AUTOMATED LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR MOUNTAIN TOP UNIVERSITY

Abstract

A Library Management System (LMS) is software that allows you to search for books, manage books, monitor borrowed books, and pay fines and fees all in one location. It helps the librarian manage books and books borrowed by members while also automating the bulk of library functions. It improves efficiency, lowers library maintenance expenses, and saves both the user and the librarian time and effort. The goal of this project is to provide a system for handling all information about the Librarian, the students, and catalogs such as books, magazines, and newspapers. MySQL database, PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript were used in the development of the web application known as Library Management System. The library management system will improve services for both users (e.g., students), and library management system will enhance services for both users (e.g., students) and staff (e.g., librarians), such as shortening the time it takes to find books and increasing the accuracy and timeliness of record generation, among other things. Libraries that are still using manual methods are recommended to transition to library management systems to stay up with the global trend of technical advancement.
