DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BOOKS AND LIBRARY LENDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
Library management, its operation has never been easy to run effectively manually, lending of books, records of returned books, books in the library, its shift and many more. This research work will dwell more on developing and implementing a comprehensive library management system capable of handling the library operation, like book lending, retrieval/return, staffs/students registration, book registration, update, search and delete. I used the Entity-Relationship model to design a database that will store and organize the library’s data. I also created the database using SQL and populated it with some sample Data. In order to archive this research work, a sophisticated program language was chosen – VB.Net using visual studio 2012 ultimate development environment to implement the work. At the end of the research work the system was tested and its corresponding outcome was as expected, and all security issues was checked and considered for security measures. I conclude that library management software is a powerful and effective tools to be used in every library for effective management.
