Conclusion

This Chapter is Discussed About Summary And Limitation And Future

Work
5.1 Summary
This project implements a library management system using the linked
list data structure. Each node in the linked list represents a book,
containing attributes like book ID, title, author, and availability status.
Basic operations such as adding, deleting, and searching books are
efficiently handled using the linked list. Borrowing and returning books
are managed by updating the availability status. The linked list allows
dynamic memory allocation, ensuring efficient management of varying
book collections. This system provides a simple and structured way to
maintain library records and ensures easy extensibility for future
enhancements.

5.2 Limitation

 Sequential Access:
Linked lists do not allow random access to elements. To access a specific book, you must
traverse the list sequentially from the head, which can be time-consuming for large
libraries.
 Higher Memory Usage:
Each node in a linked list requires additional memory for the pointer/reference to the next
node. This overhead can be significant when managing a large number of books.
 Complex Operations:
Operations like searching, insertion, and deletion (other than at the head) are more complex
and slower compared to arrays due to the need to traverse the list to find the desired
position.

©Daffodil International 1
University 4
  No Direct Indexing:
Linked lists lack direct indexing, making it challenging to retrieve books based on their
position in the list without iterating through the elements.

5.3 Future Work

Future work involves enhancing the library management system by
integrating a user-friendly interface and implementing data persistence
using external storage. The system can be expanded to support
advanced features like search filters and user account management.
Multi-threading can be introduced to handle concurrent users efficiently.
Additionally, optimizing linked list operations will ensure scalability and
improved performance for larger libraries.
