Abstract. With the need of informationization and modernization of colleges, more and more
colleges choose to move towards the direction of digital library management. As a transmission
center of information in colleges, library plays a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge and
spiritual civilization. The level of library construction is closely related to the quality of teaching in
colleges. In the 1990s, with the increasing enrollment, more and more students enter into the
university, increasingly updated information and technology rushed to society, it becomes more
urgent for students desire to understand new knowledge and technology, while solving this urgent
need can not be solved depending on the classroom teaching. The library's old management
methods can not adapt to the development of the times, in order to better solve this contradiction,
we found that carry out optimization and the upgrade to the management of the library, moving to
its automated management, then better meet the needs of colleges and students demand.

Introduction
With the rapid development of computer technology, the application of computer technology in all
walks of life has been widely popular. The development of modern information technology has led
to the progress of the library in the direction of automation, network and digitization. Due to the
increase in the collection of library books and the increasing demand for information, the traditional
manual management methods have many shortcomings , the main performance is that the efficiency
of handling of borrowing books and returning books process is very low, obviously it can not adapt
to the current information society. The library business has been impacted greatly, forcing people to
intensify toopen the new information management methods to manage the pace of books in order to
improve efficiency, reduce staff work pressure and reduce the probability of error, but also allows
readers to have more time to choose books and read books. Book management system is a typical
information management system, how to use the existing scientific and technological conditions to
improve the management efficiency of books is our urgent problem to be considered and solved.
This paper combined the basic requirements of modern library management system, discussed the
specific process of system developmentin detail, including feasibility analysis, demand analysis,
system design, database design and coding test and other links. It basically meet the requirements of
the daily management of small libraries, to achieve the desired design goals.

Introduction of Java
Java was developed by a team of James Gosling, Sun Microsystems. Originally called Oak, it was
designed in 1991 for embedded customer electronics applications. In 1995, it was renamed
Java,redesigned to develop Internet applications. Java programs can be embedded in HTML pages,
downloaded by the Web browser, bringing animation and exchange of enjoymentfor the Web
customers. BecauseJava is free, as well as simple, cross-platform, object-oriented and many other
advantages, has quickly been recognized by this industry, becoming the most widely applied
programming language.
Because it is a common programming language, Java's powerful features are not limited to Web
applications. Its programming capabilities are complete and can be used to develop separate
applications. Java is inherently object oriented. Although many object-oriented languages were
originally a strict procedural language, Java was designed from the beginning to be object-oriented.

Library Management System Requirements Analysis

In order to realize a simple and full-featured book inventory management information system,
through the communication with the library staff, made an in-depth analysis on the basic functions
of inventory management, holding the basic ideas of first phase of the construction, firstlyproviding
a basic library inventory management system. On the whole, the inventory management system
needs to be able to provide inventory management, book borrowing andreturning functions, the
basic management functions of library managers and the user's quick query and retrieval function.
Based on the overall functions of library inventory management information system, the
functions of the system are divided into several aspects. The inventory management system is
divided from the point of view of functions, including library storage, library management, book
circulation management, statistical query function, the corresponding functional requirements were
shown in Fig. 1.

Figure 1. Finite Library inventory management system function requirements map

Book storage function is the basis of the library inventory management system, through this
function to achievethe storage operation for all books, mainly for the new purchased books,
therefore, books need to provide basic information on books, including this book name, bar code,
author, classification number, category name, shelf number, press, publication date, storage date and
book price and other information. In the process of storage it should be provided the add, delete,
revoke and other functions, to achieve the process of storage changes and other operations.

Database Conception Design

According to the above analysis of the needs analysis, the system design to planthe database entities
used in the system, they are book information entities, book classification entities, readers
information entities, operator information entities, book borrowing information entities, inventory
information entities, respectively. The book information entity and the book classification entity, the
book borrows the information entity, the storage information entity have the relation, while the
reader information entity and the book borrowing entity also have the relation. Here are the E-R
diagrams for several key entities.
Book information entity includes the book number, book category number, title, author,
translator, publisher, price, publishing time and other attributes. Therein, the book number is the
primary key of the book information entity, the book category number is the foreign key of the book
information entity, and the book type entity has the outside key relation. Book information entity
E-R diagram was shown in Fig. 2.

System Overall Design

In order to meet the requirements of university library informatization, the system adopts
ApacheTomcat + SQLServer. The system design follows the principle of separating the business
logic and system from the current software industry. The hierarchical implementation not only
strengthens the flexibility and scalability of the whole product,but also enhance the independence of
the system modules, if a module layer changes, it will not affect the other module layer, greatly
enhancing the entire product maintainability and flexibility.
The system design first needs to make the corresponding module division. Based on the basis of
the requirement of file management system management, the system is divided into three parts: file
retrieval function module, file management function module, system management function module.
(1) File retrieval module -Retrieve file by conditions: Search condition includes file name (fuzzy
search), file level (exact search), file description (fuzzy search);
(2) File management module - by department structure management file: department structure
can be managed through the system management settings, specific operations, including archiving
file upload, view, delete.
(3) System management module - mainly realize department management, user management,
rights management, file level management.

Design of the Partial Module of System

System management module is the core of the entire system, the general operation of the module
can only be carried out by the system administrator, such that the staff need to have this power, they
must get the authority of the administrator. System management module specific functional
structure was shown in Fig. 3, the administrator can enter the login interface.There are four
sub-modules in the system management module, namely the department management module, the
user management module, the rights management module and the file level management module.

Figure 3. Finite The structural image of system management module

The Design of Privilege Management Module

The module is the core of all modules, making settings for the file and user permissions, you can do
the following operations: view (de-fault.jsp), permissions setting (qxiant.jsp). The module is mainly
on the user's permissions setting, you can set the permissionlevel of user to read the file, set the
contents that can be viewed.To achieve the rights management module function of the source
program is as follows:
strSQL=″update userlist set filejb= ′″+ filejb
+″′where user id=′″+userid+″′″;
sqlStm.t execute Update(strSQL);
strSQL=″update tree user set ischeck =′0′
where userid=′″+userid+″′″;
sqlStm.t execute Update(strSQL);
strSQL=″update tree user set ischeck =′1′

where userid=′″+userid+″′and left(id,4) in(″+isC+″)″;

qlStm.t executeUpdate(strSQL);
strSQL=″update tree users et ischeck =′1′
where userid =′″+ userid +″′ and id in (″+isB+″)″;
qlStm.t execute Update(strSQL).
