 Abstract of the Project Library Management System:

The purpose of Library Management System is to automate the existing manual system by the help
of computerized equipments and full-fledged computer software, fulfilling their requirements, so
that their valuable data/information can be stored for a longer period with easy accessing and
manipulation of the same. The required software and hardware are easily available and easy to work
with.

Library Management System, as described above, can lead to error free, secure, reliable and fast
management system. It can assist the user to concentrate on their other activities rather to
concentrate on the record keeping. Thus it will help organization in better utilization of resources.
The organization can maintain computerized records without redundant entries. That means that
one need not be distracted by information that is not relevant, while being able to reach
theinformation.

The aim is to automate its existing manual system by the help of computerized equipments and full-
fledged computer software, fulfilling their requirements, so that their valuable data/information can
be stored for a longer period with easy accessing and manipulation of the same. Basically the project
describes how to manage for good performance and better services for the clients.

 Software Requirement Specification

The Software Requirements Specification is produced at the culmination of the analysis task.
The function and performance allocated to software as part of system engineering are refined by
establishing a complete information description, a detailed functional and behavioral description, an
indication of performance requirements and design constraints, appropriate validation criteria, and
other data pertinent to requirements.

HTML- HTMLorHyper Text Markup Languageis the main markuplanguage

forcreating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a
webbrowser.HTML iswrittenintheformofHTML elementsconsistingoftagsenclosed in
angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tagsmost commonly
come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags representempty elements and so
are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is thestart tag, and the second tag
is the end tag (they are also called opening tags andclosing tags). In between these tags web
designers can add text, further tags,comments and other types of text-based content. The
purpose of a web browser is toread HTML documents and compose them into visible or
audible web pages. Thebrowser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to
interpret the content ofthe page.HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites.
HTML allowsimages and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive
forms. Itprovidesameanstocreatestructureddocumentsby denotingstructuralsemanticsfor
text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It canembed scripts
written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior ofHTMLwebpages.

MYSQL- MySQL("My S-Q-L", officially, but also called "My Sequel") is (as ofJuly2013) the world's
second most widely used open-source relational database managementsystem (RDBMS). It is named
after co-founder Michael Widenius daughter, My. TheSQL phrase stands for Structured Query
Language. The MySQL development projecthas made its source code available under the terms of the
GNU General Public License,as well as under avarietyof proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned
and sponsored by a single for-profitfirm,theSwedish companyMySQLAB,now owned byOracle
Corporation
.
 MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a centralcomponent
of the widely used LAMP open source web application software stack (andother 'AMP'
stacks). LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL,Perl/PHP/Python." Free-software-
open source projects that require a full-featureddatabase management system often use
MySQL. For commercial use, several paideditions are available, and offer additional
functionality. Applications which use MySQLdatabases
include: TYPO3, MODx, Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, Drupal and

othersoftware. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale websites,

includingWikipedia,Google(though notforsearches), Facebook,Twitter, and YouTube

Python :-Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with

dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing
and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well
as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together.
Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost
of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages
program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard
library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and
can be freely distributed.
 Identification of need:

The old manual system was suffering from a series of drawbacks. Since whole of the system
was to be maintained with hands the process of keeping, maintaining and retrieving the information
was very tedious and lengthy. The records were never used to be in a systematic order. there used to
be lots of difficulties in associating any particular transaction with a particular context. If any
information was to be found it was required to go through the different registers, documents there
would never exist anything like report generation. There would always be unnecessary consumption
of time while entering records and retrieving records. One more problem was that it was very
difficult to find errors while entering the records. Once the records were entered it was very difficult
to update these records.

The reason behind it is that there is lot of information to be maintained and have to be kept
in mind while running the business .For this reason we have provided features Present system is
partially automated (computerized), actually existing system is quite laborious as one has to enter
same information at three differentplaces.

