Example Project: Online Library Management System


This project focuses on creating a web-based application that allows students
and librarians to manage books, issue/return them, and track due dates
efficiently.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Libraries face challenges in manual bookkeeping, delayed returns, and inefficient
tracking. A digital solution can streamline library operations.
1.2 Objectives
 Automate the book issuing and returning process.
 Allow students to search for books online.
 Enable librarians to manage book inventory efficiently.
1.3 Purpose, Scope, and Applicability
 Purpose: Reduce paperwork and errors in library management.
 Scope: Applicable in educational institutions, public libraries, and private
book collections.
 Applicability: Useful for students, librarians, and administrative staff.
1.4 Achievements
 Developed a database to store book details.
 Created a user-friendly interface for students and librarians.

CHAPTER 2: SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGIES


 Comparison of programming languages (Python vs. Java).
 Database options (MySQL vs. MongoDB).
 Justification for using Python (Django framework) and MySQL for this
project.

CHAPTER 3: REQUIREMENTS AND ANALYSIS

Libraries struggle with manual record-keeping and lost books. This system
digitalizes the process.
3.2 Requirements Specification
 Functional: User login, book search, book issuing, and return tracking.
 Non-functional: Security, performance, and scalability.
3.3 Planning and Scheduling
 Phase 1: Research & design (Week 1-2).
 Phase 2: Development (Week 3-6).
 Phase 3: Testing & deployment (Week 7-8).
3.4 Software and Hardware Requirements
 Software: Python, Django, MySQL.
 Hardware: Server with at least 4GB RAM, 100GB storage.
3.5 Preliminary Product Description
 A web-based system with login features, book search, and an admin panel.
3.6 Conceptual Models
 Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) showing relationships between books,
students, and transactions.

CHAPTER 4: SYSTEM DESIGN


4.1 Basic Modules
 User authentication, book management, transaction handling.
4.2 Data Design
