The advent of diverse information technology systems has revolutionized the way of doing things. A majority of business solutions are automated to meet the changing needs of the end users. Information systems have proved to be effective in implementing the business processes of most organizations and institutions across the globe. Library Book Management System is an online application that was developed and designed with the sole objective of automating library services. The system was intended to address the current problems experienced in Narok county libraries, with an emphasis on Maasai Mara University library which has not fully automated its services. This system aimed at automating the processes of cataloging, book circulation, fine calculation, card processing, member details maintenance, and reports generation. A number of tools were used to implement this system. They include: PHP scripting language, HTML5, JavaScript, JQuery library, Cascading Style Sheets, MySQL 5.3 database running on Wamp Server, Bootstrap, Microsoft Visio 2010, Microsoft Project 2007, Microsoft Office 2010, Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, and Adobe Photoshop CS4. In reference to this system’s objectives, a fully automated library book management system was developed using the aforementioned tools. The system’s performance meets user’s requirements, hence providing the main benefit of concentrating all the library services and functions within the power of a mouse click and feeding of data into the system.

The project titled Library Management System is Library management software for monitoring and controlling the transactions in a library .The project “Library Management System” is developed in Php/Mysql Css Javascript, which mainly focuses on basic operations in a library like adding new member, new books, and updating new information, searching books and members and facility to borrow and return books. “Library Management System” is a web application, designed to help users maintain and organize library. Our application is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a familiar and well thought-out, an attractive user interface, combined with strong searching Insertion and reporting capabilities. The report generation facility of library system helps to get a good idea of which are the books borrowed by the members, makes users possible to generate reports’ hard copy. The software Library Management System has four main modules. Insertion to Database Module – User friendly input screen, Extracting from Database module – Attractive Output Screen, Report Generation module – borrowed book list & Available book list, Search Facility system – search for books and members

With the ever-increasing sea of information, this modern function of the library is becoming very complex and tedious to handle manually. The librarian has to devote most of his/her time to handing such functions of the library. The manual system being implemented at Tawau Community College had problems such as file lost and damaged, difficulty in searching records and viewing reports and space consuming in keeping records and files. These problems eventually lead to unsystematic and un-effective record system and also time consuming to do correction and re-arrangement. Thus, Tawau Community College Library System is proposed and developed as a solution to solved the arising problems and create a more efficient library management system. Tawau Community College Library System is about the system that will manage books in the library using computerize system and also manage the process of borrowing and returning the book. Keywords : Tawau Community College Library System, library computerize system, library management system.

The basic objective of this study is to provide a detailed perspective of current situation of public libraries workings and procedures in Karachi (Pakistan) and propose automation strategy with implementation strategy. The study elaborates on the needs of automated library management system components ideally packaging into an ALMS. Differences between available library management system(s) and proposed ALMS have been highlighted as well. This study recommends the development as well as implementation architectures, development technologies, database platforms, required human resources, and Infrastructure (i.e. servers, client machines etc.) for ALMS as a preferred system for public libraries in Karachi,Pakistan.In this study we have proposed a new model for public libraries that refocuses them on the vital task of knowledge management coherent within their communities by way of forming a hub for sharing and disseminating pertinent knowledge. A multi-layered architecture has been proposed for managing information on both local and global levels by creating a connection among multiple instances of system via internet. Statistical data collected by surveying thirty public libraries all over Karachi played a pivotal role in the proposed system design. Different aspects of the system has been identified, quantified and grouped into robust and flexible modules to facilitate the common interactions with the application. The system incorporates modules as pluggable and/or reusable components using MVC design pattern to ease the process of adding, modifying, and/or deleting modules without affecting the integrity of the system. The system features an extremely fast NoSQL database for local storage for real time and offline search (while internet is down). All local databases are combined to form a global database to facilitate the passive users (book readers) of the system. The system also defines four different user-views to provide multi-level access of either the local or global database to its users. Since the horizon of technology is very fragmented, the system is designed to be extremely portable by using Electron framework which enables the application to cover all major platforms Windows, Linux, and Macintosh which are most widely used Operating systems by Institutions.