Following points should be well considered:

 Documents and reports that must be provided by the new system: there can also be few
reports, which can help management in decision-making and cost controlling, but since these
reports do not get required attention, such kind of reports and information were also
identified and given requiredattention.
 Details of the information needed for each document andreport.
 The required frequency and distribution for eachdocument.
 Probable sources of information for each document andreport.
 With the implementation of computerized system, the task of keeping records in an organized
manner will be solved. The greatest of all is the retrieval of information, which will be at the
click of the mouse. So the proposed system helps in saving the time in different operations
and making information flow easy g
 User Interface Design

User Interface Design is concerned with the dialogue between a user and the computer. It is

concerned with everything from starting the system or logging into the system to the eventually

presentation of desired inputs and outputs. The overall flow of screens and messages is called a

dialogue.

The following steps are various guidelines for User Interface Design:

1. The system user should always be aware of what to donext.

2. The screen should be formatted so that various types of information, instructions and

messages always appear in the same general displayarea.

3. Message, instructions or information should be displayed long enough to allow the system

user to readthem.

4. Use display attributessparingly.

5. Default values for fields and answers to be entered by the user should be specified.

6. A user should not be allowed to proceed without correcting anerror.

7. The system user should never get an operating system message or fatalerror.
  Benefit toOrganization

The organization will obviously be able to gain benefits such as savings in operating cost,
reduction in paperwork, better utilization of human resources and more presentable image
increasing goodwill.

 The InitialCost

The initial cost of setting up the system will include the cost of hardware software (OS, add-
on software, utilities) &labour (setup & maintenance). The same has to bear by the organization.

 Running Cost

Besides, the initial cost the long term cost will include the running cost for the system
including the AMC, stationary charges, cost for human resources, cost for update/renewal of
various related software.

 Need forTraining

The users along with the administrator need to be trained at the time of implementation of
the system for smooth running of the system. The client will provide the training site.
 We talked to the management people who were managing a the financial issues of the center,
the staff who were keeping the records in lots of registers and the reporting manager regarding their
existing system, their requirements and their expectations from the new proposed system. Then, we
did the system study of the entire system based on their requirements and the additional features
they wanted to incorporate in thissystem.

Reliable, accurate and secure data was also considered to be a complex task without this
proposed system. Because there was no such record for keeping track of all the activities, which was
done by the Library Management System on the daily basis.

The new system proposed and then developed by me will ease the task of the organization in
consideration. It will be helpful in generating the required reports by the staff, which will help them
to track their progress and services.

Thus, it will ease the task of Management to a great extent as all the major activities to be
performed, are computerized through this system.
 System Implementation

1. main.py

1.1. Importing the Modules

To use the Tkinter we need to import the Tkinter module. As stated above, we have
imported each file so that we can make function calls from our main file.
1.2. Connecting to the MySql server
Now we will connect to the server with the correct credentials associated with the MySql
server installed on our system.

1.3. Designing the Window

Now we will design the project window and add a background image. Make sure to keep the
image in the same directory as the project is in order to avoid discrepancies.

1.4. Adding a Background Image

We store our image in background_image with the help of .open() method. We fetch
the image dimensions and adjust the image size according to our window size.

newImageHeight and newImageWidth contains the adjusted image dimensions.

Now we resize the image using .resize() method using the new dimensions.

The .PhotoImage() method is used to display images (either grayscale or true color
images) in labels, buttons, canvases, and text widgets.

We create the image on the canvas1 using .create_image() method. We

use .pack() method to organize widgets in blocks before placing them in the parent
widget.

1.6. Adding the Buttons

 Future Scope of the Project:

In a nutshell, it can be summarized that the future scope of the project circles around
maintaining information regarding:

 We can add printer infuture.

 We can give more advance software for Library Management System including morefacilities


 Integrate multiple load balancers to distribute the loads of thesystem

 Create the master and slave database structure to reduce the overload of the database.queries
 Implement the backup mechanism for taking backup of codebase and database on regular
basis on differentservers

The above mentioned points are the enhancements which can be done to increase the
applicability and usage of this project. Here we can maintain the records of Student and Books. Also,
as it can be seen that now-a-days the players are versatile, i.e. so there is a scope for introducing a
method to maintain the Library Management System. Enhancements can be done to maintain all the
Student, Books, Issues, Librarian, Member.

We have left all the options open so that if there is any other future requirement in the
system by the user for the enhancement of the system then it is possible to implement them.In the
last we would like to thanks all the persons involved in the development of the system directly or
indirectly. We hope that the project will serve its purpose for which it is develop there by
underlining success ofprocess.
