Title of the project
Development of an online Library Management System (LiMS)
Abstract of the project
This project is aimed at developing an online Library Management System (LiMS) for the college library. This is an Intranet based application that can be accessed throughout the campus. This system can be used to search for books/magazines, reserve books, find out who is having a particular book, put in requests to buy a new book etc. This is one integrated system that contains both the user component and the librarian component. There are features like email notifications/reminders, report generators etc in this system.

Functional components of the project
Following is a list of functionalities of the system. More functionalities that you find appropriate can be added to this list. And, in places where the description of a functionality is not adequate, you can make appropriate assumptions and proceed.
There are registered people in the system (students, faculty, librarian et al). Each one of them may have some exclusive privileges (faculty, for example, could borrow reference books for a short period, while students cannot).
1.A person should be able to
login to the system through the first page of the application
change the password after logging into the system
see the status of the books/journals borrowed/reserved by him and the respective due dates and other relevant details
search for a particular book/journal based on the name of the book/name of the author/subject/etc and also list for books/journals based on the name of the autor/subject etc
reserve a particular book/journal borrowed by others currently
cancel the reservation made earlier for a particular book/journal
see who has borrowed a particular book/journal and when is the due date for the same
place requests for purchasing new books to the library, by giving details about the name of the book, name of the author, publisher etc.
get help about the LiMS on how to use the different features of the system
2.As soon as a reservation is made for a particular book, an automatic mail should be sent to the person who made the reservation about the details. Then, a mail should be sent to people who are having the book currently, stating a reservation has been made on that book.
3.Automatic mails should be sent to the users about the expiry of due dates for the books/journals borrowed by them. An advance notification (say, 4 days before the expiry of the due date) should be sent as well.
4.The librarian should be able to
include new books/journals or remove some books from the inventory
add new users to the system
see the purchase requests for new books and be able to approve/reject the same
Steps to start-off the project
The following steps will be helpful to start off the project.
1.Study and be comfortable with technologies such as Active Server Pages/HTML and SQL server. Some links to these technologies are given in the ‘Guidelines and References’ section of this document
2.Make a database of books/journals
3.Make a list of students/faculty who would be using the system
4.Create the front-page of the system giving a brief description about the system and a login box
5.Create the help-pages of the system in the form of Q&A. This will help you also when implementing the system
6.Create other sub-systems like automatic notification, screens for various functions (like reservation, cancellation of reservation, purchase request for new books, approval page for the librarian etc)
