database. In database design, several specific objectives are considered:1) Controlled redundancy: - Redundant data occupies space and, therefore, is wasteful. If versions of the same data are in different phases of updating, the system often gives conflicting information. A unique aspect of database design is storing data only once, which controls redundancy and improves system performance. 2) Data independence: - An important data base objective is changing hardware and storage procedures or adding new data without having to rewrite application programs. The database should be tunableto improve performance without rewriting programs. 3) More information at low cost: - Using, storing, and modifying data at low cost are important. Although hardware prices are falling, software and programming costs are on and uncomplicated. Ample writing space must provide for

______________________________________________________________________________ 30

31 System

Library Management

the rise. This means that programming and software enhancements should be kept simple and easy to update. 4) Accuracy and integrity: - The accuracy of a database ensures that data quality and content remain constant. Integrity controls detect data inaccuracies where they occur. 5) Recovery from failure: - With multi-user access to a database, the system must recover quickly after it is down with no loss of transaction.

8.1 INTRODUCTION A system should be thoroughly tested before implementation. The purpose of system testing is to identify and correct errors in the candidate system. In system testing, performance and acceptance standards are developed. Substandard performance or service interruptions that result in system failure are checked during the test. 8.2 CODING Sample coding: ADD BOOK FORMS Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class FrmAddBooks Dim conn As New SqlConnection(str) Private Sub CmdCancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CmdCancel.Click Me.Close() End Sub Private Sub FrmAddBooks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Category() txtbookNo.Text = BookNo() End Sub Public Function Category() conn.Close() Dim strSql As String strSql = "SELECT Category_Name FROM Category" Dim cmdSql As New SqlCommand(strSql, conn) Dim drTable As SqlDataReader conn.Open() drTable = cmdSql.ExecuteReader() While (drTable.Read()) cbcategory.Items.Add(drTable.GetString(0)) End While conn.Close() Return 0 End Function Private Sub CmdSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CmdSave.Click

System testing is designed to uncover weaknesses that were not found in earlier tests. This includes forced system failure and validation of the total system as it will be implemented by its users in the operational environment. Generally, it begins with low volumes of transactions based on live data. The volume is increased until the ______________________________________________________________________________ 36

37 System

Library Management

maximum level for each transaction type is reached. The total system is also tested for recovery and fallback after various major failures to ensure that no data are lost during the emergency. All this is done with the old system still in operation. After the candidate system passes the test, the old system is discontinued. System testing consists of the following steps:1. Program testing: - A program represents the logical elements of a system. For a program to run satisfactorily, it must compile and test data correctly and tie in properly with other programs. Achieving an error-free program is the responsibility of the programmer. Program testing checks for two types of errors:syntax and logic. A syntax error is a program statement that violates one or more of the rules of the language in which it is written. A logic error, on the other hand, deals with incorrect data fields, out-of-range items, and invalid combinations. 2. When a program tested, the actual output is compared with expected output. When there is a discrepancy, the sequence of instructions must be tested to determine the problem. The process is facilitated by breaking the program down into self-contained portions, each of which can be checked at certain key points. 3. String testing: - Programs are invariably related to one another and interact in a total system. Each program is tested to see whether it conforms to related programs in the system. Each portion of the system is tested against the entire module with both test and live data before the entire system is ready to be tested. 4. User Acceptance testing: - This is the last stage of system testing. An acceptance test has the objective of selling the user on the validity and the reliability of the system. It verifies that the systems procedures operate to system specifications and that the integrity of the integrity of vital data is maintained. Performance of an acceptance test is actually the users show. User motivation and knowledge are critical for the successful performance of the system. 5. System Implementation:-After a thorough testing of different aspects of the system as described above the system is ready for implementation. The system

CONCLUSION
It is difficult to summarize the multitudinous knowledge that has been acquired throughout the life of this project, but hopefully this report and conclusion has attempted to give the reader a full appreciation of the vast scale of learning that has been achieved. Many new things were learnt and full revision of what has been covered to date in the course was also attained, resulting in a feeling of confidence for the future, and any other project that may come my way. My understanding of what the project was supposed to manifest was that a great deal can be learnt through practical experience and making mistakes. I would now know what to change if I were to repeat the same project, and where my focus of concentration should lie. This may not have been possible simply from reading a book. A sound awareness of the importance of hands on experience and the inevitability of oversight and learning from them was gained and has, I believe academic improved my all round abilities, especially relating to computing.

FUTURE SCOPE:
This application can be easily implemented under various situations. We can add new features as and when we require. Reusability is possible as and when require in this application. There is flexibility in all the modules. SOFTWARE SCOPE: Extensibility: This software is extendable in ways that its original developers may not expect. The following principles enhance extensibility like hide data structure, avoid traversing multiple links or methods, avoid case statements on object type and distinguish public and private operations. Reusability: Reusability is possible as and when require in this application. We can update it next version. Reusable software reduces design, coding and testing cost by amortizing effort over several designs. Reducing the amount of code also simplifies understanding, which increases the likelihood that the code is correct. We follow up both types of reusability: Sharing of newly written code within a project and reuse of previously written code on new projects. Online Library Management System Understandability: A method is understandable if someone other than the creator of the method can understand the code (as well as the creator after a time lapse). We use the method, which small and coherent helps to accomplish this. Cost-effectiveness: Its cost is under the budget and make within given time period. It is desirable to aim for a system with a minimum cost subject to the condition that it must satisfy the entire requirement. Scope of this document is to put down the requirements, clearly dentifying the information needed by the user, the source of the information and outputs expected from the system.
