1.1 Purpose
The main objective of this document is to illustrate the
requirements of the project Library Management system. The
document gives the detailed description of the both functional and
non-functional requirements proposed by the client.The purpose of
this project is to provide a friendly environment to maintain the
details of books and library members.The main purpose of this project
is to maintain easy circulation system using computers and to provide
different reports. This project describes the hardware and software
interface requirements using ER diagrams and UML diagrams.

1.3 Scope of Development Project


Library Management System is basically updating the manual
library system into an internet-based application so that the users can
know the details of their accounts, availability of books and maximum
limit for borrowing.
The project is specifically designed for the use of librarians and
library users. The product will work as a complete user interface for
library management process and library usage from ordinary users.
Library Management System can be used by any existing or
new library to manage its books and book borrowing, insertion and
monitoring. It is especially useful for any educational institute where
modifications in the content can be done easily according to
requirements.
The project can be easily implemented under various situations.
We can add new features as and when we require, making reusability
possible as there is flexibility in all the modules. The language used
for developing the project is Java as it is quite advantageous than
other languages in terms of performance, tools available, cross
platform compatibility, libraries, cost (freely available), and
development process.
