Library Management System Project Charter
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Conventional libraries are having difficulty integrating various formats, including multimedia and e-resources, because of outdated management
systems. Inefficient cataloging, resource tracking bottlenecks, and a lack of analytics tools hinder librarians from optimizing collections and improving
PROBLEM
user experiences. To close the gap, libraries require a modern library management system with an intuitive interface, effective cataloging, and analytics
OR ISSUE capabilities to resurrect libraries as vibrant centers of knowledge and community involvement in the digital era.
PURPOSE The Library Management System project aims to enhance the overall efficiency, accessibility, and user satisfaction of the library services, ultimately
OF PROJECT contributing to an enriched learning and research environment within the institution.
BUSINESS Implementing an LMS will lead to better resource utilization, increased accessibility to library materials, improved patron services, and enhanced
CASE administrative efficiency.
The library management system automates material purchasing, tracking, and user profiles with secure access levels. It automates checkouts, returns,
WITHIN
and reminders for due dates and late fees. It generates reports for informed decisions and includes features for material reservations, event management,
SCOPE and gathering patron feedback.
Infrastructure physical maintenance in case the error does not come from us.
OUTSIDE
Integration with other systems not developed by us.
OF SCOPE Development of advanced features such as RFID technology integration or predictive analytics.
