1.0 Introduction

Online Library Management System – provides an online interface to access the services provided by the library.

1.1 Purpose OLMS allows the user to access all of the library services online instead of going to the library for every single reason like re-issuing a book. The system gives detail information about all the books available in the library. It allows the user to see who has borrowed a particular book and when is the due date for the same. It also allows user to reserve a book, to recommend a book for the library and also to get email updates about new books and due dates of books issued.

1.2 Scope Members login to the system to manage their account and any books

issued/reserved by them currently or earlier.

Members can check the due dates of the books issued and other relevant details.

Universal Search Service can be accessed even without logging in to the system.

Users can reserve a book and will receive email update when the book is free.

Students and Teachers can place requests for purchasing new books to the library.

All new book requests are put up for voting to the members.



The library maintains a Central Database and book authors and publishers can upload details about their books to the Database.

The Central Database allows users to easily get information for requesting new books. Also, the cataloguing new books arriving in the library is very simple as the information will already be in the Database.
